Yesterday, the PP asked the PSOE to withdraw the amnesty law after failing to pass the Congress vote. It would be the way, according to the PP, to put an end to the “humiliation” to which the independentists “have subjected the Government”, according to the spokesperson of the PP, Miguel Tellado.
On the contrary, if the law goes ahead after passing through the Justice committee again, the PP will appeal it before the courts “with all the legal instruments at our disposal”, said Alberto Núñez Feijóo in his speech in the tribune of the congress
The leader of the PP will ask for “protection from the European Union”, and when he arrives in the Senate “we will give a voice to all those who have tried to silence and we will democratically rescue our country from the moral misery to which they are condemning it”. Feijóo unleashed a harsh speech against Pedro Sánchez for allowing the Spanish Government to undergo “constant humiliation”.
Of course, the PP was concerned, after the parliamentary defeat, to emphasize that the rejection of the law is not because the Government has rectified it. According to Tellado, “the PSOE has not been planted, the PSOE has been planted”.
For Feijóo, it has been proven that the law is not a matter of “generosity and coexistence”, but that it is “a payment” to independence, which demands more when it wants. “He has taken a lick from Sánchez – he said – and she has decided to be a hostage”.
Feijóo insisted that the Amnesty law “is infamous from minute one”. “It has become a grosser obscenity until it ends up being a Russian matryoshka”, an expression with which he wanted to allude to the connections of independence with Russia that a judge in Barcelona is investigating.
A bad law, according to the president of the PP, with which in recent weeks they have tried to “stop successive traps” to prevent judges from doing their job believing “that the legislative power has no limits”, because he considers that ” this is not a right state”.
Feijóo criticized Sánchez for his changes of opinion and those of the PSOE, now stating that “there is light terrorism, which is not that bad either”, but warned him that “there is no form of terrorism that does not violate the human rights”.
He reminded Sánchez that he previously stated that what happened in Catalonia in 2017 was not an act of sedition, “but a rebellion; that the amnesty was clearly unconstitutional; that the police had suffered unforgivable violence, that constitutionalist Catalans could not be left alone, and that Junts was the xenophobic right”.
Picking up the words that the Prime Minister said in an interview with La Vanguardia on Sunday, Feijóo asked himself “at what point in the fathosphere was Mr. Sánchez then?”.
Feijóo’s conclusion is that “history will not pardon you”. The reality, according to Feijóo, is that “they keep the office thanks to ex-president Puigdemont. His salary and his office are owed to him when he had promised to bring Puigdemont to justice.”
He also reproached him for hearing Junts spokeswoman, Miriam Nogueras, say without change, “that there is judicial repression, that the judicial leadership is corrupt, that there are prevaricating judges”.
Feijóo also questioned Bildu’s spokesperson for reprimanding him for giving lessons on what is and is not terrorism, and asked him if “they are good for what they intend”, which, in his opinion, is “having a good precedent for the convictions that you intend to amnesty”, with reference to the ETA terrorists.
He also questioned Nogueras, to whom he asked if “they are giving up on declaring independence again or is Mrs. Laura Borràs right and they are not giving up going to independence through the unilateral route”.
