Gamarra blames Sánchez for "covering up" the Mediator case and Patxi López reminds him of Feijóo's friendship with a narco

The 'popular' demands a commission of investigation for Tito Berni and the PSOE spokesman blurts out: "Shall we talk about what it means to cover up corruption?"

MADRID, 22 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The spokesperson for the Popular Group in Congress, Cuca Gamarra, and the spokesperson for the Socialist Group in Congress, Patxi López, have clashed today in the plenary session of Congress, accusing each other of "covering up" corruption when it affects their respective parties.

The 'popular' has opened the discussion by blaming the PSOE for acceding to the Government with a motion of no confidence against an honest president and now "covering up" corruption and preventing the investigation of the "Mediator" case and the actions of Tito Berni in Congress . To which the socialist spokesman has responded by recalling the millions of the mayoress of Marbella in tax havens or Feijóo's friendship with a drug trafficker.

During his speech in the debate on the motion of censure presented by VOX, Gamarra took the opportunity to blame Pedro Sánchez for having come to the Government as a "champion" against corruption, presenting an "unfair" motion against an "honest" president as Mariano Rajoy and now, "finishing up mired in cases like Tito Berni" with two presidents of the PSOE convicted of the ERE case or investigated for tips. "And he is still unable to apologize," he exclaimed.

Gamarra has criticized the Socialist Group for "covering up" corruption by preventing the creation of a Commission of Investigation in Congress to find out what has happened in this parliamentary group as a result of learning that the former Socialist deputy Juan Bernardo Fuentes Curbelo used Parliament for his allegedly criminal businesses.

The 'popular' spokesperson has indicated that yesterday the so-called "Mediator" of the case in which the aforementioned former deputy is allegedly involved was "loitering" around Congress. Gamarra has wondered if he met with someone and if what he said about him walking around Parliament with large sums of money is true.

"Do not those who spoke yesterday about dignifying the institutions believe that it is time for an investigative commission to be carried out within this Chamber to find out what has happened within the Socialist Group?" continued to affirm that the last few weeks have been an "unequivocal sign" that Pedro Sánchez is reaching the end of his "unfortunate adventure".

The 'popular' has received a response from the socialist spokesman, who has intervened below, and has accused her of having made a "missing" speech with the Government for talking about how they cover up corruption. That said, he has pointed to the mayoress of Marbella, of whom he has said that 12 million of hers have surfaced in tax havens while the president of the PP takes photos with her and says that he will continue to be her candidate in the city of Malaga .

He has also asked the spokesperson for the Popular Group if he prefers to talk about "how to go on vacation with a drug trafficker" in relation to an old photo of the president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, on a drug dealer's boat.

In addition, he has also brought up the petition of the Prosecutor's Office against the former Minister of the Interior, Jorge Fernández Díaz, for the 'Kitchen operation' in which the use of State means to spy on the former PP treasurer Luis Bárcenas is being investigated. And he has added the accusation of the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor against the president of the Ibiza Council of prevarication and influence peddling for allegedly awarding a contract to a colleague by emergency means.

"We talked about what it is to cover up corruption. They don't like it, eh!", he exclaimed to conclude, stating that "that is the reality."
