The leader of Vox, Santiago Abascal, ruled out this Sunday exercising “restraint” in relation to the protests against the amnesty as requested by the acting president of the Government and general secretary of the PSOE, Pedro Sánchez.
“No restraint in the face of the coup d’état, no calm in the face of the coup d’état, no tolerance in the face of the coup d’état, all the forcefulness and permanent mobilization and not only in the streets, in the institutions,” Abascal stressed in statements to the media at the demonstration called by the PP at Puerta del Sol in Madrid.
“It is tremendous that whoever is carrying out a coup d’état against the institutions and the rule of law asks for restraint and legitimacy,” added Abascal, to criticize that Sánchez “came to power five years ago by lying to the Spanish people and has once again accessed the power by lying”.
“That is, the previous Government was illegitimate, and this one is also illegitimate for accessing power with lies,” said the leader of Vox, adding that a Sánchez Executive would be an “illegal Government because it seeks to undermine the division of powers.” in Spain”.
Abascal has assured that he has “no doubt” that the Spaniards “today are responsible for permanent and growing mobilization against the coup”: “We must stop it in the courts, in the streets, and we must try to stop it in parliaments.”
“And we say a coup with all the letters and in capital letters because some of us firmly believe that we are facing a coup d’état,” said Abascal, who also explained that “it is not enough” to mobilize on Sundays “or make statements.” “The mobilization cannot stop because we know where this coup is taking us in the final stretch,” he claimed.
Finally, the leader of Vox has indicated that the party believes that the Police have received political instructions “from day one to break up these mobilizations” and has assured that the acting Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, “wants to criminalize these mobilizations and has caused riots”. “Marlaska and Sánchez are to blame for the violence,” he declared.
After attending the demonstration in Puerta del Sol, Abascal will go to Ferraz Street in Madrid to participate, around 1:00 p.m., in a new protest in front of the national headquarters of the PSOE, where thousands of people have gathered for nine days. against amnesty.
