Almost at the same time that Pedro Sánchez was speaking at the opening of the summit of European leaders on the integration of the Balkan countries into the European orbit, the president of the Popular Party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, assured in Madrid that the socialist leader and The current candidate for the investiture runs the risk of taking Spain “towards a horizon similar to that of the Balkans.”
It was at the presentation of the president of the Balearic Islands, Marga Prohens, at an event organized by Europa Press in Madrid where Feijóo recovered a very harsh speech against the nationalists and accused the acting president of giving in to them. Feijóo reiterated his commitment against the “unconditional surrender” and “capitulation” of Pedro Sánchez, with which “the independence movement will obtain almost everything, and Spain, nothing.”
Feijóo is convinced that Sánchez is willing to do anything, even if it means uniting “an independence movement defeated at the polls” with “the unbridled ambition of someone who has also been defeated at the polls.” Both, said the leader of the Popular Party, “try to undermine the authentic diversity of Spain and the Spanish people.”
For Feijóo, both the amnesty and self-determination or privileges in regional financing are matters of State that "steal from the will of the Spanish people", with the sole objective of "pleasing the independence movement and disguising the surrender to their demands with a distortion of language.” For this reason, Feijóo considers that it is necessary to remember that the independence movement "led a coup against the State, against the Constitution, against the Spain of the autonomies", with one motivation, "to break the rule of law and the separation of powers and to silence to the Catalans who want tolerant diversity.”
Now, the PP leader assured, they want the same thing with the difference that "they have found someone willing to agree to their claims, as long as they guarantee them power."
Along the same lines, the PP spokesperson, Borja Sémper, expressed, after the meeting of the party leadership, his “concern about the Catalanization of Spanish politics and about the division”, which make Spain “run the serious risk of "that political polarization contaminates Spanish society."
According to Sémper, the current situation can lead to “a scenario of worrying political rupture” and “serious risks of contamination to society.”
The PP, he stressed, does not want to contribute to this, but that will not stop it from denouncing the amnesty that the Government is willing to grant, and which until a few months ago it considered unconstitutional; and all, Sémper stressed, “for the interest of a few, who prevail over the interest of the Spanish.”
