The acting Minister of Defense, Margarita Robles, was very indignant this Friday with the boos and insults that were uttered yesterday at the beginning and end of the military parade on the Twelfth of October against the acting President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, and reproached to PP and Vox, without mentioning them, not to criticize these acts that, in their opinion, represent a lack of respect for the King, the armed forces and all Spaniards.
The head of Defense, the minister most valued by the right, was irritated not so much by the recipient of the whistles and expletives, the head of the Executive, but by the choice of the place where they took place, given that, in her opinion, In the military parade, only the armed forces and all Spaniards should have a leading role. “The rest of us don’t have to have any role,” she added.
“Whoever is going to whistle there is a lack of education and a lack of respect for whoever is presiding over the act, which is His Majesty the King, for the armed forces and for all Spanish citizens,” warned Robles, for whom “if someone wants to do political criticism, there are other places for it, not taking advantage of a parade of the armed forces.
Asked about the chant “let Txapote vote for you,” Robles, who attended the press at the Retamares Base in Pozuelo (Madrid) during her visit to the Operations Command, indicated that not only those who whistle or insult must be disqualified, but who claimed to feel “deep pain” because some political forces have not been able to criticize him. “It seems very serious to me that those who are in the opposition at this moment are incapable of criticizing the lack of respect that occurred yesterday not to the institution of the presidency of the government but to the organizers of the October 12th parade,” he said. she.
The minister was convinced that Spanish citizens reject this type of insults and claimed “pride for the armed forces that paraded yesterday, for Spaniards in general who want coexistence and tolerance.” “The rest,” she said, “are people without any education, who do not favor coexistence and who disqualify themselves and luckily do not represent Spain.”
And he warned about political forces that “have a certain tolerance for those who make expressions” like these because “they are doing a disservice to Spain.” “Don’t wrap yourself in the flag of Spain,” Robles warned them. “It is very serious that there are political forces that, by action or omission, do not criticize the lack of institutional respect that occurred yesterday,” he insisted.
