EL ROSARIO (TENERIFE), September 5 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The president of the PP and candidate for the presidency of the Government, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, assured this Tuesday that he will not accept “any blackmail” from the leader of Junts and former Catalan president, Carles Puigdemont, in the face of the investiture and has assured that no one can agree with him neither an amnesty nor an independence agreement for Catalonia.
“The amnesty does not fit in the Constitution, the independence referendum does not fit in the Constitution. So Mr. Puigdemont’s conditions are not conditions that any democrat can assume,” said the popular leader in statements to the media after visiting Tenerife. the areas affected by the last fire.
For Feijóo “it would be nonsense” and “a legal anomaly for a person wanted by Spanish justice to decide the future of the Spanish nation.” “We cannot accept any type of blackmail and subject the dignity of the Spanish people, of Spanish democracy and of one of the oldest nations in the world such as Spain, to what is decided and what is proposed, knowing that those decisions and proposals They are illegal,” he stressed.
The candidate for the investiture considers that in “no country in the world can a person who has pending accounts with justice decide who is the president of the government or can decide whether or not we go to repeated elections.”
“But it is evident that no one can agree on what cannot be agreed upon, which is the State and the integrity of Spanish territory, not even Mr. Sánchez. Therefore, I hope that no one thinks of approving laws knowingly that they are illegal and that, in the same way as the previous legislature, the Congress table chaired by the PSOE denied the processing of an amnesty bill, now that same table chaired by a senior PSOE official is not going to process a bill that a few months ago was classified as illegal, no matter how much it needs Mr. Puigdemont’s yes,” he argued.
Feijóo also advanced that if that were to happen, for the Senate, with a PP majority, “it is evident that this cannot be approved.” “We would incur a political responsibility and we would see if there is any other type of responsibility, voting in favor of a law knowing that it is illegal. That cannot be done in a Rule of Law, because it goes against the Rule of Law itself,” he concluded.
