MADRID, 27 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The ERC spokesman in Congress, Gabriel Rufián, replied this Thursday to the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, that there is a parliamentary majority to reform the crime of sedition, as requested by his party, which advocates “democratizing” the Spanish Penal Code .
Sánchez reaffirmed last Friday, in Brussels, that he does not have sufficient parliamentary support to undertake the reform of the crime of sedition, although he defended “harmonizing” the Penal Code with that of “the main European democracies.”
“Whoever knows how to count knows that it is false, that it is a lie,” Rufián told the media in the corridor of Congress before the debate on the entire General State Budget (PGE) for 2023, stressing that the PSOE has shielded itself in which this parliamentary majority does not exist “on more occasions”.
Regarding the reform of crime, he pointed out that ERC “has always said that it is good news to democratize the Penal Code and make it more comparable” to that of the rest of the European countries in this matter.
Of course, he has avoided assessing the state of the talks with the PSOE, while he has suggested “not to talk so much”, as he did during the day on Wednesday. “I think the worst way for something to go well is to telegraph it,” he riveted.
