When the PP said that it would use all the resources at its disposal to stop the amnesty law, it was referring to everyone, and among them, a campaign in Europe to defend its positions contrary to the measure of grace, which does not happen only through letters sent to the ambassadors of the 27 countries of the Union, as was done on Monday, but also by their societies, so that they know "what is happening in Spain."
With this intention, the president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, held a meeting this Tuesday with thirty foreign correspondents in Spain to analyze the impact of the Amnesty Law and the Spanish and European political context after Sánchez's agreement with the independentists. for his investiture.
Sources from the PP justified this exercise of explanation with journalists, because "it is important that the undermining of the Constitution, the submission of justice to the interests of politicians, the forgiveness of crimes of corruption and the forgetting of crimes of terrorism to those involved in the process is known and present in international politics".
In front of foreign journalists, according to PP sources, Feijóo regretted that the text "destroys" the legal security of a Member State of the European Union and recalled that the "deterioration of democracy in Spain implies the deterioration of European democracy." since the text of the law implies that "politicians amnesty other politicians."
For Feijóo, "the countries that attempted something similar in Europe had the express rejection of the community bodies," and that is why the PP will take a detailed analysis of the law to the European bodies, because if Europe does the same analysis as the PP, "Spain could join Romania, Poland and Hungary as a country singled out for the attack on its rule of law."
The president of the PP recalled, at the meeting, according to the same sources, that the majority of Spanish jurists consider, just as the PSOE did three months ago, that the Amnesty Law is unconstitutional, and he regretted that a parliamentary initiative like this may assume that "amnesty for crimes may provide an incentive to commit them."
For his part, the deputy secretary of institutional policy of the PP, Esteban González Pons, who accompanied Feijóo in this meeting, with foreign correspondents, recalled that by "amnesty" conduct that was never a crime the PSOE "opens the way for lawfare" , in addition to considering that it opens a "future amnesty", which the text includes, because it "forgives crimes not yet committed" that can be related at a legal level to the events that took place in the process.
For González Pons, by cutting off judicial investigations, it is also prevented from analyzing the extent of the economic damage suffered by the European Union, which is why the PP will ask the institutions to ensure that the law is complied with in all member states. The deputy secretary of the PP announced to foreign journalists that on Thursday there will be a "conference of presidents (spokespersons board)" in the European Parliament to include a debate on the rule of law in Spain on the agenda of the next plenary session. In this debate, both Carles Puigdemont and the Government will take the floor for holding the current Presidency of the EU.
The president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, expressed at the meeting his confidence that the control mechanisms of the European Union work, and regretted that with the approval of the law agreed by the socialists with the independentists, Carles Puigdemont has gone from have an arrest warrant to the Police, instead of arresting you, escorting you.
The PP gave foreign correspondents a dossier with the public positions of almost a hundred associations and groups against the agreement between the PSOE and the independentists. A 126-page document that includes the social and institutional rejection of a law "designed to benefit a single person: Pedro Sánchez," says the PP.
