MADRID, 11 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The president of Ciudadanos, Inés Arrimadas, has charged this Friday against President Pedro Sánchez for the suppression of the crime of sedition that was applied to the leaders of the 2017 independence process and has accused him of not having “scruples” and of benefiting ” delinquents” to stay in power, all of which would justify, in his opinion, that Alberto Núñez Feijóo’s PP immediately present a motion of censure.
At a press conference in Congress, Arrimadas stated that the proposed law of the PSOE and United We Can to end the crime of sedition is “the greatest attack on the system of democratic guarantees by a Government of Spain”, something without precedents. “It is a black day for the Spaniards and for our democracy”, he has sentenced.
In his opinion, Pedro Sánchez, whom he defines as “the unscrupulous man”, has decided to change the Penal Code to “benefit a handful of criminals who support him in Moncloa”. “This looks like a banana republic in the hands of an unscrupulous president,” he maintains.
The laws and the courts, as he recalled, made it possible to stop the “coup d’état” that in his opinion represented the independence process of 2017, and now Sánchez “weakens” the rule of law and becomes the “godfather” of the next attempt of the independentistas, “that they will do it”.
“Those criminal coup plotters now have the protection of the President of the Government and this is absolutely new,” he added. “He is the worst president, who has never had scruples.”
With this panorama, the leader of Ciudadanos believes that “this would provoke, at a minimum, a motion of censure by the first opposition party”, referring to the PP of Alberto Núñez de Feijóo, the only ones who can present it, in addition to Vox .
Arrimadas believes that this motion of censure, even if it were not successful, would at least slow down the deadlines that the government parties contemplate to have the reform in force at the beginning of the year.
