Feijóo accuses the Government of not wanting to "single out" Puigdemont in Brussels and "intervene" the Prosecutor's Office to not investigate him

He believes that the President of the Government is going to try "until the end" to approve the Amnesty Law "because without amnesty there is no legislature"

The leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has accused this Friday the Government of Pedro Sánchez of "intervening" the Prosecutor's Office of the Supreme Court with the application of article "155" of the Constitution and of not wanting to "single out" Carles Puigdemont in Brussels , after the resolution approved by the European Parliament to investigate Russian interference and its ties with the former Catalan president.

In an interview on esRadio, which has been collected by Europa Press, Feijóo has indicated that what is happening in Spain "has reached Europe", where "they have been very clear" in defending investigating "any type of connection, if any, with Putin's regime.

"And what is curious is that the PSOE votes in favor and then when it is necessary to point out specific people, it does not vote. But the truth is that in Europe the Socialist Party votes in favor of investigating possible contacts of the Catalan independentists with Putin and here he persecutes the judges, he disqualifies the judges who are investigating this operation," he stated, adding that they live in a "permanent senseless state."

Feijóo has stated that "without the rule of law there is no European Union", whose founding principles are "the separation of powers, the equality of citizens before the law and the independence of the Judiciary". "And those three principles are the ones that are being attacked in Spain because that was the price to obtain the investiture," he added.

After the Supreme Court prosecutors have imposed their criteria and advocated investigating Puigdemont for terrorism in the 'Democratic Tsunami' case, Feijóo has denounced the "intervention" of the Prosecutor's Office by the Government. "And in addition to all this, we have seen how, as a prosecutor said, how the Supreme Prosecutor's Office, a 155 of the Government, has intervened," he exclaimed.

"Because that 12-3 vote is so forceful that anyone who dedicates themselves to this should say 'hey, let's leave this as it is and let the prosecutors do their job,' because what the prosecutor does is his job," has emphasized.

Feijóo has stressed that the majority of the Supreme Court prosecutors "are in favor of continuing with this investigation" for terrorism against Puigdemont but "the prosecutors have been disavowed." "And, in my opinion, humiliated," he indicated, to ask that prosecutors and Justice be allowed to do their job.

PROVIDES A "CALVARY" OF LEGISLATURE

The president of the PP considers that Pedro Sánchez is going to try "until the end" to approve the Amnesty Law "because without amnesty there is no legislature." "And therefore he is going to invent it, he is going to continue, insist, persist and he is going to make the entire Prosecutor's Office look ridiculous," he added.

Feijóo, who has predicted "an ordeal" of the legislature, has stated that they are "in the most critical moment" that Spanish democracy has experienced. "The Legislative Branch does not have the legitimacy to approve the Amnesty Law, because it cannot approve laws against the Constitution," he has ruled.

The leader of the PP has indicated that Spain is facing the dilemma of "Constitution or amnesty", which is an "impossible cause." "In Spanish democracy we have a Government that does not want to comply with the law, that disqualifies judges for doing their job and that intervenes in the Prosecutor's Office," he added.

Likewise, he highlighted the visit of the Venice Commission to the Congress and the Senate to analyze whether the Rule of Law is being respected with the Amnesty Law, a law that does not fit into the Constitution" and that has been processed "without asking no type of report".

Finally, the president of the PP has reproached Sánchez for having "gone to Brussels more times to talk about the independentists than about the farmers" and has blamed him for the "absence of interest" and the "disdain" of the Government towards the " serious problem in the field".
