The leader of the Popular Party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, accused the government of Pedro Sánchez this Sunday of delaying the publication in the Official Gazette (BOE) of the amnesty law. that the plenary of Congress approved four days ago out of “fear of the consequences” of a rule that, as he has said, is “illegal.” Moreover, he is convinced that the European Union will stop this rule and “will not let this outrage pass by.”
“President Von der Leyen said it yesterday and I can assure you that Europe will be on the side of equality and the rule of law, and if not, at the same time. We will clearly see that the European Commission in Spain will not be bought with seven votes,” Feijóo declared at a meeting in Zaragoza before 1,500 people, according to PP sources.
Feijóo has emphasized that, after the amnesty is approved by Congress, independence supporters are “asking for a referendum.” “But wasn't this already the end of the process? Why are they asking for a referendum now? And if there is so much reconciliation involved, why don't they publish it in the Government Gazette to achieve reconciliation as quickly as possible?” he exclaimed.
The PP leader has said that the government is not publishing it because “they are afraid of the consequences of that law, because it is illegal.” 'That's why they don't publish it and wait until later. Well, this is the triumph of the worst policy,” he indicated.
The amnesty bill is expected to be published in the BOE in the coming daysHowever, it is necessary that the Gazette of the Cortes does this first, which usually takes about a week to publish the rules. According to EFE, this is the usual procedure. The law must also be ratified by King Felipe VI, who has 15 days to do so, according to Article 91 of the Constitution.
At this point, already a week before the elections, he has said that they cannot “swallow the biggest act of political corruption” that “they have experienced in 46 years of democracy” since, in his opinion, “the amnesty” is impunity in exchange for power.”
“Amnesty for its partners” and “cover” the “corruption”
At the event, which was also attended by the president of the PP of Aragon, Jorge Azcón, and the city's mayor, Natalia Chueca, Feijóo alluded to the 'Koldo case' and the investigation into Pedro Sánchez's wife, Begoña Gómez , Despite The Guardia Civil has ruled out evidence of crime. “There is no precedent for an investigation into the Moncloa Palace like the one being conducted by the court,” he stated.
The leader of the PP has stated that the actions of Sánchez's wife, “whether they are legal or not”, she has no “pass” because “it is neither ethical” nor “aesthetic”. “It tarnishes the institution of the Spanish people, namely the presidency of the government, and consequently the answer at the polls is that we will not swallow it,” he warned.
After stating that “Spain is today at the focal point of Europe and the world because of the shadows of corruption that affect the President, his government and his party,” Feijóo has encouraged citizens to vote this Sunday at the European elections and the message that they do not support “these corruptions”, as they believe the other parties do.
Moreover, he has criticized the government for only focusing on the amnesty law and forgetting the problems of the Spanish people. “Poverty is increasing, the price of housing continues to rise, insecurity is growing and Sánchez is only concerned with corruption: granting amnesty to his partners and covering up his own,” he stated.
“Hungry to win clearly and powerfully”
Feijóo has said he has been able to verify that there is “excitement” and “hunger to win clearly and decisively” in Aragon ahead of the European elections. In his opinion, “it's not just about getting a handful of extra votes, it's about the Spanish people knowing that there is an alternative” and “another way to do politics.”
For example, he has stated that what they do in the autonomous communities where the PP rules, they can also do within the central government. “If there are 14 autonomous communities of the PP, representing 70% of the Spanish population, we can make it the government of the nation to unite again, to work again, to unite again and to be honest and decent again are,” he claimed.
At this point, Feijóo has demanded to unite the voices in the PP to guarantee change and to “give a lesson” to those who “lied.” As he has said, the vote for the PP alone represents “the punishment Sánchez deserves” and brings them closer “to the government Spain needs.” “For initiating change, for freedom, for equality. Let us vote with conscience, dignity and responsibility,” he concluded.
