The president of the PP asks the PSOE to explain, “for the good of the system,” what Leire Díez did at Correos.”
The president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, reaffirmed this Monday regarding the Amnesty Law that “giving away impunity in exchange for power is corruption, and so is undermining the equality of citizens before the law.” He asserted that “it is unconstitutional, because all the experts in this country have said so.”
According to him, the lawyers of the Justice Commission of Congress, the lawyers of the Senate, the Supreme Court, the General Council of the Judiciary, the associations of judges and prosecutors, and the most prestigious constitutionalists “have said that the Amnesty Law is immoral and that the Amnesty Law does not bear the support of European law and the Constitution.”
Núñez Feijóo He made this statement following the Constitutional Court’s report endorsing the Amnesty Law, at an event in Cáceres on Monday. He stated that the government “is trying to convince us today that buying a government with privileges is legal,” something the PP leader rejected, reaffirming that “buying a government with privilege is neither ethical, nor moral, nor legal.”
For Núñez Feijóo, Pedro Sánchez’s government “is an insult to the citizens, and we will never remain silent in the face of such indignity.” He then lamented that “Spain has never had such a weak government, nor has it had a president so surrounded by corruption,” which is why “change in Spain” and the need to “awaken the civic conscience” of the country have never been so necessary.
And, in his opinion, “values, morality, and decency must be restored in Spain,” as well as “rebuilding everything that Sánchez has destroyed,” something that, he asserted, he will do. PP, “because Spain needs to recover the democratic decency that this government has taken away from it.”
He asserted that the government “has put its hands in all of the state’s institutions and that has created an obvious reality,” such that “everything they’ve touched, everything smells bad, absolutely bad,” he emphasized.
IRONIZES LEIRE DÍEZ’S “METEORIC CAREER”
On the other hand, the PP president lamented that the PSOE “tried to convince them that they didn’t know who this Leire Díez was,” regarding whom he noted that “in one week she went from being a complete stranger to the PSOE to discovering that Sánchez’s chief of staff and president of Correos had her validate the postal vote.”
Thus, Feijóo ironically asserted that “it’s the most meteoric career ever seen,” after which he pointed out that Leire Díez “knows about philately; she worked at the uranium company.” “He has also been enriched, he also knows about the Civil Guard and even the workings of the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office,” which is why he emphasized that he is worth “everything to the PSOE.”
Given this situation and “for the good of the system,” the national leader of the PP considered that “the best thing they could do instead of dissembling and denying her is to explain what this woman did at the Post Office,” what her duties were, and who replaced her.
In his opinion, “it’s the least we can ask for,” said Núñez Feijóo, who considered that “everything is so regrettable, the deterioration is so great, that we cannot remain silent.”
For all these reasons, the national leader of the PP considered that Pedro Sánchez “wants to be a president without limits, without checks and balances, and without evaluation,” something that the PP will not “remain silent” about, and will “defend democracy.”
“We are going to rescue the values of the transition and, if necessary, we are going to modify all the laws to “We must defend ourselves from governments and ensure that the Constitution is upheld, ensuring that there is no legal loophole for a government to violate the Constitution and violate the equality of citizens before the law,” he emphasized.
According to him, the constitutional legislator committed “a series of naive acts” since “he could never have imagined that the government itself was trying to undermine the fundamental foundations of a democracy, such as the separation of powers, judicial independence, and freedom of expression.”
DEMONSTRATION “WITHOUT ACRONYMS”
For all these reasons, Feijóo, at this event in Cáceres, in which he participated alongside the president of the Extremaduran People’s Party (PP), María Guardiola, invited all citizens to attend the demonstration called for this Sunday, June 8, in Madrid, with the aim of “demonstrating that we have a voice, that we have a memory, that we have values, that we have a conscience, that we have decency.”
An event they will attend “without acronyms” with the aim of “uniting all those who want change” and relying on “the strength of a Spain that does not and will never give up,” Feijóo emphasized, adding that they will gather “for our democracy and for our equality before the law,” he concluded.
