Tamames makes Sánchez ugly that neither Poland nor Hungary reform the Penal Code to "benefit friends"

He reproaches Sánchez for his response with a "prepared" text of one hour and forty minutes: "Why do we have to talk so much?"

MADRID, 21 (EUROPA PRESS) - The economist Ramón Tamames has reproached the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, for the fact that the Executive has proceeded to reform the Criminal Code to suppress the crime of sedition and modify the crime of embezzlement to "benefit some friends of the house", claiming that it is something that has not been done in Poland or Hungary.

In his reply to Sánchez, who has been disgraced by the fact that his speech lasted for an hour and 40 minutes and that he has limited himself to reading papers that he had already prepared, Tamames has come out in defense of Vox, stressing that it is a party that " he has not made the lifting of sedition as a crime to benefit some friends of the house", while to benefit others he raises the crime of embezzlement".

That, "with all the respect I have for it," he told Sánchez, "yes, it should have caused a motion to dissolve the Parliament because that has not been done in Poland or in Hungary." "Lifting the Criminal Code based on the needs of a single person and their desire for power has not existed anywhere in Europe lately," he stressed, claiming that Vox is for the Constitution and will not do anything against it.

Likewise, he has defended himself against the fact that Sánchez has blamed him for being a candidate for the party heir to Blas Piñar. If he went out into the street and asked who Blas Piñar is, he has argued, "he doesn't even know 0.001, nobody knows who he is."

Instead, he has recalled the historic leader of the PSOE Francisco Largo Caballero, who was called "the Spanish Lenin" and who he has pointed out as one of those "responsible" for the Civil War. "There I did not like that he said that because it was seen that someone has given him the name because you are very young and surely he did not even remember him," he acknowledged.

Tamames has thus defended the selection of topics that he has made in his speech and has criticized that Sánchez has spent up to an hour and forty minutes responding to him, proposing to the president of Congress, Meritxell Batet, a reform of the regulations of the Chamber to regulate the intervention times.

"Why do we have to talk so much?" Asked the candidate in the motion of no confidence in a reply to which he dedicated only fourteen minutes. As he has argued, the speeches end up being "repetitive" and instead the topics of the debate are not answered, reproaching Sánchez for having resorted to a intervention prepared in advance and not having responded to many of the issues raised.

Among them, he has highlighted his defense of reforming the electoral law to end the "over representation" that they believe nationalist parties have, his defense of the use of Spanish in Catalonia, corruption or a "conciliatory" government that "stays away from Frankenstein ".

"TODAY CATALONIA DOES NOT PLAY"

Instead, he explained that he has reduced his intervention and made a choice of topics. "Catalonia today does not play. Why? Because there are many issues", he has summarized him.

He has also explained that he has approached climate change from an analysis of the water situation in Spain or of the forests, aware of Vox's position on the matter. However, he has assured that 80 percent of Santiago Abascal's followers "recognize the truth of global warming" and hopes that "soon" in the party they will also be "students of this subject."
