One day after meeting with the European Commissioner for Justice, the president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, revealed that Didier Reydners promised to study very carefully the text of the possible amnesty approved by the Government to obtain the votes of the pro-independence supporters. investiture of Pedro Sánchez.
“Europe follows with great interest everything that happens in the member countries,” Feijóo stressed in an interview on the Sur Radio channel, and Commissioner Reydners is waiting for the text to see, said the popular leader, “how we innovate European law.” to explain that some politicians were given amnesty to get their votes in the investiture.
Feijóo criticized that this amnesty is also peculiar, “it is not a generic amnesty for people who have committed crimes and are neutral from the point of view of party interests, but it is in exchange for seven votes, which Sánchez needs for his inauguration and to be able to continue being president.”
The president of the PP considers that regardless of whether it is constitutional or not, “it is a top-level political scandal,” and it is worrying in Europe, especially “the erasure of the embezzlement of public funds,” a crime that the European Union “It is very sensitive,” because it closely monitors that the funds received from Europe are used correctly, which is why “it closely monitors cases of corruption.” Therefore, what Reydners will do, Feijóo said, is “examine that text of the amnesty law and see if it is against the basic principles of European law.
The president of the PP recalled that the European Union has already imposed sanctions of one million euros a day on Poland for violating the rule of law, and has frozen European funds, “and follows with interest what is happening in Spain.” According to Feijóo, the European Commissioner for Justice also monitors the fact that the Government has not modified the law on elections for members of the General Council of the Judiciary, so that judges are chosen by their judges, according to European approaches, and that On the contrary, he has “placed as a magistrate of the Constitutional Court a former attorney general of the State, appointed at the time by a PSOE Government, and has placed a former minister of his government and a general director, his advisor, as magistrates of the Constitutional”.
The president of the PP believes that it is feasible that there is a government, because “everything seems to indicate that Sánchez is willing to do everything that is asked of him, including erasing crimes against territorial integrity and the misappropriation of public funds.”
Regarding the PP’s contacts with Junts, Alberto Núñez Feijóo reiterated that he has not met with Carles Puigdemont, as Vice President Yolanda Díaz did, “the President of the Government knew it, and that what happened is that” Junts wanted to talk to us , that we had already said that we were not going to talk to Bildu, and that if Junts wanted to talk, we were willing.
However, Junts proposed an amnesty law “and we proposed that we were not going to do it, because it was against the Constitution, political ethics, and a massive deception of citizens. Feijóo made it clear that “I I have not met with Puigdemont; “I have not negotiated Puigdemont’s demands and I have not accepted being president of the Government at the cost of giving in to blackmail.”
