Vox complains against Armengol for allowing the "sainete" of languages with the "collaboration" of the "canelo" of the PP

The recently approved use of co-official languages in the Congress of Deputies remains at the center of controversy. Vox, which will not use earpieces or simultaneous translation systems, announced this Monday a complaint for prevarication against the president of the Lower House, Francina Armengol, for allowing parliamentarians to intervene in Catalan, Galician or Basque before the Plenary approved the modification of the regulations.

In the eyes of Vox, the president of Congress prevaricated by allowing the “sainete” carried out by the separatist formations with the “collaboration” of the “canelo” of the Popular Party, said this Monday the general secretary of the formation, Ignacio Garriga, in clear allusion to the phrases in Basque pronounced by the popular spokesperson, Borja Sémper, just one day after criticizing their use by the independence movement.

This gesture did not please Vox, which left the chamber upon hearing Sémper, and generated discomfort in various sectors of the formation chaired by Alberto Núñez Feijóo.. Before this incident, Santiago Abascal and his party had already left the plenary session after Armengol denied Vox the right to speak, which demanded that the president guarantee the use of Spanish before approving any reform of the Congress regulations.

In fact, in order to protect the use of Spanish in the chambers, Vox presented an initiative in the Senate a few hours after the plenary session with which to protect the common language of all Spaniards in parliamentary sessions.. A proposal that this Monday Garriga once again insisted that the PP support it to “end the abuses of Sánchez and the enemies of the Spanish by instrumentalizing the language of all Spaniards.”

One day after the celebration of the historic PP event, in which Feijóo thanked Vox for its support in the investiture being held this week in Congress, Garriga said “celebrate any demonstration” in defense of the unity of Spain and equality between citizens, but considered that these events may have a greater attendance if they are organized from outside the “partisan axis.”
