With the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, on an official trip to the Middle East, the control session in the Senate has focused on the vice presidents Teresa Ribera and Yolanda Díaz and the ministers José Manuel Albares, Félix Bolaños, Luis Planas, Ángel Víctor Torres , Elma Saiz and José Luis Escrivá, who have responded to the questions of the PP senators, who have tried to focus the debate on the Koldo case, although in a less tense atmosphere than on the last occasion.
The PP spokesperson, Alicia García, has been involved in a dialectical clash with the vice president and Minister of Labor, Yolanda Díaz, whom she has accused of being the “guarantor” of a government that “covers up corruption” in order to “continue living.” of the public.” In her response, the leader of Sumar has presented “ten data”, such as the increase in the interprofessional minimum wage (SMI), which, in her opinion, show her good management and has announced that the Spaniards “will know how to choose.” at the polls.
In the same way, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares, has replied to the Melilla senator from the PP, Isabel Moreno Mohamed, that a State policy requires loyalty and his question about Morocco, a neighboring country with which the The Government has recovered good relations, he insisted, after the Perejil episode, which characterized the neighborhood, he recalled, during the government of José María Aznar.
For the PP, this Tuesday has been a somewhat weak session not only due to the absence of Sánchez, but also because the members of the Government have avoided some of the questions related to the Koldo case, the main workhorse of the opposition, along with the processing of the Amnesty law, in their attrition offensive against the Executive.
In this sense, the popular group has regretted that up to three questions formulated in a timely manner have fallen from the agenda, specifically, one about “the leak of confidential personal data to certain media outlets”, another about “the total absence of controls in public procurement” in an emergency situation and a last, more transparent one, on “if the Government had any knowledge of the ramifications of the so-called Koldo plot in various sectors”.
Sources from the PP have indicated that the Executive is “in panic” when seeing that Koldo García “begins to pull the blanket”, in reference to the information and interviews that have been appearing recently, and they have accused him of being “scared” in the Senate by not wanting to answer, as they have reported, the announced questions, for which the questioned ministers have alleged agenda problems.
Although the PSOE maintains that the questions have only been postponed and will be answered in the next control session, and this has been notified to the popular group, for the PP, it is “an outrageous decision that clearly shows what the attitude of Sánchez and his circle regarding the plot that threatens him”. And, in this sense, the popular senator Francisco Bernabé has starred in a scuffle with Minister Bolaños in which he has spoken of the “pestilence” of the Koldo case and has pointed to Sánchez as the most responsible.
At the same time, the PP senator has put the president’s wife, Begoña Gómez, in the spotlight for rescuing Air Europa, an airline company with which she supposedly had professional ties as manager of a business chair.”What words “So miserable! Trying to muddy respectable people!” Bolaños responded.
