The streets of Madrid have once again been packed with thousands of people clamoring for an early election before the corruption cases that hit the Government of Pedro Sanchezto which the attendees, among whom were officials from the PP and of Voxthey consider “the common enemy.”
The protesters, called by the Platform for Constitutional Spain, gathered this Sunday at noon in the Plaza de Castilla. In a sea of Spanish flags, attendees chanted slogans such as “Our president is a criminal” or “Sánchez, resignation.”
The central act of the protest has been the reading of a manifesto, by the journalist Albert Castillonwhich has been interrupted numerous times by chants such as “Sánchez, criminal”, “Sánchez, liar” or “Sánchez to prison”.
“It doesn’t matter what ideologies you have, “There is a common enemy and it is Pedro Sánchez.”Castillón said in his speech, in which he criticized “the granting of the Catalan quota to the nationalists”, “the attack on the separation of powers with unspeakable pressures and attacks on the judiciary from the executive and legislative branches” and the approval of the “immoral and unconstitutional” Amnesty Law.
Abascal: “He has to go home”
Among those attending the protest was Santiago Abascalnational leader of Vox, who has said that “This Government has to go home and give back the voice to the Spanish people”.
Abascal has reaffirmed his total opposition, “alone or accompanied”, to the Government and has denounced that Pedro Sánchez’s Government is mired in “illegal practices”. “There is no corruption that does not practice,” has indicated.
However, the Vox leader has admitted that “It’s going to be very difficult for him to fall,” because Sánchez “needs power at any price” and “is willing to use any tool at his disposal.”
Regarding a possible motion of censure presented by the PP, he said that he would like to know the reasons that Alberto Núñez Feijóo would have for registering it, but in any case, he said that I would support it under any conditions.
Abascal has said that he does not know if the PP will end up raising it and in fact, he has reproached him for “stretching this debate too much.” “What we know for sure is that in the face of the two motions of censure presented against Pedro Sánchez, the PP voted against in one and abstained in another,” he said.
The PP, without Feijóo
The Popular Party has also been in the protest. The deputy secretary of Territorial Organization of the party, Carmen Funezwhich has excused the absence of Alberto Núñez Feijóo “for personal reasons”, he said that “there has not been any moment in democracy as delicate” as the current one and has assured that citizens are “tired” of the “lies”, the “lack of cleanliness” and the “corruption “from the Sánchez Government.
“This situation is tremendously delicate and complex and the only way we can resolve it is giving voice to democracy and the Spanish people”said Fúnez, who has recommended Sánchez to “think that things from now on are not going to go better.”
Fúnez has said that the State Attorney General, Alvaro García Ortiz, He is “Minister 23”, whose accusation represents “a before and after”, which is why he has asked for his resignation and that he not lend himself to the “entrenchment strategy that Pedro Sánchez has in the Moncloa Palace”.
The PP politician has said that the Government has no political agenda or management “when a government with eleven ministries involved in the corruption plot “it is concerned about protecting itself, it forgets to attend to the citizens’ public services and to attend to the agenda that affects the daily lives of Spaniards.”
“In the end there are more members of the Government who are taking advantage of the Government to protect themselves from corruption than to serve the citizens and The clearest example is Minister (Óscar) Puente“he said.
Also representing the PP has been the general secretary of the PP of Madrid, Alfonso Serranowhich says that the current situation of the Government is “absolutely unsustainable”, without “direction” and dedicated exclusively to “attacking” any type of “dissidence.”
Serrano has told Sánchez that, no matter how much he tries to attack the Madrid president, Isabel Diaz Ayuso“nothing is going to cover up all the corruption that muddies the PSOEto the Government and to the President of the Government”.
