The more than 3,000 mayors of the PP mobilized on Saturday to denounce what they understand to be “a true exercise of moral corruption” on the part of Pedro Sánchez, because, they say, there is no such thing as good terrorism, terrorism is terrorism, it always violates the human rights and in democracy is persecuted.
The mayors and mayoresses of the Popular Party signed, in several events called throughout Spain, a manifesto against the “breakdown of equality”, an initiative that is part of the protests promoted by this formation against the policy of the Government of Sánchez in several areas, including the Amnesty law.
“We demand that there is no ‘good terrorism’ and that every terrorist act be investigated and condemned”, underlines the text, in which they reject the amnesty law and point out their “desolation” in view of the agreements of the PSOE with their partners who, according to the PP, decriminalize “crimes of embezzlement, against territorial integrity and even terrorism”.
The document, which the PP will also read in its rally this morning in Madrid’s Plaza de España, maintains that amnesty for acts of terrorism is opposed to the “non-negotiable values ??in any modern democratic State, and also to those that form the European union”.
The secretary general of the Popular Party, Cuca Gamarra, intervened in the event with mayors of the PP of La Rioja and the mayor of Logronyo, Conrado Escobar, read the manifesto.
Gamarra defined the Amnesty law as “an exercise in moral corruption” by the President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, to maintain “the rental of Moncloa”, where “he will live as long as Carles Puigdemont and Arnaldo Otegi want”.
“In a democratic State no one is more than anyone else, the law must be for everyone and the rulers must defend the general interest, but we have a Government that has decided to deliver all this to those who reject our framework of common coexistence and they believe they are above others”, so that “he has handed the keys to Moncloa to exclusionary separatists and supremacists”.
According to the general secretary of the PP, “Sánchez has broken all moral and ethical boundaries and every day he crosses a red line”, and “he goes further when he says that there is low-intensity terrorism, good terrorism” in a ” true exercise of moral corruption, because terrorism is terrorism and in a democracy it is persecuted”.
Among others, the mayor of the city, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, and the Deputy Secretary of Culture and spokesman for the PP, Borja Sémper, for whom “Spain does not deserve a Government that lies and dismantles institutionality, dignity and the rule of law, and makes us all Spaniards look like fools, all to continue one more day in Moncloa”.
“It is clear that what we experienced in Barcelona is violence, it is clear that it is punishable and it is clear that they do not deserve amnesty or forgiveness. They deserve to face justice, like anyone, even if they are pro-independence, and even if Sánchez needs them to continue for another week in Moncloa”, he maintained.
The Madrid mayor, for his part, pointed out that “terrorism is always bad, it always violates human rights and it cannot be the excuse for Sánchez to continue as president of the Spanish Government”, and added that his party will put all the necessary means, both at the institutional level and on the street, to denounce what the Executive is doing.
The mayors of the eight Andalusian provinces also supported this call. In Huelva, the president of the committee of mayors of the PP, José María Pérez, criticized that the Spanish Government no longer places the general interest above everything.
In Málaga, the deputy secretary of autonomous and local coordination of the PP, Elías Bendodo, participated, who affirmed that with this act the popular mayors say “clearly and clearly” that they are against amnesty and that they defend “the freedom and equality of all the Spaniards”.
Bendodo believes that the President of the Spanish Government could end up granting amnesty to terrorists with blood crimes. “Is any Spaniard able to say that Sánchez will not cross that red line? I wouldn’t dare”.
In Murcia, the general secretary of the PP in Murcia and mayor of San Javier, José Miguel Luengo, pointed out that Sánchez “has become a tightrope walker”, while from Castile and León, the mayor of Burgos, Cristina Ayala , he replied that “a law cannot be drafted at the behest of criminals who have staged a coup d’état”.
The popular president of the province of Valencia, Vicent Mompó, stated that the acts of repugnance against the Amnesty law held yesterday defend “that public services and the equality of Spaniards before the law cannot be a currency to shield the presidency of Sánchez”.
Finally, the president of Melilla and of the regional PP, Juan José Imbroda, asked himself what will happen to Spain if Sánchez endures four years, because, he assured, to reach the end of the legislature, “he has to destroy Spain”.
