Clarifies that there was no obligation for a government representative to be present at the exhumation of the remains of Queipo de Llano
MADRID, 4 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Minister of the Presidency, Relations with the Courts and Democratic Memory, Félix Bolaños, has asked this Friday to sit down to negotiate the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) with a “valid interlocutor” since the leader of the Popular Party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, “He is not the boss” and he has lamented that he does not have “strength” to comply with the Spanish Constitution.
“I would like to sit down with the valid interlocutor and it is not Mr. Feijóo. He is not the one in charge, I will have to sit down with some regional president, with a radio announcer or with a newspaper director, who are the people who decide on the position end of the PP”, he transferred in an interview on TVE, collected by Europa Press.
Since the negotiations to renew the body for electing the judges broke down last week, the minister has assured that he has not had contact with the PP negotiator, Esteban González Pons, and that they have not met to meet either.
Of course, he has insisted that they are willing to return to negotiations at any time because the situation is “very unfortunate.” “We would already like the PP to respect the constitutional pact that requires a great consensus among the majority political forces to renew the organs of the judges, not to see who the judges are, that is the subject of other decisions,” he added.
Thus, he has lamented that the “extremist forces” of the right have doubled the pulse of the “popular” leader who, according to Bolaños, has his leadership in “very low hours.”
Asked about the alternatives that the Government is considering and, specifically, about the possibility of reducing majorities, Bolaños has not given details in this regard and has emphasized that the Government’s plan is to comply with the Magna Carta.
“That is the plan”, he pointed out, at the same time that he has made a new appeal to the people who “make decisions in the PP” because it is of “patriotism” that the formation of Feijóo complies with the Constitution and the law, although “unfortunately he does not have the strength to do so”, he has settled.
Regarding Feijóo’s position regarding the exhumation of the remains of Queipo de Llano, who avoided making an assessment because he preferred to “talk about the living”, the minister has assured that they caught his attention because they are talking about “a genocidal who ordered the shooting of 45,000 people.”
“I really regret that Feijóo has entered into this dynamic of pleasing the most extremist elements of the right where he has been in that spiral for a few weeks,” he added, while asking him if he is with the memory of the victims of Queipo.
Asked if a government representative should have been in the Macarena crypt in Seville during the exhumation of the remains, Bolaños asserted that there was no obligation or need because “it is a private area.”
In addition, he has transferred that they have been in contact with the brotherhood “from the first moment” and the “law has been fulfilled in a very fast time.”
