He criticizes the “terrible moral judgment” of Minister Óscar Puente for identifying Bildu with Vox
The president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, announced this Tuesday that his party will bring to the Congress of Deputies that tributes to ETA members be prohibited, the possibility of pardoning them and that those convicted of blood crimes will once again be on electoral lists, as happened in the last municipal elections.
This was stated after the Socialist Group agreed this Tuesday in Congress to “open a calm and moderate debate” to reform the Penal Code and decriminalize insults to the Crown and the glorification of terrorism, giving the green light to the proposal. of law promoted by Sumar and that seeks to suppress the so-called crimes of opinion, which also include offenses to religious feelings and outrages to national symbols.
In an interview on Telecinco, which has been picked up by Europa Press, Feijóo has pointed out that it is “nonsense” to declare “legal the insults to the head of the State of the Crown, to declare legal the attacks on the symbols of our country and to declare legal the exaltation of the terrorism”. “It is moral and ethical nonsense,” he has proclaimed.
For this reason, the leader of the PP has indicated that he will bring to Congress “something quite different” because his party is going to propose that “people convicted of terrorism with blood crimes cannot be on the electoral lists of any party”, a promise that already announced in the regional and municipal campaign on May 28.
Furthermore, he has advanced that the PP will propose that “no government can pardon a terrorist” and that these “pardons cannot be a bargaining chip to obtain the investiture or to obtain any political profitability”, something that he sees as “absolutely reasonable.” In the same way, he has indicated that the PP will propose “prohibiting tributes to ETA members.”
Asked about the statements of the Minister of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, Óscar Puente, who claimed not to understand the demonstrations in Pamplona over the pact sealed between PSN and Bildu in Pamplona to unseat UPN from the City Council, he maintained that he was surprised because “it breaks everything what has come from the Socialist Party in 45 years”.
Likewise, he has charged against Puente for “identifying” Bildu with Vox and has pointed out that Ortega Lara, who was kidnapped by ETA, is a member of Abascal’s party, while in Bildu there are “people belonging to the terrorist group and convictions for terrorism.” , so, in his opinion, “identifying Ortega Lara with his kidnappers demonstrates terrible moral character.”
At another point, the ‘popular’ leader has spoken out regarding the agreement between Bildu and PSOE – in which they commit to the recognition and reparation of the victims of ETA violence – ironically saying that he is surprised then that they are going to decriminalize acts of glorification of terrorism “if they are not going to occur”, in relation to the bill registered by Sumar to reform the Penal Code with the aim of suppressing the so-called crimes of opinion, among which are insults to the Crown , offenses to religious feelings and outrages to national symbols.
