Three months after betting from Barcelona to normalize relations with Catalan nationalism, Alberto Núñez Feijóo took another step yesterday to make his purpose impossible, since he considered that in the protests against the Supreme Court ruling to the leaders of the process that spread across Catalonia in 2019 there was "pure terror and fascism".
"What is clear is that what happened in Catalonia is pure terror and it is pure fascism, because people could not go out into the streets, because people could not take the train, could not take any plane, could not take the car , because people were afraid and did not leave the house", defended the president of the PP yesterday in an interview with Antena 3, in which he also defended the Spanish judicial system against the "totality amendment" which, in his opinion seat, the partners of the Central Government raised to the judges in the debate on the Amnesty law on Tuesday.
He did not mention the head of the court of inquiry 6 of the National Court, but he did not need to. "Terrorism is terror". "And in Catalonia there were moments, days, of absolute terror", he pointed out to support Manuel García-Castellón's theses in the Democratic Tsunami case in which Carles Puigdemont and Marta Rovira are being investigated for terrorism. Now "it is up to the judges to typify this type of act and this type of conduct", warned Feijóo, who traveled to Brussels in the afternoon to denounce the amnesty today in front of his co-religionists of the European People's Party.
An amnesty that, despite the step back made on Tuesday, Feijóo predicted that he will go ahead because he remembered that the opinion had been approved and "there is one month left to accept more amendments". According to the president of the PP, the president of the central government, Pedro Sánchez, is being "constantly humiliated", has "lost control" and is on "assisted breathing" in a legislature that "depends on what Puigdemont says".
In this sense, Feijóo implied that what happened in Congress on Tuesday so that the PSOE did not accept Junts' amendments is that the Minister of Justice, Félix Bolaños, had a "very important" meeting with the European Commissioner for Justice yesterday , Didier Reynders, to unlock the renewal of the CGPJ, and according to him "I could not come with an even more obscene text to the meeting". "They couldn't go there with a project like Junts proposed", he said.
On the contrary, the popular leader was convinced that the Amnesty law as it is written right now "does not pass the European filter", alluding to a possible prejudicial question to be raised at the Court of Justice of the EU . Feijóo also assured that "at this moment Europe is wondering if Spain is Hungary or the old Poland".
