Whether there is an investiture or not, the PP makes a new call for mobilization, the final, although not the last, against the amnesty. The date is Sunday, November 12, "in all the squares of the capitals of Spain". That is to say, this time the protest will not be in Madrid or Malaga or Toledo or Valencia, like last Sunday, but the call is open to all cities.
The PP aims to mobilize a social response in the streets, while at the same time planting a legal battle in the courts. For the populists, next Sunday's protest aims to become "the constitutional refuge of Spain, in the face of those who are renouncing their dignity".
Alberto Núñez Feijóo, who yesterday addressed the national executive board of the PP, wants to lead the pulse against the amnesty. Sources from the party assure that there is a feeling of "frustration and indignation" among the citizens and they are betting that the PP will channel it, after Vox gathered 100,000 people two weeks ago in Plaza Colón.
That's why Feijóo assured that the law of criminal oblivion is the "biggest attack on the rule of law, on the equality of Spaniards and on the institutions" that "Sánchez and his partners" are perpetrating.
Feijóo stayed here, but other popular leaders such as Jorge Azcón, president of Aragon, went further: "In the history of democracy, in Spain, we had never suffered an attack like the one we are currently suffering . It is true that there have been more attacks. There was one on 23-F, and on October 1, 2017. The big difference is that now it is the PSOE that is supporting the pro-independence partners so that those attacks are consumed".
So, the PP is preparing rallies all over Spain to make it clear to the acting president "that they will not silence us, even if they want to silence us". In addition, Sunday's rallies will serve the popular people to differentiate themselves from the "spontaneous rallies" that have proliferated in recent days in Madrid in front of the PSOE headquarters, on Carrer Ferraz.
With these proposals, Feijóo also wants to give an answer to all the people who, according to him, approach him and ask him "what will you do to stop Sánchez and his amnesty?". The popular president reiterated it yesterday: "The PP will do it, he said, "with all the resources and before all the authorities".
"No matter how much we are caught, we will continue. They will not silence us, they will not stop us, we continue to work in the streets, in the town halls and autonomous communities, wherever we are in the government and wherever we are in the opposition". He also referred to the Senate, where they have an absolute majority and have already urged reform of the regulations to delay the application of the amnesty as much as possible. Feijóo assured that it is the way of the PP to say yes to the equality of all Spaniards.
Apart from next Sunday's mobilization, the Popular also assure that they will be present at the November 18 demonstration in Madrid, called by several civil society organizations. Núñez Feijóo will be in charge and without fear of agreeing with Vox, who has already expressed his desire to go there.
In his speech, the president of the PP dedicated a few words to the Catalans, whom he promised he would defend. "They are being used by pro-independence and by the Spanish Government, as shields for their excesses", he said. For Feijoó there are clear claims: "The attempt to empty the State", on the part of the independentists, and "getting the necessary votes for the investiture on the part of the socialists".
Of course, the leader of the PP warned not to "confuse independenceists with Catalonia", because "neither the independenceists can speak on behalf of all of Catalonia" nor Sánchez "on behalf of Spain".
The popular leader addressed the Catalans to tell them that "they will not be alone", because "the PP will be there to give them a voice" and assured them that "they will not succeed in erasing Spain from Catalonia, no matter how much they agree". because "the PP will be there and we will not let them take us out of Catalonia".
