The Minister of Territorial Policy and Democratic Memory, Ángel Víctor Torres, has sent a letter to the president of Les Corts, Llanos Massó, to inform the parliamentary groups of the report prepared by United Nations rapporteurs on the future Concordia law that processes the Valencian Hemicycle. In his letter, the representative of the Government of Spain warns of the need to “guarantee strict respect for international human rights standards regarding the preservation of the historical memory of serious violations of human rights.”
A comment that the recipient of the letter did not like at all, who described its content as “interference” and “blackmail.” “It is unheard of for a minister to blackmail the presidency of the regional legislature by insinuating that international law is being breached.” “What is it that this national executive addresses a legislature” about the processing of a law?, the Vox leader and second institutional authority of the Valencian Community has asked.
Massó has taken advantage of his appearance before the media, the second he has made in recent days to show his political position, to reject the "legitimacy of the rapporteurs" who authored the report and has tried to emphasize that "it is not a UN report" but a “report from some supposed rapporteurs who work at the UN.” He has made it clear that he will not convey the content of the report to the groups, as the socialist minister demanded, and that he does not intend to respond either.
And Massó has defended the law proposed by PP and Vox and, when asked by journalists, he preferred not to refer to Franco's regime as a dictatorship but as "a totalitarian regime in which there were no freedoms, like so many others in other countries of the world".
Asked about the letter, the president of the Generalitat, Carlos Mazón, regretted that the government does not worry about other issues such as the financing of the Dependency Law and that it dedicates itself to searching for “stories” to see “if they call us fascists.” others".
For her part, in the press conference after the plenary session of the Valencian government, the second vice president of the Consell, Susana Camarero, who acted as spokesperson for the executive, assured that the "strategy" of the Government of Spain in recent days is to "make opposition ” to the autonomous communities “instead of dedicating themselves to what is important.”
