Montero asks the PP to stop making "calls for turncoats" from PSOE deputies: "you have to be desperate"

Ribera invites the "scandalized" PP deputies with the support of Vox to reconsider if they support Feijóo

MADRID, 24 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The acting Minister of Finance and Public Function, María Jesús Montero, has asked the PP to stop making "calls for the turncoat" of the socialist deputies after the deputy secretary of Culture of the 'popular', Borja Sémper, encouraged them to support to Alberto Núñez Feijó or to those who were uncomfortable with the current circumstances.

"You have to be desperate to make an appeal to the deputies of the PSOE", the deputy general secretary of the Socialists has defaced during an interview on TVE, collected by Europa Press, in which she has also insisted that the PP has to "abandon these behaviors".

For Montero, the investiture of the 'popular' leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, is an "absolute waste of time" to avoid facing "internal crises" of his formation and he has been convinced that they are not going to get any more support. "They have not created conditions during the legislature to produce any kind of rapprochement with any political group other than Vox," she has criticized.

During the interview, the minister was also asked about the negotiations for a hypothetical investiture of the socialist leader, Pedro Sánchez, and the requests for amnesty by the pro-independence groups.

Montero has insisted that the PSOE continue to work "with discretion" but always within the "legal framework established by the Constitution." "The Socialist Party has always conveyed and has always conveyed the desire to restore normalcy in Catalonia", he highlighted.

For her part, the acting third vice president, Teresa Ribera, described Sémper's call as "lack of respect" and "very undemocratic."

In an interview on Televisión Canaria, collected by Europa Press, Ribera responded by trusting that "the PP deputies scandalized by the support of a party that denies sexist violence or who is absent from banners when a sexist crime occurs, think about supporting and being part of a government that has similar support".
