“He who does not console himself is because he does not want to,” said the socialist deputy Óscar Puente ironically regarding the satisfaction expressed by Alberto Núñez Feijóo for his investiture debate, despite the fact that he never had any chance of success due to the lack of a sufficient parliamentary majority. .
Puente has justified in any case that Pedro Sánchez has not agreed to intervene in this “farce”, and has forcefully denounced that the leader of the Popular Party has “trampled on the symbols of the State”, with this “simulation of investiture” only to try to strengthen their leadership in their own political formation. That, despite everything, he has questioned.
The socialist spokesperson has criticized that Feijóo has used the three main institutions of the State, the Crown, the presidency of the Government and the Congress of Deputies, with this investiture debate, only to try to survive in his party, as a “leader of the full-fledged opposition” and also a “scourge of sanchismo.”
Puente has accused the leader of the PP of using, “in a profoundly disloyal manner,” the head of state to force this debate on an investiture doomed to failure in advance. Thus, he has criticized Feijóo for “using the Crown to crown himself leader of his party,” as well as Parliament to “reinforce himself before his own people.” That is, only with “a personal objective”, “irrelevant to the general interest”, and not to achieve his investiture as President of the Government.
“A statesman does not trample on the symbols of the State,” Puente reproached Feijóo. To strengthen his internal leadership in the PP, he has prescribed that next time he call a congress of his party, or better yet a primary process.
In any case, the socialist spokesperson has ironically dismissed Feijóo’s candidacy for the presidency of the Government. “What was given is over. The end of the Blue Summer has arrived, and you will leave,” he concluded.
