The PP of Madrid has requested a secret vote for the two motions on the hypothetical amnesty that will be debated this Thursday in the Madrid Assembly, citing the need for deputies, mainly socialists, to have “privacy” to express their position. in two motions on amnesty.
This is how the popular spokesperson in the Regional Chamber of Vallecas, Carlos Díaz-Pache, justified it after the Board of Spokespersons: “In the PSOE they are betraying their own principles and there will be some who would like some privacy to vote,” he pointed out. encouraging a kind of transfuguism in the form of disobedience of party slogans.
This Thursday’s plenary session includes in its agenda the debate of two non-law proposals (PNL) registered by the popular ones. The first to “reject any type of amnesty or general pardon” and another, in which it rejects “any project that tries to break equality before the law or leave criminal acts unpunished.”
PP sources base their argument on the need for deputies to “dare to vote freely and not what is imposed on them.”
The proposal has been rejected outright by Más Madrid and the PSOE, who will present amendments to the motions to modify those formulated by the popular ones. According to the opposition leader, Mónica García, the PP is using a supposed amnesty as a “confrontation battering ram”, when the real problem is a “lack of coexistence” that has been present since 2017 with the Catalan independence referendum, the 1-O. “The PP is not concerned about real problems and is going to use it for polarization,” she said.
For his part, the leader of the Madrid socialists has expressed his intention to amend and has criticized that the formulation used by the PP is typical of “Junts and the Pujol model”, since they have changed the “Spain steals from us” to Catalonia steals from us “.
Vox spokesperson, Rocío Monasterio, however, has asked citizens to go to Barcelona on October 8 to the demonstration called by the Catalan Civil Society (SCC) under the motto “Not in my name.” Neither amnesty nor self-determination. “Our Constitution is being attacked and we cannot let our children grow up in a divided Spain, in a fragmented Spain and in which Spain’s enemies win,” she stated.
