Almost at the same time that the acting president of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, was speaking at the inauguration of the summit of European leaders on the integration of the countries of the Western Balkans into the European orbit in Tirana (Albania), the president of the Party Popular, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, assured from Madrid that the socialist leader and current candidate for the investiture runs the risk of taking Spain “towards a horizon similar to that of the Balkans”.
It was at the presentation of the president of the Balearic Islands, Marga Prohens, at an event organized by Europa Press in Madrid that Feijóo recovered a very harsh speech against the nationalists and accused the acting president of giving in to him. Feijóo reiterated the commitment against Pedro Sánchez’s “unconditional surrender” and “capitulation”, with which “independence will get almost everything, and Spain, nothing”.
Feijóo is convinced that Sánchez is ready for anything, even if this means uniting “an independence defeated at the polls” with “the excessive ambition of those who have also been defeated at the polls”. Both, says the leader of the Popular Party, “try to undermine the authentic diversity of Spain and the Spanish”.
For Feijóo, both amnesty and self-determination or the privileges in autonomous financing are matters of the State “that steal from the will of the Spanish people”, with the sole objective of “pleasing independence and disguising the claudication before their demands with a misrepresentation of language”. For this reason, Feijóo considers it necessary to remember that independence “led a blow against the State, against the Constitution, against the Spain of the autonomies”, with a motivation, “to break the rule of law and the separation of powers and silencing the Catalans who desire tolerant diversity”.
Now, assures the leader of the PP, they want the same with the difference that “he has found someone willing to accede to his claims, as long as they guarantee him power”.
In the same vein, the spokesperson of the PP, Borja Sémper, expressed, after the meeting of the party leadership, his “concern about the Catalanization of Spanish politics and about the division”, which make Spain “run the serious risk that political polarization contaminates Spanish society”.
According to Sémper, the current situation can lead to “a worrying scenario of political breakdown” and “serious risks of contamination in society”.
The PP, he stressed, does not want to contribute, but that will not stop him from denouncing the amnesty that the Spanish Government is prepared to grant, and which until a few months ago it considered unconstitutional, and everything, Sémper stressed, “for the interest of a few, which prevails over the interest of the Spanish”.
