The president of the acting government, Pedro Sánchez, justified this Thursday that he is studying the possibility of an amnesty for the 'procès' politicians because "five groups are asking for pardon measures", which would mean having the parliamentary support of "about 56 seats.”
This was indicated to journalists at the reception at the Royal Palace on the occasion of the National Holiday in reference to the request that they are being sent by Esquerra Republicana, Junts, Bildu, the PNV and Sumar in the form of “opinions” and “proposals.” .
“The PSOE has its opinion, and when we have to explain it we will do so,” he remarked and added that “always” the socialists have said “the same thing”: “Progressive policies, coexistence and constitutional framework.” “What we do will be constitutional,” he concluded, although the Government "listens" to the proposals that ask for forgiveness from the prosecuted Catalan independence politicians.
Regarding whether, within the framework of the negotiation, he will hold a meeting or meeting with the former Catalan president Carles Puigdemont, Sánchez has maintained an ambiguous position: he has limited himself to making it clear that he meets and speaks with political groups.
In this regard, the acting President of the Government stated that the telephone call he had yesterday with the leader of ERC, Oriol Junqueras, before meeting with the spokesperson of this formation in Congress, Gabriel Rufián, was due to the fact that he has a relationship " different” with this party and because there is a “base” of work, of negotiation.
Therefore, regarding whether he will hold a meeting or a conversation with the general secretary of EH Bildu, Arnaldo Otegi, or with Puigdemont, he stressed that he is going to meet with the parliamentary groups. In addition, he acknowledged being in “full negotiation” and stressed that he will speak when agreements are reached, until then “discretion,” he insisted.
Regarding the investiture, he stressed that the negotiations “are complex,” but that “progress is being made.” In fact, he assured that this negotiation is “more complex” than the previous one. However, he guaranteed that he is working to ensure that there are no elections again and advocated not speculating that new elections will be held in January.
On July 23, Sánchez commented at the reception at the Royal Palace, the Spaniards voted that there would not be a Government of the Popular Party and Vox and he assured that he understood that it is “very frustrating” for them because they thought they were going to win and the people Said no". Furthermore, he stressed that Spain is “broader” than what they see.
At this point, he pointed out that the symbols, Spain, the flag and the National Holiday that is celebrated today represent "everyone", not just "them". Regarding the whistles, boos and shouts of 'let Txapote vote', he highlighted What is "serious" is not that a citizen says it, but that PP and Vox leaders say it and no one demands that they rectify it.
According to Sánchez, whenever there is a president of the socialist Government this happens and he added that there is an attempt to appropriate common symbols by the right. In this sense, he criticized that the PP has been “heating up the street,” but he clarified that this benefits Vox and not the popular ones.
Returning to Alberto Núñez Feijóo's party, he accused him of trying to nationalize the debate, and as an example he gave that he is trying to do so with Israel. For Sánchez, the PP does not assume what Spain is like and in its ranks there is an “absence” of a political project.
