He believes that the CGPJ reform is not the most important but the “umpteenth discussion” PSOE-PP
The president of the Generalitat and ERC candidate for re-election, Pere Aragonès, accused this Monday the president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, of raising “a smoke screen” in the form of an electoral act for 5 days, and has urged him to reform the Penal Code, the Official Secrets Law and the Gag Law.
At a press conference at ERC after Sánchez announced that he remains at the head of the Executive after the complaint of Clean Hands to his wife, he said that the gesture “has ended with a performance in the form of a sermon, a personalistic gesture without any concrete proposal to combat the extreme right.”
Aragonès believes that Sánchez has played with people’s feelings and empathy to carry out a political campaign for 5 days: “For me it is not honest”, and has added verbatim that his performance has been absolutely disproportionate.
Asked about the reform of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ), he said that “it is one of the least important” and has framed it in the umpteenth discussion between PSOE and PP, according to him.
“Not everything goes in politics. Enough is enough. Enough of smoke screens and masterful moves. Today Pedro Sánchez has certified something obvious: that Spanish democracy is of poor quality,” he maintained.
He has also said that Sánchez’s movement is not positive at a reputational level because it has generated uncertainty, and he reproaches him for not accompanying his announcement with proposals: “The extreme right is always stood up to. It is never abandoned and it is not overacted in order to electoralist”.
He has regretted that the PSOE always rejects ERC’s proposals in this regard: “If today the extreme right dares to approach the family of the President of the Government, it is because they have tried other places before.”
“They have done it in the Valencian Country and in Euskadi, they have put us in jail, they have forced us into exile, they have given us financial fines and they have spied on us,” and he criticized that, while this was happening, the socialists were looking elsewhere. side.
He hopes that the PSOE will now accept the Republicans’ proposals “to end the impunity of the extreme right.”
AVOID THE ‘KOLDO CASE’
For Aragonès, these 5 days have prevented the PSC, the PSOE and Pedro Sánchez from talking about Catalonia and the ‘Koldo case’, and he has questioned whether all this would have happened if there were no elections in Catalonia.
He has assured that he defends a policy based on honesty and, on talking about proposals, far from personalism and masterful moves: “Let’s leave our egos aside and get to work.”
For this reason, he has insisted that the ERC proposal for Catalonia is clear and that it involves the referendum, fair financing, the defense of the welfare state and the Catalan language.
