The PP is warming up to return to the streets against the amnesty. It will be on Sunday in Plaza España in Madrid, where the protest has been called. Meanwhile, yesterday Alberto Núñez Feijóo gathered a handful of mayors from the party with whom he shared his rejection of the “removal process” that in his opinion the PSOE has undertaken, in which the country “is left without a Constitution and enters the “at the mercy of certain political interests or certain partisan interests.”
Today in Congress the amendments that came alive from the debate in the presentation of the Amnesty law will be debated in the Justice commission, and predictably next Tuesday it will be debated in the plenary session of Congress if an agreement is reached between the allies of the investment. It will then go to the Senate, where processing will take two months.
Between today’s debate and next Tuesday, the PP wants to promote this mobilization that will have its climax on Sunday with the celebration of this demonstration.
Previously, the PP mayors will sign on Saturday a manifesto that Feijóo himself presented yesterday accompanied by a hundred mayors, which defends the “equality of Spaniards” and rejects the “privileges” that, in the opinion of the popular ones, Pedro Sánchez’s Executive grants to the independentists.
Feijóo exhibited with them the local power of the PP, which governs the municipalities in which more than 23 million Spaniards live in 3,000 municipalities throughout Spain. In the opinion of these councilors, Sánchez “despises the opposition, ignores the mayors, ignores the lawyers of Congress and points to the judges”, on a dangerous path, which, Feijóo proposed, “we democrats have to combat.”
Four months after the first major event of the PP in Madrid, when it brought together 60,000 people, Feijóo stated that with this manifesto the PP intends to “give a voice to those who do not have one,” and guarantee them that it will defend “the equality of Spaniards.” The popular leader wants to give a voice, he assures, “to the perplexed neighbors.”
Perplexed, Feijóo said, “by a legislature that has started in an absolutely surprising way,” from which it can be deduced that “the only law that will be passed without problems is the Amnesty law.
A legislature, according to Feijóo, with a Government “subject to continuous blackmail”, and as “those who exercise blackmail have seen that it has bowed – as happened with the approval of the first three decree laws that the Executive sent to Congress – they will continue to increase the blackmail.”
The president of the PP announced upon returning from the Christmas holidays a political, judicial and street offensive, within which the new mobilization in Madrid is part, “to denounce a dismissal process, which the PSOE with the independentistas is carrying out.” out”, and to which the PP will oppose, he said, “as the state party that it is.”
Feijóo spoke with the mayors of Huesca, Huelva, Zaragoza, Alcalá de Henares, Cartagena and Teruel about depopulation, mobility, public services and sexist violence, in what seemed like a response to the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, who hours before had warned of the “risk of real regression” of the feminist cause, as is being seen in established and consolidated democracies.
Although Sánchez did not refer to the PP in his speech, Feijóo responded by reminding him of the law of only yes is yes and stressed that “we must start talking seriously”, because many administrations governed by the PP adopt measures that other, presumably progressive, administrations , they do not carry out.
