The PSOE demands that Azcón dismiss Esmeralda Pastor as Director General of Justice for "making an apology for Francoism"

ZARAGOZA, 2 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Socialist Party (PSOE) demands from the President of the Government of Aragon, Jorge Azcón, the "immediate" dismissal of its Director General of Justice, Esmeralda Pastor, for "not meeting constitutional values" and "flaunting Francoism" through their social networks.

This has been underlined by the spokesperson for the PSOE parliamentary group in the Aragon Parliament, Mayte Pérez, who has "deeply" regretted this appointment of Esmeralda Pastor as Director General of Justice, whom she points out to pose "without qualms with an unconstitutional flag on their social networks.

Pérez questioned what type of professional profile Jorge Azcón chose to represent a sector that, above all, "must ensure that democratic principles and the rule of law are preserved." Likewise, she has blamed the President of the Government for bringing "a new profile similar to that of the President of the Cortes", Marta Fernández.

"After more than two months of delay in forming a government and another two weeks of institutional vacuum, its spokesman, Mar Vaquero, argued that the delay entailed the choice of suitable professional profiles", recalled Mayte Pérez, who is now wondering which one has been the criterion of this choice.

The socialist spokesperson has rejected the values ​​of Esmeralda Passtor who in networks "advocates denialism, denies sexist violence and defends the legacy of the dictator Franco."

For this reason, he has advanced that his group will request the dismissal of the general director if Jorge Azcón does not dismiss her before and regrets that "we will once again have a new position that, like the president of the Cortes, once again puts into question the image of Aragon".
