The president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has reproached the president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, for sending Spanish troops to the Red Sea without informing Parliament, which, in his opinion, means “ignoring the institutions” and “ignoring the procedures democratic.”
In a message on the social network Red Sea after recent attacks by Yemeni Houthi militias.
However, Feijóo regretted that he did it “again” “without informing Parliament, ignoring the institutions and ignoring democratic procedures.”
Spain will participate in this operation along with nine other countries: the United States, the United Kingdom, Bahrain, Canada, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway and the Seychelles, as reported by the Reuters agency last night. However, the department headed by Margarita Robles explained this Tuesday that participation in the mission is subject to decisions of the EU and NATO and, consequently, Spain, “unilaterally”, will not be involved in this area.
Feijóo’s reproach to Sánchez comes at a time when the Government is putting pressure on the PP to hold a meeting between the head of the Executive and the popular president before the end of the year. While from Moncloa three dates have been given for this meeting in accordance with Sánchez’s agenda (next Friday and Thursday the 28th are left), from Genoa it is required to know the issues beforehand in order to be able to work on them beforehand.
In this sense, the PP spokesperson, Borja Sémper, has not ruled out that the meeting will finally take place before the end of the year but has reiterated the request to know the issues to be discussed. “Everything is possible,” Sémper answered in an interview on TVE, although he indicated that the date “is the least important, it is secondary” to emphasize that
more important is “about what.” “Spain needs us to talk in depth, not through the media but through a serious institutional relationship,” claimed Sémper. “We ask the cabinet to specify the issues to be discussed,” the popular spokesperson insisted.
