PSOE responds to Feijóo that he does not have votes because he would lose support from Vox if he makes an agreement with nationalists

MADRID, 26 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The PSOE spokesperson in Congress, Patxi López, responded this Tuesday to the PP candidate for the investiture, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, by pointing out that in no case do the 'popular' have the necessary majority because if they reached an agreement with the nationalists, they would lose the support of Vox.

In this way he has responded to Feijóo, who during his investiture speech has indicated that if he wanted he would have the necessary votes to be president, but he is not willing to pay the price that the nationalist and independence parties set, such as the approval of an amnesty for those involved in the process.

López has reproached Feijóo for saying that he has the votes within his reach and has questioned whether he has asked Vox before. "Does anyone believe that if Mr. Feijóo comes here with an agreement with the nationalists to earn enough to be president, Vox is going to continue supporting him?" he pointed out.

Thus, he has assured that the 'popular' leader in no way had the votes and he also knew it from the first moment but he has still decided to "waste the time" of the Spaniards, as he indicated in statements to the media in Congress, after Feijóo's initial speech.

Patxi López has also accused the PP leader of making a speech more typical of a "motion of censure" than an investiture during more than half of his speech. In his opinion, he has dedicated himself to censuring "a candidate who is not a candidate", the acting President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, and his Executive.

"More than half of his speech was a motion of censure and when he entered the investiture part he went back to doing what he always does, lying," he said, before criticizing him for saying that he had the votes within his reach. hand.

Along the same lines, the socialist spokesperson has disdained one by one the State pacts proposed by Feijóo. Regarding the agreement on water, he has pointed out that the Hydrological Plan has already been approved and regarding the pact for families, he has reproached the PP for presenting this initiative when they voted against "each and every one" of the Executive's policies that " They helped families."

He has also criticized the pact on democratic regeneration and the proposal to incorporate a new crime of Constitutional disloyalty. In this sense, it has been asked whether the lack of renewal of the General Council of the Judiciary, which has had an expired mandate for more than four and a half years and for which the PP is blamed, would be included in this type of criminal offense.

Continuing on the pact to strengthen public services, he has accused the PP of doing the opposite and weakening them by trying to privatize them where they govern. And in fiscal matters, he considers that his only proposal is to lower taxes on the rich.

Finally, in terms of territorial cohesion, he has defended that the person who has done the most in favor of citizen coexistence "is Pedro Sánchez" because "he has recovered politics to solve political problems."

Along these lines, the Minister of the Presidency, Relations with the Cortes and Democratic Memory, Félix Bolaños, has criticized Feijóo's intervention, describing it as "very sad" in statements to the media upon leaving the chamber.
