The resolution of the Constitutional Court that agrees with the PP and has paralyzed the processing of the reforms of the General Council of the Judiciary and the Constitutional Court in the Senate has given wings to the PP, which sees it as a triumph.
Alberto Núñez Feijóo appeared before the media yesterday after noon, shortly after Pedro Sánchez, before "the seriousness of the statements of the highest representatives of the institutions", to put in his terms what the Constitutional resolution implies.
With a contained tone, but without hiding his satisfaction with the Court's decision, Feijóo set out his demands to renew the General Council of the Judiciary and the Constitutional Court. To sit down again, the popular leader demands that Sánchez renounce the abolition of the crime of sedition, that he recover the penalties that existed before for embezzlement and add another condition: that another crime be included in the reform of the Penal Code, the calling of an illegal referendum. To all this, Feijóo added that his purpose is to "depoliticize Justice", for which he proposes agreeing on a law.
The leader of the PP considers that these conditions are inadmissible for Sánchez and even so he presents them as "a way out that can satisfy the majority of citizens."
The popular leader considers that Sánchez must rectify. And he blames him for "the serious institutional crisis that Spain is experiencing" for "an unprecedented verbal escalation" that he attributes to the Government and its partners, and for "a concatenation of assignments that are clearly unacceptable within a democracy." Cessions to the independentistas such as the abolition of sedition and the reduction of embezzlement, which the PP believes are not acceptable and which it will fight against in the Constitutional Court, challenging both the form and the substance of the legal reform.
The leader of the PP made his particular interpretation of the decision of the Constitutional Court to prevent the deliberation of the reform of the law of the Court of Guarantees in the Senate promoted by the Government and its allies.
“Has the TC prevented these two legal reforms from being voted on in the Cortes? Absolutely not. Has he stolen the parliamentary debate? No. Quite the contrary, it has come to guarantee it, "he said, adding that the government intended to make" a cacicada that has no place "in the rule of law.
For this reason, the leader of the PP contradicted the President of the Government and his partners who have presented the TC decision as "an attack on parliamentarianism" when, in his opinion, it is actually a defense of the Cortes Generales and the rights of deputies, since the Chambers cannot be a "mere extension of the Government".
