Rodriguez criticizes Feijóo's “moral turpitude” and accuses him of going beyond the extreme right
The Minister of Housing and Urban Agenda, Isabel Rodríguez, criticized the “moral turpitude” of the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, and his “irresponsibility” in using an issue like immigration to “seek a social revolt, in positions that” They have defeated the extreme right.
This is how Rodríguez responded this Tuesday to questions from journalists at a press conference in Toledo about the message that Feijóo published on the social network “to irregular migration during his tour of Africa and to “promote Spain as a destination” instead of going to the continent to “fight the mafias.”
The minister recalled that Feijóo “entered politics saying he was going to be a moderate man”, that he was going to bring “meaning” to Spanish politics and that he was not going to do politics “with a tweet”. However, he believes that his message “demonstrates a moral turpitude” that, according to him, the leader of a party like the PP cannot allow.
“I am sure that this tweet is not shared by an immense majority of the militants of the Popular Party, nor by Spanish society,” which she said was “well above this baseness, this irresponsibility in using a subject like immigration to seek a social revolt, in positions that go beyond the extreme right.
“It is extremely inhumane” to use this case to play politics, continued Rodríguez, who hopes that “at this moment he repents” and, “following his words, deletes his account so as not to commit such irresponsibility again” like the one he just committed, according to him, “using people's pain.”
“Migration can never lose its human perspective. They are people moved by the pain of wars, of hunger (…) They are human beings like us and this humanist perspective must never be lost in the parties that consider themselves democratic,” said the minister. In this sense, he defended the need to address the problem “from a human, security and orderly perspective.”
“A human perspective on which we must also work at European level, as Spain is doing, with this pact on migration and asylum. A perspective of management of migration policy that involves the cooperation of countries of origin and transit, as the President of the Government is doing this morning,” he added.
Rodríguez also asked: “What is the immigration policy that the PP defends? Is it one of hatred, racism, xenophobia? Has it surpassed Vox? That is the question that Feijóo must answer,” he concluded. (EFE)
