Feijóo affirms that the amnesty is the price that Sánchez will pay to be president and says that this will be the “legislature of deception”

The president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, gave an interview to the program this morning More than one, on Onda Cero: “It doesn’t depend on Sánchez, it basically depends on you, on someone who is not in Congress, it depends on Carles Puigdemont, the former president of the Generalitat. We have never had a President of the Government who depends on someone who is wanted and captured,” Feijóo said about the investiture of the leader of the PSOE and acting President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez. “We have had a few years of enormous instability, enormous weakness on the part of the possible president Sánchez,” added the president of the PP, who has accused Sánchez of lying to the Spanish people.

“Spain cannot get used to this, it cannot get used to this paripé in which we live,” said Feijóo. The conservative leader recalled that the PP was the party with the most votes last June 23. “Today the PSOE is the party with the least territorial power in recent years,” he added. “I cannot accept that Sánchez says that what he won at the polls is a yes to the amnesty,” he insisted. “It is the price that he is going to pay to be President of the Government,” continued Feijóo, who has already said that Sánchez is going to turn this legislature into the “legislature of deception.”

“What interests him is not coexistence, but convenience. Without that he cannot be President of the Government,” continued Feijóo, who has accused Sánchez of making a “sum of concessions and deceptions” to be President of the Government. The leader of the PP has insisted that he has resigned from being President of the Government by not accepting the amnesty and, therefore, not adding the votes of Junts, although in that case, as the nationalist parties reminded him during his investiture debate, It would not have Vox’s 33 supports.

Feijóo has also accused Sánchez of whitewashing Bildu and of not being able to pronounce the word amnesty. The leader of the PP spent most of the interview criticizing the possible amnesty for those prosecuted for the process, a measure requested by the Catalan independence parties, Junts and ERC, in exchange for their support for the investiture. According to Feijóo, the amnesty would imply “tearing off the leaves of the Spanish Constitution” and “making the Supreme Court look absolutely ridiculous.”
