Montero attacks the PP: "You have to be very desperate to call for turncoats"

The acting Minister of Finance and Public Function, María Jesús Montero, has asked the Popular Party this Thursday to stop making calls for the turncoat" of the Socialist deputies after the PP Deputy Secretary of Culture, Borja Sémper, will encourage them to support Alberto Núñez Feijóo to those who were uncomfortable with current circumstances.

"You have to be desperate to make an appeal to the PSOE deputies," said the deputy general secretary of the Socialists during an interview on TVE, in which she also insisted that the PP has to "abandon this political practice." Montero recalled that Feijóo's formation is a party that rewarded the two UPN deputies who voted against the labor reform, breaking what was agreed by their party.

According to the socialist minister, these types of statements are "a new posture" by the popular leader to "not face the reality of his party" and delay the moment in which it becomes clear that "he has little to talk about" with the nationalists to whom he has been "insulting" for the last four years.

Montero has indicated that the inauguration of the popular leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, is an "absolute waste of time" to avoid facing "internal crises" of his formation and has been convinced that they are not going to get any more support." created conditions during the legislature to produce any type of rapprochement with any political group that is not Vox", he commented.

During the interview, the minister was also asked about the negotiations for a hypothetical investiture of the socialist leader, Pedro Sánchez, and the requests for amnesty by the pro-independence groups.

Montero has insisted that the PSOE continue to work "with discretion" but always within the "legal framework established by the Constitution." "The Socialist Party has always conveyed and has always conveyed the desire to restore normalcy in Catalonia", he highlighted.
