The PP says that Reynders made it clear that it will analyze the entire amnesty agreement and calls on European socialism to distance itself

Montserrat accuses Iratxe García of "whitewashing the shame" of Sánchez when he recently voted with PPE to lift Puigdemont's immunity

MADRID, 23 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The PP spokesperson in the European Parliament, Dolors Montserrat, assured this Thursday that the Commissioner for Justice, Didier Reynders, "made it very clear" that the amnesty is a "European issue" and that he will "analyze the entire" political agreement sealed between the PSOE and the independentistas. After appealing to European socialism to distance itself from the steps of Pedro Sánchez, she has accused the PSOE MEP Iratxe García of "whitewashing" a "shame" when just over two years ago she voted with the EPP to lift Carles' immunity Puigdemont.

"Yesterday the commissioner made it very clear, that this is a European issue, that it is not a national issue, that precisely the rule of law concerns the entire European Union," Montserrat declared in an interview on Antena 3, which was reported Europe Press.

Montserrat stressed that the person who brought this debate to Europe was Sánchez himself because it would not have taken place if the President of the Government "had not violated the rule of law in Spain" after his agreement with Junts and ERC to remain in Moncloa.

What's more, the leader of the PP has indicated that "the one who has internationalized" this matter has been the PSOE and the head of the Executive by bringing to Brussels the signing of their agreement with Junts, an agreement that, as she has said, will be analyzed every month in Geneva. "Therefore, lessons from the left saying that Europe does not have to enter, so don't give it to us, because the rule of law really concerns all Europeans," she stressed.

The leader of the PP has indicated that what her party did this Wednesday in the European Parliament, meeting in Strasbourg, was "explain the truth" and "dismantle the false story of Pedro Sánchez", who, in her opinion, has taken it as "true "the story of the independence movement "as if Spain were not a democracy."

Montserrat considers that, after Reynders' statements, the European Commission "takes another step to defend the rule of law" because it said that it will "analyze everything", not only the PSOE bill but the amendments, the political agreement and the investigation commissions in Parliament that, in his opinion, "break with the separation of powers because they are going to investigate the judges."

The spokesperson for the 'popular' in Brussels has put the emphasis on 'lawfare' (use of Justice to pursue political causes) and has warned that Europe "is not stupid" because "it knows how to read and listen." "And above all, who is listening to is the judges," she highlighted.

After recalling that the Spanish judicial world opposes the Amnesty Law, she expressed her conviction that Europe will defend the rule of law in Spain and added that it will do so "with impartiality, with objectivity and with the same procedure as it has done in the other countries".

Montserrat has harshly attacked the socialist Iratxe García, who, in her opinion, is "Sanchez's special envoy to whitewash the shame of the Sánchez Government in Europe." However, she has pointed out that the socialist MEPs from Poland, Germany or Italy "can't believe it" and ask her about this matter in the corridors.

In this sense, he recalled that "two or three years ago" they were all together, PSOE, EPP and European Renew, "lifting Puigdemont's immunity", voting the same. "We explain the truth, the story of the truth, that this man is a fugitive from justice who had attacked the Constitution," he emphasized.

Therefore, he stressed that the European socialists also voted to lift the immunity of the former Catalan president but now Iratxe García and the PSOE "have completely changed" their opinion and are dedicated to "whitewashing Sánchez's shame." In his opinion, "people are not understanding anything."

That said, Montserrat has assured that the PP makes "a call to all these European socialists that if they truly believe in the rule of law, they should also defend it in Spain." According to her, she added, the debate in the European Parliament this Wednesday "also served for all the socialist MEPs who are not Spanish to listen to us."
