MADRID, 19 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero, stated this Wednesday that in Spain “there are plenty” of all those who “play confrontation” between different sectors of the population, in line with the controversy generated by the Trans Law and the extension of the period of amendments to the rule being processed in Congress.
Montero has made these statements after the signing of the Framework Agreement for a 21st Century Administration and has wanted to “dispel doubts” about “the intentionality that some want to see” behind this decision, as he has indicated.
“In this country there are plenty of all those who constantly play the confrontation between different sectors of the population, between territories or between generations,” he said below.
Along the same lines, he stated that they are “tired” of the fact that all the political discussion that is taking place today “is based on the confrontations to which certain opposition groups have accustomed us,” he added.
This same morning, the also deputy general secretary of the PSOE, defended the extension of the term to present amendments to the Trans Law and assured that “in 99% of the cases it is done.”
This was expressed by Montero in an interview on TVE collected by Europa Press in which he explained that the amendment periods “are short” and “there are very important laws in which the groups want to work on issues.” Montero thus came out against criticism from United We Can, which has accused its government partner of deliberately delaying the parliamentary processing of the law.
“Never, when we have an extension of an amendment process, has it been questioned; it is interesting to say that it is done for that reason (delay it),” indicated the minister who declined, however, to specify whether this expansion of the deadlines is a matter of days. Montero also lamented the decision of the former deputy from Madrid, Carla Antonelli, to withdraw from the PSOE as a militant.
