The PP and Vox, the two parties that have promoted the so-called “concord laws” in Aragon, Castilla y León and the Valencian Community, have shown their disdain for the report of the United Nations rapporteurs that warns that these regulations could violate the human rights, since they make invisible the “serious violations” committed during the Franco dictatorship,” they can lead to “limits to access to the truth about the fate or whereabouts of the victims” and would not be in accordance with international standards and treaties.
The general secretary of the PP, Cuca Gamarra, considered this Friday that the authors of the writing “possibly do not know” the laws and has even warned that they may also not know “what concord means.”
For his part, the vice president of the Junta de Castilla y León and leader of Vox in this Community, Juan García-Gallardo, has asked himself: “Who are these gentlemen?”
The general secretary of the PP, who has admitted that she does not know the content of this document but sees it possible that “whoever issued it is also unaware of those laws and what harmony means,” added that its authors must also be unaware of the law of democratic memory that “Bildu has imposed, which has wanted to promote that the transition is not a democratic period and I believe that this path is the dangerous one,” Gamarra said, “that is the one that must be rectified, that revisionism, I believe, is the one that cannot be corrected.” “Spanish society deserves it and it is the one that the Popular Party criticizes.”
“From this first moment we have to ask ourselves, who are these rapporteurs? What do you know about Spanish legislation? What do you know about the real content of these laws? Because what we have seen in the press already denotes a lot of ignorance,” García-Gallardo warned when asked about the writing.
“Who are these gentlemen? With whom do they have an affinity, who has named them?”, he asked about the authors of the writing, who are the special rapporteur on the Promotion of Truth, Justice, Reparation and Guarantees of Non-Repetition (Fabian Salvioli), the president of the Working Group on Forced or Involuntary Disappearances (Aua Baldé) and the special rapporteur on Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary Executions (Morris Tidball-Binz).
Asked about the reasons for these doubts, García-Gallardo expressed that it will be “seen over time” if they have an “impartial vision of the situation or if, due to their trajectory, they are conditioned.”
From Valencia, the PP ombudsman, Miguel Barrachina, has indicated that his party feels “happy” with a law that, he has defended, “tries to equalize all victims.” For his part, his Vox counterpart, José María Llanos, has ruled that the UN report “is an interference that violates the sovereignty of states.”
