Bolaños sees an "innocent" that the PP asks the Government to withdraw its candidates for the TC and demands that Feijóo renew the CGPJ

He assures that the PP is the "only one that violates the Constitution in Spain" and that for this reason its leader has "zero credibility"

MADRID, 28 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Minister of the Presidency, Félix Bolaños, considers the PP's request that the Government withdraw its two candidates to integrate the Constitutional Court "little less than innocent" and has notified the leader of the 'popular', Alberto Núñez Feijóo, that he will have "zero credibility" until he complies with the Constitution, abandons the "tricks" and signs the agreement that he has already made with the Executive to renew the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ).

In statements at the headquarters that the Government of the Canary Islands has in Madrid, where he has attended an exhibition on the eruption of the La Palma volcano, Bolaños has stressed that, once the CGPJ unanimously appointed this Tuesday the two magistrates who correspond to form part of the TC, the PP has remained as "the only one that violates the Constitution in Spain".

"Feijóo and the PP have zero credibility as a democratic alternative until they stop using all kinds of tricks to block the CGPJ," emphasized Bolaños, who considers that the first opposition party was "shocked" after the body of The government of the judges will unanimously endorse the candidacies proposed by the conservative bloc, those of María Luisa Segoviano and César Tolosa.

This election was greeted this Wednesday by the deputy general secretary of the PP and negotiator for the party leadership, Esteban González Pons, who also took the opportunity to ask the government to renounce the candidacies of former Justice Minister Juan Carlos Campo and the exalted office of Moncloa Laura Díez to accede to the Constitutional.

"That the PP wants to appoint the two magistrates of the TC that corresponds to appoint the Government when the PP governs and when the PSOE governs is little less than a fool," Bolaños replied.

Asked about the bill announced by the PSOE and Unidas Podemos to lower the majorities necessary for the election of the members of the TC that the CGPJ must appoint, Bolaños admitted that, once the renewal has become a reality, this initiative "ceases to be have urgency."

Thus, he has indicated that it will be the parliamentary groups that will have to decide on the matter when the order is known by which, he has remarked, "the conservative majority of the TC" decided to paralyze the processing of that reform in the Senate. He has also recalled that the high court adopted that decision ten days ago and the legal motivations that led to it are still unknown.

Now, according to Bolaños, the urgent thing is for the PP to comply with the Constitution and for Feijóo to sign the agreement that the Government has closed with the 'popular' for weeks. "At the last moment Feijóo's legs trembled and he did not sign it," he has indicated. The PP broke off the talks with the Government when verifying that the crime of sedition for which the leaders of the 'procés' were convicted was going to be suppressed.

Asked if he is open to resuming that negotiation, Bolaños stressed that the Socialists have been "always willing to unblock" this situation with the aim of "democracy and the Constitution working normally."

"It is evident that the one who blocks is the PP and Feijóo," he stressed, before pointing out that this agreement has been made and that it would take "a second" to activate it as soon as the leader of the 'popular' agrees to sign it. "As a New Year's resolution, I ask a party that has governed Spain and will surely intend to do so at some other time to comply with the Constitution," he concluded.
