Feijóo says that he spoke of "Catalonia's fit" because it is the term used by the independentists

The president of the PP denies that there are discrepancies in his party about the way in which he is negotiating his possible investiture or about his proposal on Catalonia. After recognizing on Wednesday, in the Canary Islands, that we must look for "a fit for the territorial problem of Catalonia", Alberto Núñez Feijóo denies that he has caused discomfort in the party, and assures that what he said was done "on purpose" and in the terms that I wanted to do it.

"Use the terminology used by the independentistas, on purpose," he said during an interview on the Espejo Público program on Antena3, since he is thus responding to Puigdemont's demands: amnesty and a self-determination referendum, "which are illegal," and That is why the important thing was what came after that statement, saying that this fit "is either done through a state pact, it is not done, or it is within the Constitution or it will not be, and it is in accordance with the law or not. be".

The president of the PP did not want to advance further on his proposal, but stressed that he is not going to renounce equality among Spaniards, hence his statement that this fit must be within the Constitution "which is what I have always said" , and that is why no one from his party can feel hurt, because it is maintaining what the PP has always maintained.

There cannot be discrepancies, he said, which are being seen within the PSOE with the acceptance of the amnesty or with the self-determination referendum, where the discrepancies are more than noticeable, having heard the interventions of Felipe González, Alfonso Guerra or others. leaders such as former ministers Ramón Jáuregui.

What's more, Alberto Núñez Feijóo attributes the progress of Maritxel Batet's politics to issues like this, because she "was respectful of a report from lawyers who a year ago said that the admission for processing could not be classified, by the table, of an amnesty law proposal, because it was clearly unconstitutional", and now, she stressed, "she must be perplexed by the fact that a colleague (in reference to the current president of Congress, Francina Armengol) does the opposite", because if "It is not understood" that he would present his resignation, he said, a month after winning the elections.

Feijóo asks the Spaniards to ask themselves a question, which has changed in sixty days for Sánchez himself, who believed that the amnesty was unconstitutional, and he himself answers, "only one thing, that Pedro Sánchez has lost the elections" .

In his opinion, in addition to talking about whether the amnesty is constitutional or not, what should be asked of the independence supporters is "whether or not they accept the Constitution", or if "they will not do it again", declare independence, or "if "They are going to ask that the state, us, apologize for having used the right state."

Alberto Núñez Feijóo believes that what Sánchez is doing is incomprehensible in the leader of a party that approved article 155, and that is now willing to do what Puigdemont intends, "to return 155 to the state and have the Government intervened by the independentists".

For this reason, the president of the PP insists on going to an investiture agreed between the two major parties, with the votes of the constitutionalist parties, which represent 94% of the Spanish vote, while the independentists represent only 6% of the votes. votes.

Feijóo rejects that the PP is promoting transfuguism among socialist deputies. "Do they have so little confidence in their deputies?" he says, although "if some say that it is neither moral nor ethical, and does not fit in the Constitution, as the president of Castilla-La Mancha, it is reasonable for us to say that they are coherent.

Regarding the proposed law for the use of languages ​​in Congress, the president of the PP criticized that it wants to be processed urgently and by single reading, so that the parties cannot debate it, nor amend it, nor go through the regulation commission . He stressed that he has always spoken in Galician in the Galician Parliament, except when someone addressed him in Spanish, and that "he is no more Galician for speaking in Galician with someone who does not understand me", at the same time that he wondered if There will be the same freedom to speak the language you want in the schools of Catalonia.
