The new Government spokesperson, Minister Pilar Alegría, has assured that she still does not know who the verifier is who must accompany the meetings with Junts agreed in the investiture agreement of Pedro Sánchez in which the PSOE committed to holding a first meeting before finish this month, which must be produced in Switzerland.
“I don’t know the name but when the content of the meetings is known I have no doubt that it will be known,” said the head of Education and Vocational Training in an interview on Hora de la 1, in which she highlighted that the PSOE is “a compliant party” and that “the meetings that were committed to with Junts will take place” although it has not specified when they will take place. The deadline to comply with what was agreed ends on Thursday.
For Alegría “the important thing is that the content of the meetings is known” and after remembering that the PSOE and the Government have already explained in recent days “with transparency” the investiture agreements, they will do the same when agreements are reached with Junts. “We have demonstrated transparency,” Alegría insisted to contrast the attitude of the PP which, according to him he regretted, “has not explained who, when or where they met or met with Junts or what they offered to the PNV.”
On the other hand, the minister has shown the Government’s full respect for the judges and their judicial independence after the Minister of Transport, Óscar Puente, pointed out that lawfare exists in Spain. “It’s like the meigas, there are some,” said Puente.
Furthermore, the minister has described as “tremendously positive” the agreement reached between the Government and the Junta of Andalusia, chaired by the popular Juanma Moreno Bonilla, for the conservation of the Doñana natural park and has recognized the effort of both administrations to understand each other. “Dialogue works and is the most powerful tool since after eight months of debate, we finally closed this agreement,” explained the minister, who welcomed this dialogue “which the Andalusians and all the people will enjoy.” citizens”.
In line with this, the minister has considered that it would be “desirable” that on the part of Alberto Núñez Feijóo “at this beginning of the legislature at some point we would meet with an opposition leader with the vocation to be able to reach agreements.” However, she has acknowledged that “the newspaper archive does not lead us to be very optimistic,” although she has expressed her desire that “we encounter a more constructive opposition.”
