IU sees no legal obstacle to an independence amnesty and doubts that the PNV will support Feijóo with Vox behind

MADRID, 7 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The deputy spokesman leader of Izquierda Unida in Congress and elected deputy of Sumar for Córdoba, Enrique Santiago, considers that "there is no limitation" to advancing in amnesties such as those that are requesting pro-independence formations to support the investiture of Pedro Sánchez, to the time that he has expressed his doubts because the PNV is going to vote in favor of Alberto Núñez Feijóo with Vox supporting him.

In statements to the media from Congress after collecting his credentials as a deputy, Enrique Santiago has spoken in this way about the demands of groups such as Junts to allow Pedro Sánchez to become president of the Government again.

In this context, the also general secretary of the PCE has indicated that "constitutional experts" are saying that there is no legal obstacle to advancing on issues such as the type of amnesty that the independentistas are demanding.

Of course, Santiago has specified that the talks with the political forces to form a government "are open" and that the legal possibility of granting an amnesty to the independence movement "does not mean that it is what corresponds or ceases to correspond." "That will have to be seen how the government majorities are formed," he has defended.

Faced with Vox's offer to Feijóo to give him his votes at the investiture even without entering the Government, Enrique Santiago does not consider that the PNV or "any democratic force" is going to offer their support to the PP leader having Vox behind him.

"The right does not have a majority to govern, the result of the polls has been very clear, no matter how much Vox or Mr. Abascal offers himself to Mr. Feijóo, he does not have a majority," the leader of Izquierda Unida has proclaimed.

For this reason, he considers that Vox's offer "does not change the scenario at all", reproaching PP and Santiago Abascal's party for their pacts in different autonomous governments, the last being that of Aragon.

"The PP and Vox have sufficiently alarmed the citizens of this country to reject an agreement that could make some kind of joint government possible," says Enrique Santiago, who has defined these pacts as "constant restrictions on fundamental rights."

And given the support that Feijóo can reap, the IU leader has indicated that "the reality is that the PP has no allies and no one answers the phone because it has subordinated its policies to the policies of the ultra-right."
