The PP spokesperson in Congress, Miguel Tellado, complained this Tuesday morning about the lack of control of the Government in the Lower House, where, during the electoral period and with the Catalan polls on the horizon, no plenary sessions are held and What has been described as “legislative paralysis” occurs.
But in the afternoon, in the Senate, where it has an absolute majority, the opposition was able to retaliate and launched an offensive of questions to the Executive, represented by the vice presidents María Jesús Montero (Treasury) and Teresa Ribera (Ecological Transition) and the ministers José Manuel Albares (Exterior), Pilar Alegría (Education), Óscar Puente (Transport), Luis Planas (Agriculture) and Ángel Víctor Torres (Territorial Policy).
The most exalted confrontation, however, has been that between the spokesperson of the PP in the Upper House, Alicia García, and the first vice president and Minister of Finance, before whom she has censored the “spiritual retirement of her beloved leader,” in reference to Pedro Sánchez’s five days of reflection, which, in his opinion, have led Spain to “international embarrassment.”
In a fiery rhetorical intervention, the senator from Ávila has reproached the President of the Government for keeping Óscar Puente, one of the members of Sánchez’s “fan club” who, in her opinion, has become Minister of Transport. Moncloa, which has received the decision of the leader of the PSOE to continue leading the Executive “in full force and with cheers from the fucking master,” has denounced.
“Sánchez conspires against hatred, hating; he criticizes lying, lying; and he claims to fight against misinformation, launching hoaxes live,” García exclaimed to underline that “there is nothing more dangerous than an egomaniacal president, cornered and surrounded by sycophants.” A complete diatribe, written in very harsh terms, against the President of the Government.
“Do you think that Sánchez’s love farce has contributed to improving Spain’s credibility? Do you consider the ridicule abroad of a president in full decline to be positive for Spain? Not to Europeans and Spaniards,” the senator concluded her first intervention.
Montero began his response by pointing out that “it is a shame to see that the PP has no will to change the tone in its interventions” and he regretted that tension dominates the substance and form of current politics, because “it does terrible damage.” to democracy,” he argued.
And regarding the Government’s “crusade” “against rights and freedoms” to which García has referred, who has accused the president of “appropriating democracy”, the vice president has responded that “Spain’s reputation is preserved because Sánchez is the best ambassador he has ever had”, something that, as he highlighted, “is recognized in international environments” and “even by members of the PP.”
“It is important to humanize politics because we are the people behind it,” Montero has defended herself, denouncing the “mud machine” that, according to her, the PP sets in motion to spread “fake news” and “distort the ideological contrast.” instead of “recognizing the legitimacy of the ballot boxes.”
“What you want is an open field to end freedom of the press, judicial independence and even censor bullfighting,” counter-argued the PP spokesperson, who accused the Government of “gagging freedom” like the Venezuelan regime. which, far from the “regeneration” that Sánchez spoke of after his silence, is a complete “democratic depravity.”
Finally, García has demanded the dismissal of the State Attorney General, Álvaro García Ortiz, who tomorrow will star in the plenary session of the Senate with the vote and approval in plenary session of a PP proposal that demands his dismissal: “Today they have a golden opportunity (to relieve him) after the new blow from the Supreme Court,” said the popular spokesperson, in reference to the annulment by the High Court of the appointment of Dolores Delgado as prosecutor of Democratic Memory.
