The PP is heating up engines for its return to the streets against the amnesty. It will be Sunday, in Plaza d’Espanya in Madrid, where he has called the protest. Meanwhile, Alberto Núñez Feijóo gathered yesterday a handful of party mayors and mayoresses with whom he shared his rejection of the “impeachment process” that, in his opinion, has been undertaken by the PSOE and by which the country “is left without a Constitution and is at the mercy of certain political interests or certain partisan interests”.
Today in Congress, the Justice Committee will debate the amendments that came out alive during the debate on the Amnesty law and predictably next Tuesday it will be debated in the full Congress, if an agreement is reached between the allies of the investiture. It will then go to the Senate, where processing will take two months.
Between today’s debate and that of next Tuesday, the PP wants to promote this mobilization which will have its culminating point on Sunday with the celebration of this demonstration.
Previously, the mayors of the PP will sign on Saturday a manifesto that Feijóo himself presented yesterday accompanied by a hundred mayors and mayoresses, in which the “equality of Spaniards” is defended and the “privileges” that, according to the opinion of the people, the Executive of Pedro Sánchez concedes to the pro-independence parties.
Feijóo exhibited with them the local power of the Popular Party that governs the municipalities, where more than 23 million Spaniards live in 3,000 municipalities throughout Spain. According to the opinion of these councillors, Sánchez “despise the opposition, belittles the mayors, ignores the lawyers of Congress and points to the judges”, on a dangerous path, which, Feijóo proposed, “the democrats must fight”.
Four months after the first major event of the PP in Madrid, when it gathered 60,000 people, Feijóo stated that with this manifesto the PP aims to “give a voice to those who do not have it” and guarantee them that it will defend “the equality of Spaniards”. The popular leader wants to give a voice, he assures, to the perplexed neighbors.
Perplexed, said Feijóo, “by a legislature that has started in an absolutely amazing way”, from which it can be deduced that “the only law that will pass without problems is the Amnesty law”.
A legislature, according to Feijóo, with a central government “subjected to continuous blackmail”, and because “those who exercise the blackmail have seen that it has bent – as happened with the approval of the first three decree-laws that the Executive referred to Congress – they will continue to raise the blackmail”.
The president of the PP announced, after the Christmas holidays, a political, judicial and street offensive, which includes the new mobilization in Madrid, “to denounce an impeachment process, which the PSOE with the independentists are carrying out”, and which the PP will oppose, he said, “as the State party that it is”.
The president of the PP spoke with the mayoresses of six Spanish cities: Huesca, Huelva, Saragossa, Alcalá de Henares, Cartagena and Teruel, about depopulation, mobility, public services and male violence, which seemed like a response to the president of the Spanish Government, which hours earlier had warned of the “risk of a real setback” for the feminist cause, as is being seen in established and consolidated democracies.
Although, in his speech, Sánchez did not refer to the PP, Feijóo responded by reminding him of the law of only yes is yes and stressed that “we need to start talking seriously”, because many administrations governed by the PP adopt measures that other administrations, presumably progressive, do not carry out.
