Edmundo Bal sees the PP installed in "everything is fatal" and thinking only of electoral revenue

MADRID, 31 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The deputy secretary general of Ciudadanos and spokesman in Congress, Edmundo Bal, believes that Alberto Núñez Feijóo's PP has settled into a dynamic of "everything is fatal" and "everything the government does is badly done", and it is that In his opinion, the two major parties are now only thinking of obtaining "electoral revenue" and "media impact", despite the context of a serious economic crisis.

At a press conference in Congress, Edmundo Bal said he was glad that the Government is committed to recovering the MidCat gas pipeline, although he recalled "no one has been interested in carrying out this work in recent years, neither from the PP, nor from the PSOE" , and that in the spring, when Ciudadanos proposed it, Vice President Teresa Ribera's response was "cold." "We are glad of the Government's rectification, how much we would like them to rectify also regarding the closure of nuclear plants", she added.

Regarding the fact that the European Commission has assumed the need to intervene in energy prices, as the socialist Pedro Sánchez had been demanding, the number two of Ciudadanos has assured that they will give their opinion when measures are specified, although he has indicated that the so-called 'Iberian exception' cannot be extended to the entire European Union because then it will no longer be an 'exception'.

In any case, Bal has stressed that "what goes well for the Government is something good for Spain", and this comforts him. Instead he believes that the PP is in "everything the Government does is wrong" and "everything is fatal", and sees the PSOE dedicated to "propaganda and marketing gestures".

His conclusion is that "the two great parties that have governed in turns only think of themselves, of obtaining electoral gains and media impact."

And this is exemplified, in his opinion, by the episode of the debate in the Senate on energy, whose management "has been a shame" because first Núñez Feijóo asks for it, then the Government begins denying it and in the end it grants it because it sees that it is good for him , and then it is the PP that begins to put "obstacles". "But what is this? What do we politicians dedicate ourselves to?" he emphasized. "They are taking all this very lightly."
