Abascal denounces "intolerable pressures" on the Constitutional Court and warns that Spain is experiencing "the most delicate moment" of democracy

MADRID, 15 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The leader of Vox, Santiago Abascal, has denounced that the members of the Constitutional Court have received this Thursday "intolerable pressure" to postpone the plenary session that was to decide on the penal reform of sedition and has warned that Spain is experiencing "the most delicate moment " of its democracy, with a government that "has put Spain, Spanish society and the Constitution at the feet of the horses".

Abascal has appeared surrounded by Vox deputies in Congress after learning of the Constitutional Court's decision to postpone to Monday the extraordinary plenary session that must decide on the appeal that the PP has presented to stop the parliamentary processing of the reform of the court itself.

In this sense, he has avoided criticizing the decision of the High Court and has denounced that its members have been subjected to political and media "pressure" that have prevented him from deciding issues that he believes were "on the minds of some magistrates."

"The deputies of Congress are witnessing live and direct an institutional coup, a blow to the Rule of Law and a blow to the Constitution", he warned, accusing the Government of not believing in democracy, in the Constitution and being "willing to to everything".

Faced with this situation, he has advanced that Vox will continue working to present a motion of censure against Pedro Sánchez, is studying the filing of complaints before the Supreme Court and evaluating calling for citizen mobilizations again.

In addition, he has lowered the tone of criticism of the PP leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, he has celebrated that he said that the 'popular' would not vote this time against a motion of no confidence, despite the fact that on Monday he said that an abstention demonstrated " little commitment." "It is a step that we welcome, I respect their strategy and we have heard that they respect ours. It is a good starting point to reach an agreement and be able to do something," Abascal said Thursday.
