The PP hopes that Sánchez debates with Feijóo in the Senate but fears that

The PP is already preparing the landing of the national leader of his party in the Senate. Its general secretary, Cuca Gamarra, hopes that the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, will debate in the Upper House with Alberto Núñez Feijóo but fears that the Chief Executive will not "change his attitude" and will choose to be "reticent" and " run away" from parliamentary control, as, in his opinion, happens in the lower house.

This is how Gamarra pronounced himself one day before Feijóo takes possession of his seat, together with the Deputy Secretary of Organization, Miguel Tellado, whom the Galician Parliament will designate this afternoon as senators by regional appointment. On Friday, the leader of the PP has summoned his deputies and senators in the Upper House to "set the priorities for this new stage."

When asked if she expects the first face-to-face meeting between Sánchez and Feijóo to take place on June 7 and if she trusts the President of the Government to attend the Senate more regularly, Gamarra indicated that "if this legislature is characterized by something It is due to the reluctance of the Prime Minister to submit to parliamentary control".

It should be remembered that the president of the PP will be elected this afternoon in the Parliament of Galicia as a senator by regional appointment together with the deputy secretary of Organization of the formation, Miguel Tellado. In the celebration of the plenary session, Feijóo will occupy the seat that until now has been used by the parliamentary spokesman for the PP, Pedro Puy, and will be placed just behind the president of the Xunta, Alfonso Rueda.

The next day, already in the plenary session of the Senate, both Feijóo and Tellado will promise their position and take their seats in the Upper House.

After assuring that Sánchez should be "accustomed to giving an account to the Spanish of many issues for which he has the maximum responsibility", he recalled that the Prime Minister appears this Thursday in Congress to give an account of the so-called Pegasus case because " they are brought" by the opposition groups to "give accounts" and not of their own free will.

That said, he recalled that Sánchez has a pending appearance to talk about his change of position in relation to Western Sahara and there is still no date set. "He again flees from parliamentary control and from the explanations that he must give on state policies in this House," he has indicated.
