The PP is against the use of all co-official languages in the autonomous communities, in Congress, although it has not rebelled against it, but what is not going to happen is because the president of the Chamber, Francina Armengol, applies the reform of the Regulation so that those languages can be used starting Tuesday, before the law is approved and published, because that "is outside the law."
For this reason, he has presented a "reconsideration letter" to the Congress Board, so that the use of languages is not applied in next week's debate, precisely on the possibility of using them, which in his opinion, As long as this appeal for reconsideration is not resolved, the use of languages should not be applied, since studying it by the Board later would mean going against the appeal itself.
The general secretary of the PP and spokesperson for the Popular Group, Cuca Gamarra, warned Francina Armengol this Tuesday that "she cannot pay for her position as president in Congress by committing an illegality," especially since she is now the third authority in the state. .
In a press conference after the Board of Spokespersons, the number two of the PP stressed that "Bad start to the legislature" said Gamarra, when the first initiative that is going to be debated "is not going to be done based on consensus" and is produced " something never seen before", which is "applying a law when it still has to be processed, approved and published", which in the opinion of the PP is not only "curling the loop" but is "placing itself outside the principle of legality, which would have must be respected by the third authority of the State".
For the PP, "trying to apply what the reform wants to reform is at least something that is outside the current legality, because if it has not come into force it cannot be applied." This, Gamarra stressed, "in a democracy it is not possible and it is not democratic," while inviting everyone to try to ensure that something similar has been done in any parliament in the world, that a law be applied before being approved.
On the basis of the discussion, which is the use of co-official regional languages, Gamarra stressed that for the PP "all languages are an instrument for understanding" and for the popular ones "they are our cultural heritage and enriches us all." The PP believes that they must be protected, but that "the constitutional reality is that the official language throughout Spanish territory is Spanish, and co-official status is territorial."
The number two of the PP stressed that they are not opposed to promoting and protecting all of Spain's languages, "but without wanting to move towards plurinationality and establishing co-official status throughout the territory of the languages that are only co-official in their autonomies, according to its statutes."
The PP also announced the two motions that will be presented, for vote, in all regional parliaments and city councils, so that the socialists have to speak out. There are two motions, one to clearly say whether you are for or against the amnesty, and another about whether you want equality for Spaniards or not.
The motions that will be put to the vote say that the institution where it is debated: "We reject any type of general amnesty or pardon, not individualized for any Spanish citizen whatever their crime." That considers that "the rule of law is the expression of the popular will as established in the preamble of the Constitution and commits all powers to its compliance."
Furthermore, they encourage "the two majority parties to seek State agreements that prevent Spanish society from being subjected to the blackmail of the independentists or doomed to a repeat election."
The second of the motions, in defense of equality among Spaniards, rejects "any project that tries to break equality or recognize privileges for citizens or territories in any part of Spain and that violates the provisions of the Spanish Constitution," it proposes. "a great national agreement that faces the main challenges we have: institutional regeneration, the Welfare State, the foundations of our economy, a pact for families, a pact for water and a territorial pact" and urges the Government "to that proposes an Autonomous financing model that guarantees the principles of equality and solidarity and that is the result of the agreement between all", while rejecting "any unilateral privilege outside the agreement between all the Autonomous Communities", thus collecting the principles with those that Alberto Núñez Feijóo will present at his investiture debate.
“The PP does not understand Spain, and it is reciprocal, because Spain does not understand the PP either,” said the acting Minister of the Presidency, Félix Bolaños, in response to Feijóo's offensive against the amnesty. The Government defends the legality of pardons and their usefulness in closing "wounds" in Catalonia.
These motions will begin to be debated in regional parliaments and city councils next week. Just yesterday, the spokesperson for the Popular Group in Barcelona City Council, Daniel Sirera, announced that he will present the motions.
In a press conference held with the deputy secretary of organization of the PP, Sirera acknowledged that he had been the one who had contacts with Junts to explore the investiture, as La Vanguardia reported, but that they were "informal contacts, without a mandate from Feijóo," reports Julio Hurtado.
