The hardness in Alberto Núñez Feijóo’s tone advances one step more every day. Only 24 hours following Congress approved the amnesty law by an absolute majority, the leader of the PP appeared before his people at a party event in Ávila, where he made all kinds of statements once morest the Government. “If citizens are not equal before the law, we do not live in a democratic country,” said the popular leader regarding the measure of grace for those prosecuted by the process. From another front, Feijóo has once once more attacked the Executive with the Koldo case, which on this occasion he has used to request the resignation of the president. “Sánchez carries too many suitcases on his back that prevent him from being useful to his country. “Let him open them, let him show what there is, let him do his thing and abandon the responsibilities he does not exercise,” said the head of the opposition in reference to the alleged relationship between the alleged corrupt plot and the stopover made by the vice president of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, at the Bajaras airport.
In their efforts to show the territorial muscle of the PP once morest the central Government, the popular people have brought together representatives of municipalism this Friday in Ávila at the conference Provincial councils, councils and councils: for a future of equality. An event organized a week following the regional barons conspired in Córdoba once morest La Moncloa and Feijóo stated that the PP has “more responsibility for government” than the PSOE because it governs in more places. “There is a different way to govern, there is a better way to govern, and you are testimony to it. We will pursue the State policy that the Government has renounced,” he reiterated this Friday.
The Popular Party’s strategy also involves insisting that the Executive, with the budgets extended following the call for Catalan elections on Wednesday and with the amnesty law approved by Congress on Thursday, is finished. “This week summarizes a government in decomposition. There is a socialist party that wants to take everyone ahead,” said Feijóo, for whom the Government has exceeded “all political, ethical and even legal limits” and who suffers from “agony” due to Sánchez’s “submission” to the demands of its partners. Up front, the Government insists that the mandate remains for a while. “They have been saying for six years that the legislature is ending, my Government has just started the third,” Sánchez replied to the popular members in the Senate, on Tuesday.
In parallel, the Madrid Bar Association has come out in defense of Isabel Díaz Ayuso’s partner, who admitted to being a tax fraudster. “They dispatch everything with the fan,” Feijóo continued from Ávila, in a veiled reference to the request for resignation by Sánchez to the president of the Community, in the muddy session on Wednesday, and following learning that the prosecutor’s office is investigating him for alleged tax crime and document falsification following the sale of masks in exchange for commissions during the pandemic. The PP continues to close ranks around Díaz Ayuso in public despite the fact that both the Madrid president and numerous members of the party have charged, especially because of the Koldo case, once morest those who profited in the worst moments of the health crisis. Feijóo, of course, wanted to leave a phrase today to convey a message regarding the fight once morest corruption. “We will expel anyone who puts his hand in the box in our party and we will be ashamed of him,” said the head of the opposition.
Feijóo thanked his people for uniting in a common front once morest a Government that suffers from “democratic urgency.” And he has pointed out that the early call of the Catalan elections has motivated the Government to refuse to present budgets, but to reverse the amnesty law. The leader of the PP has proclaimed that the text of the grace measure is the “only law” that the Council of Ministers has approved this legislature, although this is not true. Well, they have also already given the green light to other regulations such as the increase in the Minimum Interprofessional Wage (SMI). And he has criticized that the failure to prepare Public Accounts affects groups such as pensioners, when the revaluation of pensions was promoted by Royal Decree-Law.
