MADRID, 17 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Government spokesperson and acting Minister of Territorial Policy, Isabel Rodríguez, has stated that the Executive will not attend the Autonomous Communities commission convened by the PP in the Senate because in her opinion the ‘popular’ people intend to use it to create tension.
In the press conference after the Council of Ministers that was held this Tuesday in La Moncloa, he indicated that the Government will not participate in the “instrumentalization” of this commission by the PP, according to the accusation he has launched.
In this sense, he has accused the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, of using that commission to “contribute to the tension” in which in his opinion he is based, and has reproached him for doing so after having been a senator and regional president.
The PP forced the convocation of the General Commission of the Autonomous Communities, which will take place this Thursday in the Upper House, to talk about the amnesty. Although the total number of attendees is not yet known, it is foreseeable that the regional presidents of the PP will attend. On the contrary, the presidents of the PSOE have already confirmed that they will participate.
However, this morning the Catalan Government has announced by surprise that the regional president, Pere Aragonès, will go to the Senate to defend the amnesty and the self-determination referendum so as not to leave this debate in the hands of the PP and its territorial leaders, as he has defended. spokesperson Patricia Platja.
Despite stating that the Executive will not attend, Isabel Rodríguez wanted to make clear her respect for the Senate and Sánchez’s commitment to the autonomous communities, which in her opinion has been confirmed throughout the legislature with the calls for presidential and sectoral conferences. .
Therefore, it has disfigured the PP to convene the commission to talk about amnesty because it considers that there are other topics that could be discussed in that space about transfers in the hands of the autonomous communities such as school cafeterias, free textbooks or public health. .
“So many things that do not fit at this time in the action of the Popular Party, which is dedicated to a single cause, which is once again resorting to tension,” he added. He finally considers that it is the PP’s mantra “to attack and provoke when they do not govern.”
