The PP spokesman in the Senate, Javier Maroto, has called on the Government to offer clarifications about the “embarrassing plot of bites and prostitution” known as the ‘Tito Berni’ case, while criticizing the Trans Law, the delay in reforming the Law of ‘only yes is yes’ or the latest remodeling of the Council of Ministers. In her reply, Vice President Nadia Calviño has accused her of wanting to “divert attention” from the “good progress” of the economy and has reproached the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, for going to Brussels to criticize the pension reform of the Executive.
“What you want is to divert attention from the fact that your leader has been absent during the motion of no confidence and has reappeared in Brussels to attack the interest of our country, criticize the pension reform and model the social conflict that we have in our neighboring country, where the streets are burning”, Calviño snapped at Javier Maroto in plenary session of the Senate.
Moreover, the also Minister of Economy and Digital Transformation has stated that the PP has “cuts as a model” and wants to “return to the economic policy model of the PP of 2013 based on cuts and precariousness”.
“Well, no, Mr. Maroto, this government is governing for the majority of Spaniards with an economic policy model of progress and protection, which is what the vast majority of citizens want, as will be demonstrated again at the polls in some weeks”, he proclaimed, alluding to the May 28 elections.
After boasting that the Government has approved “more than 200 laws in this legislature, reaching agreements, dialoguing and with social peace”, he has puffed up his recovery plan and reforms, such as labor and pensions, which “are good for the citizens.
Maroto has opened his control question to the Government in the control session in the Senate asking for explanations for the ‘Tito Berni’ case, recalling that “last week the mediator toured Congress to greet his socialist deputy friends” . “We know this from the panicked faces some of them had and I don’t know if perhaps that visit was also the reason why Patxi López was so excited and so nervous in his interventions”, he exclaimed.
Although she has said that Calviño is “annoyed that this embarrassing plot of bites and prostitution paid for with public funds is brought up”, the PP leader has summoned her to clarify “what the Government has done to clarify the economic scope, the list of socialists involved and all the autonomous communities affected by this plot”.
Immediately afterwards, Maroto has called the government accountable for the “botch” of the “yes is yes” law and has criticized the fact that “no one is politically responsible for this fiasco.” What’s more, he has denounced the “little shame” of the PSOE and its partners for asking for a new extension of the amendments to reform the law.
He has also warned of the consequences that the Trans Law is having, after six prisoners in Asturias announced their registered sex change “just to enter the women’s module.” “Tomorrow there may be six women who ask to change their registered sex to be prostituted in the men’s module?”, She questioned her, to point out that they cannot “look the other way” with this matter.
Maroto has also alluded to the division once again within the Government due to the Family Law that the Council of Ministers approved on Tuesday, given that, as he has said, they have seen a part of the Government “vetoing” the Minister of Rights Social, Ione Belarra, from the press room of the Council of Ministers, while she later recorded “a video on her own saying that the law is hers and should bear her name.”
The PP spokesman has affirmed that the Government also “hid 443,000 unemployed calling them discontinuous permanent workers”, something that, in his opinion, shows that “with the left the only thing that can be added is disguised unemployed”. And he has said that “the only job that they do not bother to hide is the collection” of ministers that Pedro Sánchez has after the latest remodeling, “almost four soccer teams”
The leader of the PP has asked Calviño if the Government “does not get tired of making a fool of himself” and “wasting everyone’s time”. “His is a government trapped and without a family,” he has proclaimed.
CALVIÑO ACCUSES THE PP OF WANTING TO “DIVERSE ATTENTION”
In her turn, the vice president has ironized the “coherence” of Maroto’s “modus operandi”, since, as she has said, she registers a question about the economy that “seems to make sense” but then “she begins to make statements”, saying ” atrocities” and “ask other questions” that, in his opinion, “have nothing to do with it.
As Calviño has stressed, the objective of Maroto’s behavior is “to divert attention from what is important: the good progress of the Spanish economy, even in such a complex international context, as Spanish citizens well know.” However, Maroto later blurted out: “What you have done is called fussing with false indignation, not a single truth.”
