PSPV and Compromís do not attend the screening in Les Corts of a video of the Hamas attacks

Deputies from the PP and Vox attended this Monday the screening in Les Corts of a video from the Israeli Embassy about the Hamas attacks on October 7, while the PSPV and Compromís did not attend, considering it a "propaganda act." done in an institution that represents everyone.

The president of Les Corts, Llanos Massó (Vox), last week authorized the request of the Israeli embassy to give a room to show a video to the members of the Table, the trustees of the groups and the spokespersons of the parliamentary commission of Human Rights, an initiative that was communicated to the groups by the protocol service.

The Ombudsman of Vox, José María Llanos, explained after attending the screening, in which they were not allowed to enter with mobile phones, that it was "47 minutes of a truly macabre show" that you have to know, where they have seen to terrorists boasting about massacring "women, the elderly and the young."

Llanos has indicated that he misses that the two opposition groups "did not want to be aware first-hand" of these events, and has considered that on this issue "neither the position of supporting the terrorists nor the position of supporting the terrorists can be maintained. a mellifluous or soft posture, without supporting either party.

"We have to support a democracy that respects human rights," stated the Vox Ombudsman, who pointed out that in the video "it has also been very clear" that the UN Agency for Palestine (UNRWA) "has among its employees credited to members of Hamas", and for this reason, he said, Les Corts and the Consell have proposed withdrawing aid of 400,000 euros.

The PP deputy Nieves Martínez has indicated that in the popular group "the doors are open" to whoever requests or invites them to participate in a meeting, because as representatives of the citizens they have to "listen to all sensitivities."

Sources from the socialist group have indicated that they have only received a call from Protocolo to invite them to this event, nothing in writing, and have accused the presidency of Les Corts of carrying out "secretly and obscurantism" what seems like "a propaganda act." that uses this institution politically.

From Compromís, deputy Isaura Navarro has indicated that Les Corts is not "a private cinema" to hold "private showings", and has assured that her group does not need to see "a propaganda video from Israel" to know that there has been "a despicable Hamas massacre", and what needs to be done is "build peace".
