Alberto Núñez Feijóo has anticipated where his intervention will take place in the debate that he will hold next Tuesday with Pedro Sánchez in the Senate and that, having seen what has been seen, he will avoid the ideological debate to focus on the first-person attacks on the President of the Government with the clear intention of delving into the attrition that the surveys reflect.
In this line, the president of the Popular Party understands that the leader of the Executive suffers from “humility” and is guilty of “arrogance”, and understands that this starting error is what is weighing down a country that “requires more planning and less improvisation “.
Feijóo has traveled this Friday to the Valencian Community, a key fiefdom that the popular hope to recover in the regional and municipal elections of May 2023. And his first act of the day has included participation in a meeting on Future challenges organized by the newspaper Las Provincias in Valencia in which he has relentlessly attacked the President of the Government whom he has been “seeing for too long resisting and showing very little interest in governing”.
The Galician believes that in the current situation it is necessary to unite the country and criticizes the fact that, on the contrary, the Executive is solely focused on “uniting its political allies to stay in government at any price.” “In times of difficulty, governing is very difficult and it is much easier to blame problems than to find solutions to problems,” he concluded.
Feijóo has also referred to the judicial paralysis, for which both the PSOE and the PP have given themselves one last chance to unblock, although he has insisted that his formation will not “validate” political profiles in the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) while He has defended reinforced majorities of three fifths to “depoliticize” the appointments and decisions made by this body to “deepen” into “greater objectivity.”
After ensuring that they can “reach an agreement” in the renewal of the Council, the popular leader has indicated that the PP agrees to maintain the “status quo” of the current system but with the commitment to “immediately modify the election to comply with the regulations European”.
The opposition leader, who on this occasion has not alluded to his demand that this commitment be in writing, has stressed that the PP presented and sent Moncloa a proposal on the reform of the Judiciary almost four months ago. “July, August, September have passed and they call us in October,” he complained.
“It doesn’t make any sense and we don’t give a message of judicial independence if the government appoints a minister who resigns in the morning and appoints him as attorney general in the afternoon,” he stressed, adding that it doesn’t make sense either that a minister who is “magistrate ” can be dismissed and “tomorrow return to his court” in the National Court or the Supreme Court. As he has insisted, it is about “regulating the revolving doors” for a “greater independence” of judges and magistrates.
That said, the leader of the opposition has stressed that he wants people to know that the PP believes in “judicial independence” and that “he does not want to appoint positions of the Popular Party in the General Council of the Judiciary.” “I’m not going to do it. If I have the chance, I’m never going to appoint a state attorney general minister, nor am I going to appoint him a member of the CGPJ, nor am I going to send him to a Supreme Court room, because if I’m not carrying something so elementary such as judicial independence, which is the guarantee of the rule of law”, he concluded.
Feijóo, who will be accompanied throughout the day by the president of the regional PP, Carlos Mazón, will also visit Castellón to meet with various businessmen from the region.
The popular aspire to recover both the Valencia City Council, in the hands of Joan Ribó, and the regional Executive chaired by Ximo Puig, as well as other important urban centers. And that is why Genoa is already working on the possibility of holding a Convention in the Valencian community at the beginning of 2023 to put the entire party in electoral mode and kick off the pre-election campaign.
