The president of Castilla-La Mancha, Emiliano García-Page, has been "very contrary" to the agreement between the PSOE and ERC to eliminate the crime of sedition and reduce the crime of embezzlement and has indicated that "it is not tolerable to agree with criminals their own sentence" and that the Penal Code cannot be made "tailored to the guilty".
At a press conference in Ocaña (Toledo), after the meeting of the Governing Council of Castilla-La Mancha, García-Page stated that this is a "serious moment" for Spanish politics, "one of those that remain etched in the retina collective" and that it hurts him "as a Spaniard and as a militant", and he stressed that "nothing good can come of such an unfair measure for the rest of the Spaniards".
He explained that he is "very consistent" with his opinions, and even with those that he has heard from the Government "some time ago", and that he has always expressed it since he was a member of the PSOE, whether it was Felipe González, Almunia, Zapatero or Rubalcaba. , "and that's why I give it today".
García-Page has said that he does not need to be explained what has happened since "basically, it is what it seems" as the citizens understand it or as Junqueras, Aragonés or Puigdemont understand it, and has stressed that "it is not tolerable to agree with the criminals their own condemnation. Period. There is no turning back".
He has also stated that the Penal Code cannot be reformed "to the extent of the guilty" and has predicted that "nothing good can come of such an unfair measure for the rest of the Spaniards", a measure that, he has insisted, does not It is from the left because "it is not from the left to support territorial imbalances" and it is not going to help solve the problem of the Catalan independence movement.
In this sense, he has affirmed that the independentistas "have not even recognized that they did it wrong" and at this moment "they are making clear what their roadmap is", and he has stressed his position: "taking public money and diverting it for something purely illegal is pure corruption and I am not going to commune with that mill wheel".
García-Page has been very critical of the Government when affirming that "it would be easier for it to say that it does so because it has no other choice" and also with the PP for not applying "at the first moment" article 155 in Catalonia, therefore that "nobody interpret that I endorse any position of the PP".
From those "powders" of the PP for "doing nothing", came the "muds" of the illegal referendum and according to García-Page from the "powders" of the agreement between PSOE and ERC to reform the Penal Code will come stronger "muds".
Emiliano García-Page has advanced that as regional president he will present a legislative initiative in the coming weeks that prevents the possibility of making any type of consultation that affects all Spaniards if not all Spanish speak, since "if they talk about sovereignty national, we all speak".
"I have the obligation to say what I think. In deputies and senators I neither puncture nor short but as regional president I promise to present this initiative," he added, while saying that the PSOE is the only party that includes the 'E ' of Spain in its nomenclature and would stop having it if it negotiates something that is the responsibility of all Spaniards".
He also recalled that last week he already warned of the "blackmail" of the independentistas "and today I denounce it and criticize that the State begins to assume the threat of the independentistas."
Regarding whether he has contacted the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, García-Page has indicated that "I do not speak" of his calls and private conversations and added: "I am very clear about what I think".
