The report by the lawyers of the Congressional Justice Commission, which, contrary to the report of the general secretary of the Lower House, questions the constitutionality of the law, has led the general secretary of the PP, Cuca Gamarra, to ask the PSOE to “give up something that has been objected to” by congressional experts.
The PP is left with the report of the lawyers of the Justice Commission, which emphasizes that the way to face the amnesty would be through a constitutional reform, although it denounces that it is a text signed by the lawyers on the 10th and that it was not delivered to the groups until six days later, once the deadline for tabling amendments has expired, when these reports are supposed to be made so that they can be used by Members to present amendments.
In fact, they emphasize in the PP, the report points out technical issues, to be corrected, and that will remain uncorrected because the groups were unaware of the report. A situation for which Cuca Gamarra holds the president of Congress, Francina Armengol, responsible.
For the spokesperson of the Popular Group, Miguel Tellado, “the report is devastating” regarding the constitutionality of the law, which in the opinion of the PP makes the amnesty law “a political immorality” that the PSOE is committing. However, the PP does not believe that the irregularity in the delivery of the report is not susceptible to appeal before the courts.
The PP wonders if the senior lawyer, who is the general secretary of the Lower House, is going to reconsider his report that considered the law legal, given that his report is contrary and contradictory with that of the lawyers of the Justice Commission, to clarify “what the position of Congress is”, and if the position that is supported by the Congress lawyers is that of their colleagues on the Justice Commission, the PP believes that the secretary general should “consider its continuity.”
The PP showed its concern about the amendments that both ERC and Junts have presented, on their own, and which involve, they emphasize, “raising the price” that Junts wants to charge for the investiture. Cuca Gamarra used the words of Junts to emphasize that if the PSOE does not give in to this demand of the independentists, “colorín, colorado, without La Moncloa you are left.” The PP does not doubt that the PSOE will end up giving in, because until now it has shown that “it is willing to pay any price to stay in power.”
Specifically, the PP is concerned about the amendments that extend the temporary period by two months, and the expansion of the number of amnestiable crimes, which means an amnesty “for a greater number of politicians”, which the PP already calls “caste “.
