If there is someone who defends the Constitution, that is the PP, and this was revealed by its president, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, who is convinced that "millions of socialist voters" who defend the Constitution will not vote for Sánchez's party when they put the ballot boxes, and he and the PP project are offered to them, with which he will present himself to the elections.

Feijóo believes that the biggest threat is that the independentistas mark Sánchez's agenda

If there is someone who defends the Constitution, that is the PP, and this was revealed by its president, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, who is convinced that "millions of socialist voters" who defend the Constitution will not vote for Sánchez's party when they put the ballot boxes, and he and the PP project are offered to them, with which he will present himself to the elections.

And it is that, for Feijóo, the main threat to the Constitution, at this time, is that "the independentistas set the political agenda" and are the partners of Pedro Sánchez, "who do not give a damn about Spain" and who "want to destroy Spain", those who support the Government, and for those who are legislating.

Before beginning the commemorative acts of the 44th anniversary of the Constitution, the president of the PP stressed that "there is a latent threat to the Constitution, which has been verified with facts and decisions of the Government", which cannot be ignored, because "when the parties that are against the Constitution are the ones that make up the political agenda" and when the governability of Spain depends "on those who want to leave Spain or say they don't give a damn about Spain", it poses a threat.

And that, in addition, supposes "a before and after" in the defense of the Constitution, in which the PSOE and the PP have always been united. Hence his conviction that "millions of socialist voters" are not going to submit to those decisions. Feijóo offers his hand to those voters, at the polls, and assured that he is convinced that "with a new PSOE, we will resume consensus", because, he said, "we are not going to destroy our history, which is a success story, progress and freedom".

The president of the PP defended the validity of the Constitution, which for him is synonymous with "democracy, rights, guarantees, the unity of the nation, one of the oldest in the world, and the existence of autonomous communities" . With it, the popular leader stressed, "we defeated the coup d'état of 1981; with the Constitution in hand, we endured, but we defeated, the terrorism of ETA, and by applying the Constitution we stopped the separatist demonstration of 2017", in reference to the process in Catalonia.

The difference now, according to Feijóo, is not that there are parties that are against the Constitution, something that has always happened, but what is "worrying now, surprising and novel, is that "those anti-constitutionalist parties are part of the agenda of Spanish politics and are allies of the Government of Spain".

For the president of the PP, these parties "are a real threat", as is being seen with decisions that the president of the Government has been adopting, such as the abolition of the crime of sedition. "Very surprising decisions, which are skirting the Constitution and filling many citizens with misgivings."

Faced with this situation, Alberto Núñez Feijóo expressed his commitment to "continue working for cordiality, the spirit of consensus that animates" the Magna Carta and to "defend the Constitution and comply with it."

Regarding the renewal of the General Council of the Judiciary, blocked for four years, and which the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, uses to denounce that the PP does not comply with the Constitution, the popular leader stressed that the Council "is intervened by the Government , which has abolished its powers", and since it now interests him, he returns part of it, but only to appoint Supreme Court magistrates. Feijoo considers that it is time for "all of them to be returned to him, so that he can function normally." In addition, he assured that "anything that depoliticizes justice will have the yes of the PP", but that whatever it is to make decisions "at the letter of the convicted and annul the Supreme Court sentences, they will have our rejection", because we do not it is possible to "defend judicial independence and annul decisions of the Constitutional Court", just as the defense of the Constitution does not match with making "a Penal Code so that those convicted are exonerated from penalties".
