Bendodo (PP) calls Sánchez a "gambler": "With one hand he is asking for a meeting and with the other he is blowing it up"

TORREMOLINOS (MÁLAGA), December 16. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The vice-secretary of Autonomous and Local Coordination and Electoral Analysis of the PP and national deputy for Malaga, Elías Bendodo, this Saturday called the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, a "player" and lamented that he "permanently tries to deceive us." Furthermore, he has criticized that he "with one hand" asks for a meeting with the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, and "with the other he is blowing it up."

"At the moment he -- Sánchez -- extends his hand for a meeting and a meeting, at that same moment, with his other hand he is breaking up the meeting," warning that "he has already done it twice," Bendodo said at a press conference in Torremolinos (Málaga).

Thus, Bendodo, who has assured that they are "taking the measure of Sánchez and we are getting to know him", recalled a first occasion when he asked that together with Feijóo "they sit down to negotiate the reform of the General Council of the Judiciary", which "is moved forward", but "when he saw that we could reach an agreement, he broke up the meeting by saying that he was going to eliminate the crime of sedition, knowing that for us that is a red line. "The PSOE and Sánchez do not want any agreement to renew the Council," he said.

"Now he is reaching out again to deceive us," he warned, adding that Sánchez "says that we have to sit down again to talk about the General Council of the Judiciary and other issues," but "the next day an agreement is reached with the heirs of ETA and gives him the Mayor's Office of Pamplona" and "knowing that for us that is another red line."

"He's kidding us, he doesn't want any agreement with the PP. He only survives on radicalism and anything that involves sitting with the PP gives him a rash," he said.

However, he noted about the meeting that, "I believe that the cabinets are looking for a date, but I don't know if it will be possible." "The cabinets are talking, no agenda has arrived at the moment and we are going to see what approach they make," but he insisted that "they have already deceived us and they are going to try to do it a second time."

In Bendodo's opinion, "the gambler is asking for a meeting with one hand and with the other he is busting it so that it doesn't happen and he believes that we Spaniards are stupid." "We Spaniards have already taken the measure of Pedro Sánchez," he warned, while criticizing that what the President of the Central Executive does is "permanently teasing all Spaniards."

At this point, Bendodo has stated that Sánchez "reaches out to our party, but he does not want any agreement with the PP." "He is about building that wall and when you build a wall like the one Sánchez wants to build, you place Spaniards on one side and the other."

Thus, Bendodo has indicated that "a bad president of the government, a bad mayor or a bad president of an autonomous community only speaks and governs for those who have voted for him"; while a "good one governs and addresses everyone, whether they voted for him or not." "If you do the opposite, that is, govern for your own people, the word that best defends you is sectarian" and "thus our country does not advance."

Bendodo has also pointed out that Sánchez "has chosen his path", which, he said, is "that of division, of confrontation between all Spaniards, radicalism." "He prefers the photo with Puigdemont, who is looking for it, and we will see it, we will surely see it, and he does not want the agreement with the PP" and added that "he prefers the photo with heirs of ETA."

On the other hand, Bendodo has described Sánchez as an "expert in escapism" and has said that this week he has not appeared in the Congress of Deputies" when the amnesty law was discussed. "He was not there, he did not show his face and he did not voted for admission to processing." In addition, he recalled that "it is not the first time he has done so" and has alluded to the vote on the reform of the 'only yes means yes' law.

"In hard moments Sánchez wrinkles, he is ashamed of himself because he knows that these two issues are disastrous for him and for his country," he added.

Thus, he has assured that, "in the end, a president who flees, who is ashamed of himself, what he has to do is take the door and leave." "Being ashamed of oneself is the worst thing that can happen to a ruler," he warned, and said that "Sánchez is the worst moral example for a society; he has lied to us, he has no scruples and puts his personal interests above everything," he concluded.
