Tellado denounces that the TC acts “in favor” of Sánchez: “It needs Conde-Pumpido so that this legislature can last”
MADRID, 18 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The PP spokesperson in Congress, Miguel Tellado, has expressed that the PSOE is resorting to ‘Operation Catalonia’ to cover up the pacts it has reached with the pro-independence parties so that Pedro Sánchez continues as President of the Government. In his opinion, it is a “smokescreen” and he considers that the threat to democracy today “sleeps in Moncloa.”
For Tellado it is “quite regrettable” that the PSOE has “assumed as its own” the speech of the Catalan independentists, he said this Thursday in an interview on Cadena Cope, reported by Europa Press.
“Bringing up the subject of ‘Operation Catalonia’ at this time cannot be more than a smokescreen to justify what the PSOE is doing now. They want to cover up today’s mess with tomorrow’s mess and thus kick the can down the road. and move on to the next screen,” he said.
Tellado has thus referred to the fact that the PSOE considers that the latest news about the so-called ‘Operation Catalonia’, of alleged espionage on the Catalan independence movement to stop the ‘procés’ during the ‘popular’ Government of Mariano Rajoy, reveals “very serious” behaviour. “against democracy. Furthermore, the socialists call on the judges to act immediately.
The ‘popular’ spokesperson has considered that this is part of a “trap” by the PSOE and its “media network” with the aim of not talking about “what is truly important, which is that Spanish democracy is threatened at this time.” and that the threat sleeps in the Moncloa.”
He has also ruled on the fact that the Constitutional Court has corrected the Supreme Court in the cases of former Podemos deputy Alberto Rodríguez, by annulling a conviction for kicking a police officer, and of the leader of EH Bildu, Arnaldo Otegi, by protecting him by annulling the order to repeat a trial against him.
For Tellado, it is “evident” that there is a “political and partisan” use of the Constitutional Court, which the Government has under “control” to “give a veneer of constitutionality to what does not have it.”
“It is dramatic that the Constitutional Court tries to become just another court when it is not and that it tries to condition and stop the actions of the Supreme Court, it is an attack against the constitutional and institutional architecture,” he maintained.
The PP spokesperson has indicated that the mission of the guarantee court is not to review the Supreme Court. “The Constitutional Court is being used and abused in favor of the PSOE and in favor of Sánchez, which is inadmissible, but Sánchez needs (his president) Conde-Pumpido so that this legislature can last at least a few months,” he concluded.
