If the Government ends up approving a hypothetical amnesty for the crimes of the process, Alberto Núñez Feijóo will put all his resources to fight it. The PP would not only appeal to the Spanish Justice, but is already studying the possibility of raising the issue to the European courts, according to the sources consulted.. But in Genoa they emphasize that “nothing is decided until we see the text.”. if an initiative is finally presented that more or less directly addresses the clean slate that Junts per Catalunya demands in exchange for voting in favor of the investiture of Pedro Sánchez.

“There is a part of Europe to which, with the amnesty, we are telling that the crime did not exist” that the Spanish Justice has already judged “because Sánchez does decide it based on his professional needs,” they explain to this newspaper at the address national of the popular. “We will look for a way for this issue to also have visibility in Europe,” they add.. «The Amnesty Law, when it arrives, we are going to fight it by land, sea and air, and we are not going to allow inequality of treatment between Andalusians, for example, and Catalans, and even between first-class Catalans, those of the process, and the rest. », explains a spokesperson for the Popular Party.

Génova considers reaching any community body – the Constitutional Court generates, today, “suspicions” – and raising its voice in any forum of political denunciation. In that sense, Feijóo has announced a territorial offensive against the amnesties, as EL MUNDO announced on September 7, through motions for the socialists to “portrait themselves”. «The response to the separatist challenge cannot be a mere dialectical confrontation between Genoa and Ferraz. Responsibility is collective. No politician will be able to hide his opinion. We will take an initiative in favor of the equality of Spaniards and against the privileges of pro-independence politicians in the courts, assemblies, and city councils,” he assured, during his speech before the National Board of Directors of the PP, the party's highest body between congresses.

This is how they explain it in the circle of the president of the most voted party: “We are not going to let the internal pressure within the PSOE only come from people from the PSOE like Felipe González, Alfonso Guerra and other leaders of the past.”. “Now we want to ensure that those who continue to receive payments from the PSOE have the opportunity to be consistent with their past decisions and statements.”. “We are going to make those from the PSOE say that they are fine with the amnesty” in each municipality and community, they insist.

“Tension the PSOE”

“We will look for more formulas to put pressure on the PSOE before the investiture,” confirm the same sources, who add that the PP will also use its absolute majority in the Senate to “try to stop Sánchez” in the hypothetical case that he finally brings the amnesty to the courts.

Feijóo told his barons that he does not have the numbers because he is not going to give in the same way as the general secretary of the PSOE: “I prefer that we can look each other in the eyes of the opposition than that we have to lower our heads to enter La Moncloa». “I would rather pay the price of a no for defending” that Spain needs unity and reforms “than pay the price for a yes to misgovernment,” said the popular leader.. «It is tempting, and even easy, to choose that path to Moncloa, but I can assure you that this will not happen.. It is always worth choosing the path of freedom in the face of those who endanger it, it is always worth choosing dignity, especially when indignity threatens to overwhelm everything,” he solemnized right after.

In his speech, the leader of the PP insisted on the idea that Sánchez would commit a kind of fraud on his electorate if he approved an amnesty, because he did not have it in the program: “Neither the PP nor the PSOE have asked the Spaniards for consent to break with the equality of all citizens before the law. “No one has given their consent to demolish the rule of law in exchange for a few votes.”

In this way, the president of the PP activates the opposition mode, in case Sánchez's parliamentary majority is consumed.. But, he immediately proclaimed that he will arrive at La Moncloa “now or soon”. “With all certainty, the path has begun that will lead us to govern Spain now or soon, it will not be through auctions, shortcuts or deception, and it will not be by abiding by what the minority imposes on the majority of Spaniards,” he stressed.. “It will be through commitments to the majority of citizens and families, now or soon,” he said.

That is why he places great value on his investiture speech and on having accepted the King's proposal: «Now this investiture process is more important so that what millions of Spaniards think and want for this country is not silenced. “The PSOE has tried to despise 8 million [PP] voters by not recognizing the results of the elections.” «And then», Feijóo continued his argument, «he has tried to despise 11 million and has tried to silence the investiture, and they have cornered us simply because what is in our program is nothing that is being talked about now to invest Sánchez ».
