The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, displayed this Wednesday in Congress the speech with which he had already counterattacked the opposition leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo on Tuesday: situating the PP as a party that violates the legality of the laws, the Constitution and the resolutions of European justice.
He did so in response to a question from the PP spokesperson, Cuca Gamarra, who suggested that the president lacks the capacity to dismiss members of his government, due to his parliamentary weakness.
Gamarra mentioned the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, for his disapproval and the Supreme Court ruling on the dismissal of General Pérez de los Cobos; to the Minister of Equality, Irene Montero, for her vote against the reform of the law of the Only yes is yes; to the Minister of Justice, Pilar Llop, for the strikes in the justice sector; to the Government delegate for Gender Violence, Victoria Rosell, for demonstrating against Llop's ministry; the second vice president, Yolanda Díaz, for having called him "macho", and the Secretary of State for Equality, Ángeles Rodríguez 'Pam', for her attacks on other members of the executive branch and the Justice.
And he finished: "Mr. Sánchez, who appoints and removes his ministers?"
"The answer to your question is in article 100 of the Spanish Constitution, that same Constitution whose article 122 you have been failing to comply with for 1,602 days," the president replied briefly.
In his reply, Gamarra disdained the president's housing announcements, to whom he attributed his determination to remain in La Moncloa as the only real housing policy. The spokesperson appealed to the polls, repeated that "you are chaos" and then reiterated the PP motto that Núñez Feijóo had announced in the Senate the day before: "We will repeal sanchismo."
The president closed the exchange accusing the PP of lacking solid arguments and having based all its opposition action during the legislature "on disqualification, insult, hoax, misinformation and noise", despite which the numbers of the country are the best in the European environment in terms of growth, inflation, job creation and reduction of inequality.
Sánchez endorsed the stability and operability of the coalition government in the budgets approved in due time and form, in the legislative production and in the management of European funds, and closed by alluding to the unsubmissive condition of the PP with respect to the laws: "I am only telling you one thing: what is approved in these Cortes Generales has to be complied with in each and every one of the territories, and you can now tell your autonomous communities that the Housing law will be complied with in each and every one of the territories from this country".
And he elaborated on it: "You are very prone to not complying with the legislation and I once again demand that you and your party comply with European legislation and put an end to the outrage in the Doñana park."
The summary of the day, and of the previous debate in the Senate, gives a precise idea of what is coming in the electoral campaign: the PP's promise to repeal whatever "sanchismo" is, and the PSOE's demand that the PP depose your insubordination to the law.
