Alberto Núñez Feijóo starts the new session strong. The political situation requires it, and the PP is willing to use its absolute majority in the Senate, and its minority majority in Congress, to confront “the concessions” of Pedro Sánchez to the independentistas. In the upper house, where the popular have an absolute majority, increasing the monthly plenary sessions from two to three, in order to give greater control to the Government, and from the political point of view, with Sánchez’s marking that leads him, For example, to ask the PSOE and Junts for explanations about their agreements.
In an intervention before the PP groups in Congress and the Senate, Alberto Núñez Feijóo demanded explanations from the PSOE and Junts, and ordered Santos Cerdán, secretary of organization of the PSOE and Jordi Turull, general secretary of Junts, to tomorrow, After the meeting they will hold in Congress, “give a joint press conference and explain the content and scope of the agreement signed last week.” Specifically, lex requires that you explain “what is meant by comprehensive transfer of immigration powers.”
The president of the PP also asks the Junts leader to make it clear tomorrow, after his meeting with Cerdán, “whether he is negotiating a self-determination referendum” and explain what the “colorín colorado” that Turull referred to in a radio interview consists of, assuring that if there was no referendum “colorín colorado to the legislature.” That’s why he wants to know what that expression means, and that of “checkmate the Government.”
Alberto Núñez Feijóo’s objective for the new period of sessions is that “the concessions to the independentists and the shameful acts do not remain like this.” And, according to the president of the PP, “no one can assure that there will not be a self-determination referendum; no one can assure that there will not be pardons for terrorists,” and no one can say that “they are closer to a photo Sánchez and Puigdemont, that there is a photo of Puigdemont giving accounts before the Supreme Court.”
The PP, Feijóo warned his people, “must be prepared for anything”, and the PP is, so that “we will not let any lies pass, so that citizens hear the truth”, furthermore, “no scandal will go unnoticed.” answer”. The popular leader asked his people to work even harder, if possible, because “with this Government we are not going anywhere.”
Alberto Núñez Feijóo plays his cards, and is going to use his majority in the Senate to put greater pressure on the Government. “We are not going to give the Government a break,” said Feijóo, and given that the PSOE “has handed Congress over to the minorities, and it has become a forum of instability and blackmail,” the PP will intensify its action in the Senate.
First of all, Feijóo announced that the Upper House will go from holding two plenary sessions a month to holding three. A way to intensify your control of the Government, either through questions, interpellations, or motions resulting from interpellation. This will not change the fact that Pedro Sánchez appears only once a month, but the rest of the ministers may be questioned.
It is about, said the president of the PP, “returning prominence to political life, counteracting the humiliation to which the government subjects Congress.” Furthermore, the Senate is willing to “request the mandatory reports” on the Government’s bills, when the Executive does not want to request them so that they are not overturned.
“We are not going to give the Government a rest, because it has abandoned the majorities” and the PP is not willing to let the Government “decide on all national policy”, with the support of the independentists. Feijóo is willing to use “all the instruments at his disposal of the rule of law”, because “Sánchez is deceiving everyone except Otegi and Puigdemont”, and the PP is not willing to “let Parliament remain in the hands” of those who want scrap the Constitution” and will work “in defense of a Spain of free and equal citizens that Pedro Sánchez wants to repeal.”
