Ask the PSOE to allow an investigation in Congress to clarify if there were “possible excesses and violations of rights
MADRID, 9 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The president of the United We Can parliamentary group in Congress, Jaume Asens, has opined that the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande Marlaska, must again give explanations in Congress about the tragedy in Melilla and hand over all the images held by his department to public opinion, given that those known so far contradict the official version.
In fact, he has warned that “opacity cannot be a space of impunity to cover up possible excesses and violations of human rights” and possible responsibilities must be assumed if suspicions are confirmed.
In statements to TVE, collected by Europa Press, the also leader of En Comú Podem has demanded “light and stenographers” in everything related to the death of migrants on the border with Morocco and stated that the head of the Interior should go to the “ophthalmologist ” when he spoke of a “well-resolved” operation, although he has opined that “there is no greater blind person than the one who does not want to see”.
In this way and as a result of the BBC report on the event and the recent visit of the spokespersons of the Interior Commission to Melilla to see videos of it, Asens has opined that the explanations that Marlaska gave in his day are not enough and has called for “transparency”.
Therefore, he has demanded that the PSOE “unblock” and agree to allow an investigative commission in Congress, as his group has requested along with other parliamentary allies of the Executive, because it is the “greatest massacre” that has occurred on the border of the country. “The acts of faith do not work in a democracy, you have to give explanations and deliver all the images”, he has riveted.
And it is that he has insisted that in June there was talk of a proportionate use of force, of a well-resolved operation and that the events occurred on Moroccan soil, but now for the deputy there are images that seem to contradict that vision.
In this way, he has stressed that there are reports from the Ombudsman and Amnesty International that point to possible irregularities and he sees it necessary to clarify, for example, that the Spanish police officials saw what happened and investigate, for example, if there was a possible omission of the duty of help.
