Well no. The open letter that Paco Núñez sent to Emiliano García-Page this week asking him to “stop” the possible amnesty law to guarantee the investiture of Pedro Sánchez was not the last cartridge of the Castilian-Manchego PP, but the penultimate. The popular ones of this autonomous community had other proposals in the chamber and the one they have made public today is still, at the very least, controversial.
García-Page warns: “Puigdemont intends to humiliate the State as much as he can”
The general secretary of the Castilian-Manchego PP, Carolina Agudo, has offered to pay the fine of 600 euros that, she claims, they would impose on the national deputy of the PSOE Sergio Gutiérrez (who is also Secretary of Organization of the PSOE of Page) for skipping the discipline of vote and vote against the amnesty regulations that the socialists are still negotiating with Junts.
It is an example of the “calls for transfuguism” denounced by the PSOE and which the PP denies but which have been repeated since Emiliano García-Page’s rejection of the amnesty was made public. Since then the calls for attention to the leader of the Castilian-La Mancha PSOE have been constant and just yesterday the number 2 of the regional PSOE Sergio Gutiérrez came to call him “corruption”, in response to Paco Núñez’s letter to García-Page asking him to “strongly stop the amnesty” because “only he can do it.”
Today, Carolina Agudo has openly encouraged Sergio Gutiérrez, who is a national deputy of the PSOE for Toledo, to “skip the voting discipline so that he votes conscientiously with Spain and with the Castilian-La Mancha people” and to pay him the penalty that this would entail.
In fact, he has encouraged this socialist leader and his fellow members (the rest of the Castilian-La Mancha PSOE deputies in Congress) to vote against this possible norm. “They are on time,” he said. “If their conscience leads them to value the seriousness of the amnesty more than servility to Sánchez,” she herself offers to pay him the fine money “because the price we are going to have will be more expensive for all of us in Castilian-La Mancha.” to pay for the Sánchez toll.”
What does the Regulation of the Socialist Parliamentary Group say?
Paco Núñez’s number two – as his leader did yesterday in the letter addressed to Page – refers to the Regulations of the Socialist Parliamentary Group in Congress. He says that its article 33 includes the freedom to vote for reasons of conscience. As verified by this newspaper, this text indicates that the Parliamentary Group may “exceptionally agree to the freedom to vote for reasons of conscience, once the reasons of the requesting parliamentarian or parliamentarians have been heard.” But the fine of 600 euros is collected “for unauthorized absence from plenary votes that require a qualified majority or are of singular importance and have been previously indicated.”
Despite this very explicit request, Agudo has said that he is not requesting “transfuguism” from the socialist deputies but rather “dignity.” “Transfuguismo would be asking them to vote for the PP. We are not asking you to vote for another party other than yours, but on the contrary, we are telling you to stop this outrage that Sánchez is going to carry out out of dignity.”
He also added that Page cannot hide behind “the fact that his deputies are not his” and reminded him that, in the preparation of the electoral lists for the last general elections of 23J, there was a dispute with the Toledo lists in which Pedro Sánchez was betting on the former mayor of Toledo Milagros Tolón and Page “prevented her from leading the list” by including Sergio Gutiérrez as number one.
“Therefore, the national deputies are yours. Page can stop it by giving guidelines to his Castilian-La Mancha socialist deputies to reject the investiture agreement,” he concluded.
The PSOE: “Are you going to pay for it with mileage allowances?”
The response of the PSOE has been quick. Shortly after this medium published the controversial PP offer, Sergio Gutiérrez himself published a tweet on the social network ‘ In the Madrid Assembly, they “offered him several millions.”
With this, he ironically said: “They consider us to be of a lower level and they offer us 600 euros. Will they pay for it with Mr. Nuñez’s mileage allowances? He starts out wanting to make a Tamayo and ends up like Bárcenas.”
The socialist deputy refers to whether the popular party would pay that fine with Paco Núñez’s “inflated expenses” for fuel amounts for travel, a controversy that became public a month before the regional elections on May 28.
Tamayo was offered several million (he escaped Mr. Inda one day on the Sixth), they consider us to be of a lower level and they offer us €600. Will they pay for it with Mr. Nuñez’s mileage allowances? You start out wanting to make a Tamayo and you end up like Bárcenas. https://t.co/mAStnZJrz4
