“This is a sterile debate, a smokescreen.” This is how the Popular Party understands the proposal raised yesterday by Sumar so that in the Congress of Deputies it can intervene in co-official languages ??such as Catalan, Basque or Galician. Its Vice Secretary for Organization, Miguel Tellado, has been very forceful in this regard and has not hesitated to criticize that a reform of the regulations on this issue could “divide” society. “Languages ??are there to communicate, not to confront each other,” he stressed.
It was the second vice president, Yolanda Díaz, who insisted yesterday on recovering the same proposal that a little over a year ago was already rejected by the PSOE together with PP, Cs and Vox, as a commitment by Sumar to “advance towards a country that is plural” and “diverse”.
However, Tellado understands that the debate on the co-official languages ??”is not a real demand of the Spaniards nor is it something that worries the Spaniards” while, he has insisted “the main problem now is the governability of Spain”.
In this sense, the national leadership of the PP understands that the leader of the popular, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has the “obligation to avoid the political blockade of Spain and electoral repetition.” “The initiative corresponds to whoever has won the elections,” he stressed, while insisting on proposing as a “democratic anomaly” that the acting president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, intends to become president again “despite having lost the elections”.
The PP continues to be annoyed by the formula probed by the PSOE to reform regional financing and strongly rejects that it could be considered as an “à la carte” reform for Catalonia “in exchange for some gentlemen giving their support to Sánchez to continue being president of the Government (…) There cannot be first and second class Spaniards, depending on the dependence on seats that Sánchez needs,” he added.
After recalling that this system is not to finance territories but public services that benefit all citizens equally, he has censured that this could be an “element of negotiation in an alleged investiture.”
Tellado has also addressed Sánchez’s vacations in Morocco considering that they are a “full-fledged provocation” because “he should be in Spain” as acting president and leader of the party that has lost the elections to “make himself available” to the one who has cattle.
Along with this, he recalled that Sánchez “has not yet explained” the change in Spain’s position with respect to Morocco, nor the “personal involvement” that there may have been, both from him and from his family, when making that decision.
The popular leader has also said that going on vacation to Morocco when “the governability of Spain is in suspense” is to neglect his “basic obligations” as acting president and “a full-blown provocation.”
