The president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, will travel to Pamplona on Sunday to express his opposition to the motion of censure agreed by the socialists with Bildu, to evict UPN from the mayor's office and hand it over to the nationalist party, as announced by the popular leader this week. tomorrow in Brussels, where he traveled to participate in the meeting of leaders of the European People's Party (EPP), before the Council meeting.
The trip's objective, according to Núñez Feijóo, "is to ask the PSOE to abandon the miserable pact that it is about to close to give the mayor's office to a party that does not condemn the ETA attacks, that continues to exalt terrorism, and that does not collaborate with the judges to clarify the murders of the terrorist group that remain unpunished".
For the president of the PP, with this pact, which he considers the first payment for Bildu's support for Feijóo's investiture, "the president of the Government of my country has crossed a red line that no political leader had dared to cross before. ", as it is to give the mayorship of a city like the Navarrese capital "to a party that is the heir of a terrorist gang", something that, he assured, "I deeply regret."
Núñez Feijóo recalled that so that Bildu would not obtain mayorships or the leadership of other institutions, after the elections of May 28, the PP voted, for example in Vitoria in favor of the socialist candidate, so that Bildu would not obtain that mayorship, because It is considered "serious and something unprecedented in Spanish democracy to hand over the institutions to Bildu", which is why he considers that the PSOE pact with Bildu makes "the situation that Spanish democracy is experiencing unaffordable."
For Feijóo, the pact between the PSOE and Bildu is "the most miserable pact of all those signed by Sánchez in his political career, because he has colleagues murdered by ETA and he has agreed with a party that has included in its municipal and regional lists people convicted of "ETA". For the president of the PP "it is a red line that inaugurates the worst moment of Spanish democracy, which already includes the amnesty, the commissions to investigate judges, and this agreement to hand over Pamplona to the party that inherited the practices and ideology of a terrorist band", and in his opinion to say that it is because of the blockade of the City Council, as Pedro Sánchez has said, "is a big lie, another one."
ident of the PP, in addition to meeting with the leaders of the EPP parties, met bilaterally with the president of the Commission, Ursula Von der Layen and with the vice president, Vera Jourova, whom he informed, he said at a press conference in Brussels, the scope of the amnesty, the "secret conversations outside Europe and with a mediator" from Pedro Sánchez's party with Puigdemont's "and the attacks that the judges are suffering, with names and surnames, by the partners of Sánchez and the Government of Spain itself".
Feijóo assured that he sees European leaders as very concerned about the amnesty and the situation of the rule of law in Spain, because "they are verifying that Pedro Sánchez's only objective is to stay in power at any cost and at whatever price," as It has been seen, he said, with the concessions to the independentists, their pact "with the heirs of terrorism" or with "the unfortunate amnesty law."
Feijóo believes that Sánchez is trying to prevent the amnesty law from being studied in Europe, because he believes that it would not pass any examination, and that is why the PP will inform the European authorities, and the prime ministers who belong to the PP, of what it is, what it means, and above all, the differences with the amnesty that Portugal has granted, and with which the President of the Government wants to compare the Spanish one.
A comparison that does not hold up, he said, because it was granted "on the occasion of the Pope's visit," refers to "minor crimes committed by young Portuguese, and excluding the crimes that make up the Spanish amnesty: corruption, embezzlement and territorial integrity of Portugal". The similarity, in the opinion of the PP, must be made with the amnesty that was sought in Romania, which was opposed by the European Union, the Supreme Court of Romania and the Romanian citizens in the street.
This is what is happening in Spain, where citizens have taken to the streets, and we are awaiting the pronouncements of the Supreme Court, the Constitutional Court and the European Union." Because it will be approved by Congress "against the vote of the Senate ", and once it is in force, the PP will act, because it is convinced that the "Spanish jurisdiction will act" and the popular ones "will evaluate all the resources that can be presented before the Spanish and European courts to challenge it, and I have confidence in the two. "I'm convinced the courts will overturn it," he said.
Feijóo also assured that he has found the European leaders "surprised" by the way in which yesterday's plenary session went in the European Parliament and as "a European leader who also has the dual status of president of the Government and acting president of the Union can treat the president of the majority group like this" and his interest in "linking the EPP with the extreme right", which he considers something unprecedented. All with a speech that was "crass, rude, and an action unbecoming of a European president and a lack of respect for the European Parliament." In his opinion, he has shown "his true face, known in Spain and unknown in Europe."
Regarding the pending meeting of the leader of the PP and the president of the Government, Feijóo stressed that he is still waiting for La Moncloa to inform him in writing of the matters that Sánchez intends to discuss, to which he will later incorporate those he considers appropriate, after which can set a date for the meeting.
