Feijóo calls Sánchez a reactionary and accuses him of perpetrating a “revolution”
“This is a cacicada that is inappropriate for a democracy,” said Alberto Núñez Feijóo before the start of the demonstration called by the Catalan Civil Society. “We have come to convey our unequivocal commitment to a society of free and equal citizens in which no one is above anyone else and we all have the same rights, in which there cannot be a privileged political elite, some to be able to reach the presidency of the Government of Spain after losing the elections and others to put a price on their legal and personal situation,” he stated in reference to the negotiations between the PSOE and the Catalan independence movement to grant an amnesty to those accused of the process.
“We come to say that we are in favor of the equality of citizens, we come to say yes to the word given, yes to the principles, yes to the Constitution, yes to the Statute and yes to all the Catalans who have “have been abandoned by the PSOE and that is putting the entire Catalan society in the hands of the independence movement,” continued the president of the PP, accompanied by Alejandro Fernández, president of the party in Catalonia, who was very critical of the approaches from Genoa to Junts in August and september.
“This is not an amnesty that seeks reconciliation, what it seeks is the presidency of the Government. It does not seek coexistence, it seeks an economic transaction in exchange for the presidency of the Government by seven votes [de los diputados de Junts]. “That is logically a regression and a reactionary decision,” concluded Feijóo, who assured that he attended the demonstration “as another citizen” and “not because he is the president of a political party.” “I came because I am a citizen and I neither look for nor avoid photos,” he concluded regarding the presence of Vox leader Santiago Abascal at the rally.
