After the “success” of his protest against the amnesty, he will go to Congress supported by his ‘barons’ to exhibit internal unity
MADRID, 25 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The leader of the PP and candidate for the Presidency of the Government, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, will bring to the investiture debate this Tuesday a fiery defense of the equality of all Spaniards and will use his intervention to try to win the battle of the story by accusing the head of the Executive in functions, Pedro Sánchez, of being willing to pay the price of the amnesty to remain in power.
In ‘Génova’ they consider that the PP protest this Sunday in the Plaza de Felipe II was “a success” that “exceeded” their own forecasts – with more than 60,000 people – and this Tuesday Feijóo will also try to corner Sánchez and the PSOE after that “moral support” in the street against the amnesty.
“The PP prefers dignity than presiding over a Government with indignity,” said the general secretary of the PP, Cuca Gamarra, who has announced that Feijóo will give a speech about “a winner at the polls” who also has the support of a majority. of Spaniards who “do not want political privileges” as, in his opinion, was seen in the mobilization on Sunday in the Salamanca neighborhood.
According to Gamarra, they are facing the choice of ‘Feijóo or amnesty’ and the Popular Party “chooses Feijóo, the dignity of principles and equality.” “Even if it costs me the Presidency of the Government, I will defend that Spain is a group of free and equal citizens,” Feijóo himself stated on Sunday.
Feijóo will address the benches of the other parliamentary groups to emphasize that the Spaniards did not vote in the general elections of July 23 for “a change in the constitutional regime”, something that, in his opinion, represents an “electoral fraud” and a ” cacicada”.
For this reason, Feijóo will appeal to the conscience, not only of the PSOE, but of the leaders of “different political sensitivities” to “reconsider” the roadmap that Sánchez intends, given that he did not run for the elections including the amnesty in his programme. “There is no more ideological transfuguism than that,” in the words of Gamarra.
In ‘Génova’ they already assume that it is “complicated” for Feijóo to be sworn in as president this week (he only has 172 votes, the support of PP, Vox, CC and UPN), but they will try to stir consciences in the parliamentary headquarters given the negotiations he is carrying out Sánchez with the independentistas, according to ‘popular’ sources.
Feijóo’s team assures that he is “calm, serene and with high morale” in the face of this debate, in which he will make clear what he is not willing “to pay.” “He is very convinced that what he is going to do is what he should do,” the same sources added.
The regional presidents of the PP and the party will support Feijóo this Tuesday during his congressional investiture speech. Feijóo already surrounded himself with his ‘barons’ in the protest against the amnesty and they will accompany him again tomorrow in Congress.
With this new photo, Feijóo seeks to exhibit internal unity and contrast that image with the criticism that socialist veterans are launching against the amnesty, such as Felipe González, Alfonso Guerra or Joaquín Leguina.
Specifically, ‘Génova’ has specified that all the autonomous barons will attend except the presidents of Cantabria and the Balearic Islands, María José Sáenz de Buruaga and Marga Prohens, respectively, and the president of the autonomous city of Melilla, Juan José Imbroda, who have to appear at the Government control session in their respective regional parliaments.
Sources from Feijóo’s team – who spent this Monday secluded in his office putting the finishing touches to his speech – have advanced that it will be a “very proactive” speech that will include “economic, social and institutional” proposals.
In the economic section, Feijóo will announce that new entrepreneurs will not pay taxes during the first two years, as sources from his team have told Europa Press, who have indicated that it is a “more ambitious” proposal after including a tariff in its program. zero for new self-employed.
This Tuesday, Congress hosts the first investiture debate with the use of co-official languages, although Feijóo is not expected to use the earpiece, as sources from his team announced a week ago when the regulatory reform was approved.
“Feijóo is going to develop a debate not only for the 350 deputies in the Chamber, but for the 48 million Spaniards,” said Gamarra, to emphasize that “the 48 million Spaniards have a common language” and the deputies also “they speak and understand it perfectly.”
