The president of the Popular Party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, will travel to Pamplona on Sunday to express his opposition to the no-confidence motion agreed by the Socialists with Bildu and to vacate the UPN mayoralty and give it to the Abertzale formation.
Núñez Feijóo calls on the “PSOE to abandon the wretched pact that it is about to close in order to give the mayorship to a party that does not condemn the ETA attacks, that continues to glorify terrorism”. The PP interprets the agreement as the first payment for Bildu’s support for Sánchez’s investiture.
The president of the Popular Party recalled that in order for Bildu not to obtain mayorships or the management of other institutions, after the elections of May 28, the PP voted, as for example in Vitoria, in favor of the socialist candidate.
For Feijóo, the pact between the PSOE and Bildu is “the most miserable of all that Sánchez has signed in his political career, because he has colleagues killed by ETA and he has made an agreement with a party that has brought people to the municipal and autonomous lists convicted of belonging to ETA”.
Feijóo made these statements in Brussels, where he met with the leaders of the European People’s Party, Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Vice President Vera Jourová. After the meeting, the leader of the PP was convinced that the European institutions will stop the amnesty law. Regarding the pending meeting between the leader of the PP and the president, Feijóo specified that he expects Moncloa to inform him in writing of the issues he intends to discuss.
