The Valencian PP is not in favor of using Valencian institutions such as the City Council or the Consell de la Generalitat Valenciana to call for mobilizations against the pact between the PSOE and Junts and against the amnesty. But it has accepted that two plenary debates be held in the corporation and the Corts Valencianes, in the first case at the request of María José Catalá and in the second at the request of Vox, which registered the proposal yesterday. The City Council will be held next week.
Carlos Mazón considered Vox's request to hold an extraordinary plenary session on the amnesty in Les Corts as a "magnificent idea" and announced that the PP will support the request because it believes that we must "talk about what is happening in Spain." "I, as president of the Generalitat, am responsible and the ordinary representative of the State in the Valencian Community and I am going to defend the State, in the Valencian Community and also in Les Corts, because it has to do with the Spanish State," he added. .
In any case, PP sources indicated that we will have to see the evolution of the investiture debate, and the strategic decisions of the national leadership, to develop the opposition against a pact that Carlos Mazón yesterday described as a "breakdown of the values of the Constitution." . Catalá, for his part, valued that the plenary session should serve to underline that "this City Council is positioned in favor of the Constitution."
Last Wednesday, the Valencian vice president and Minister of Culture, Vicente Barrera, of Vox, after a meeting with Santiago Abascal, advocated, as requested by the ultra national leader, to call from the Consell to citizens against Pedro Sánchez's agreement with the independentists. At the same time he defended the need for citizens to "demonstrate in the streets." Barrera described the pact on social networks: "How disgusting, shame, indignation and betrayal." The Vox spokesperson at the City Council spoke in similar terms yesterday, Juan Manuel Bádenas, who sparked a bitter controversy by pointing out, when asked about the Nazi symbols in the demonstrations, that "being a Nazi is not a crime."
The PP wants to maintain its own initiative in the mobilizations and not give in to Vox's claims, according to these sources. In fact, they are preparing the rallies that will be held this weekend in the capitals against the amnesty agreed with the independentists. "We respect what others do, but we have our own roadmap against the pact between the PSOE and Junts," they add.
Carlos Mazón yesterday called for participation in the rallies called by the PP for this Sunday in Castelló, València and Alicante to "defend the Constitution" and "the democratic heritage of our fathers." Some protests, he pointed out, that "are without hoods, without balaclavas, without flares, peaceful by the force of reason, that is the most important thing." Thus, he called to defend the Constitution "with determination, with peace, tranquility, but with a high level of demand", although "with a certain dose of anger, because we are not going to deny it."
