The PP tries to ensure that its rejection of the decree laws that Congress will see tomorrow, and for which the Government does not have the necessary votes to approve them, does not turn against it, as it tries to, they believe from the formation led by Núñez Feijóo, to make the PSOE. According to the popular ones, the socialists want to hold them responsible for not being able to raise pensions, or unemployment aid, and not the investiture partners who also oppose the decrees.
Thus, Feijóo announced this Tuesday, before the national executive committee, that if tomorrow, in Congress, "the decrees fall", those measures "on which we agree", such as this increase in pensions, or other social and economic, not for example the increase in VAT on gas and electricity from 5 to 10%, that is, "those that improve the lives of citizens," he said, "we will save them," taking them in the form of a bill presented by the PP, week after week, so that the PSOE can approve them
In this way, Feijóo stressed, the PP "will not come to Sánchez's rescue, but it will favor the Spanish." The president of the PP was very critical of the way in which the socialists are treating the PP, in the debate on the decrees, as in others, and warned Pedro Sánchez that "the support of the PP cannot be demanded based on insults, contempt and reproaches" and that when the support of the PP is required it must be "the result of an honest and prior negotiation", because it seems that the PP is the only party that "cannot set conditions and cannot give its opinion", so he demanded "respect for Spain's first game."
Before announcing this initiative, Alberto Núñez Feijóo had explained in Onda cero that there was only one possibility that one of the decrees, only one of the three pending ones, the anti-crisis decree, could be saved and validated in the plenary session of Congress tomorrow. That possibility was that the Government "signed and formed" a new decree law, which should be approved in the Council of Ministers next week, with the three conditions set by the PP to approve it. These conditions are the deflation of personal income tax for incomes of up to 40,000 euros per year; reduce VAT on meat, fish and preserves; and maintain VAT on gas and electricity at 5%.
The popular leader sees, however, little chance that this could happen, because he himself offered on December 22, five days before the decrees were approved, the possibility of studying it with the same conditions that he proposes now, and the On the 27th the Council of Ministers approved them without having maintained any contact with the PP. Afterwards, the economic head of the PP asked to meet with the first vice presidents, María Jesús Montero, and third, Teresa Ribera, but the Government ruled out that possibility.
And it is now, 48 hours before the vote and when Junts has said that it will vote no, and Podemos has caused problems, when the Government turns to the PP to ask for support, in exchange for nothing, offering only to process the decree laws, a once validated, as bills, but without committing to admit the conditions of the PP, which is why the popular people do not trust, due to the experience of the last legislature, in which in the end only 20 of the 142 approved decree laws became into law and changes were made.
In tomorrow's vote you can only say yes or no "and what the PP has proposed is not there", so it is not possible for the PP to abstain under these conditions, he said, because "the first party in Spain cannot become in Sánchez's last resort". For the president of the PP, Sánchez cannot "recover the sense of state from six to eight, to approve the decree laws with the PP, and at eight to approve the amnesty law."
In any case, the president of the PP is convinced that the Government "has no interest in reaching an agreement with the PP", only holding it responsible for the fact that the decrees are not approved, because when it has been offered to dialogue, the response has been, he said , "that with the PP one does not govern", and now the President of the Government finds himself in this situation, because "when walls are built, there is a risk of hitting the wall."
Regarding the dumping of plastic pellets that have reached the Galician and Asturian coasts from a spill in Portuguese waters, the president of the PP assured that according to experts they are not toxic, "but the political use" that the Government is making is toxic. of the situation, "holding the Xunta responsible for a spill that it has known about since December 20 and about which it did not inform the Xunta until January 3."
Feijóo is convinced that the PSOE intends to make this spill another Prestige, for which at that time it held the PP Government responsible, since Aznar was in La Moncloa, and which it now wants to ignore. "But we Galicians have memory," said Feijóo.
The president of the PP acknowledged, in the interview on Onda Cero, that his program did not include the proposal to dissolve parties that promote acts of disloyalty against the Constitution, but he recalled that with the PP proposal "ideas are not pursued, but "crimes", and there are already 35 causes for the dissolution of parties, if crimes are committed, for example bribery, embezzlement, or links to terrorism.
Feijóo stressed that what the PP has presented is an amendment to the entire amnesty law, where the crime of calling an illegal referendum is recovered or the fines for embezzlement are increased, and the possibility of illegalizing a party would be for cases aggravated in the commission of those crimes. Furthermore, he said, it is just a proposal that if it went ahead, which has no chance of happening, it could be enriched with contributions from other parties.
