Montero denounces the "confrontation" against Sánchez of "nostalgic" for 1-O and the right that longs for "black Spain"

The Deputy Secretary General of the PSOE and Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero, has vindicated this Sunday the commitment to "coexistence" that, in her opinion, is championed by the President of the Government and socialist leader, Pedro Sánchez, in the face of the "confrontation" that They lead both "nostalgic" for the Catalan independence process that on October 1, 2017 organized an illegal referendum, and the right that, with mobilizations like the one this past Saturday in Madrid, intends to "return to black Spain".

This was denounced by the socialist minister and vice-secretary during her speech at the presentation ceremony of Antonio Hurtado's candidacy for Mayor of Córdoba that the PSOE held this Sunday in that Andalusian city, and which also included speeches by the secretary General of the Andalusian PSOE, Juan Espadas; the provincial secretary of the Cordovan PSOE, Rafi Crespín, and the socialist mayor himself.

In line with the mobilizations that in recent days have been staged by both Catalan independentists in Barcelona --in line with the summit that the governments of Spain and France held there last Thursday-- and parties of the "right" this Saturday in Madrid, María Jesús Montero has defended that Pedro Sánchez has dedicated himself to "working for coexistence in Spain", and has criticized that "some prefer to remain installed in polarization, confrontation, confrontation, fighting, because they only know how to do politics from the confrontation".

Thus, the 'number two' of the federal socialist Executive has criticized those "nostalgic for 2017", when "we were experiencing a real bankruptcy, a risk of rupture in our country", and in response to this, has claimed that the PSOE, both from The opposition, as now in the Government of Spain, "has worked to sew, suture those wounds" and "build a comprehensive Spanish project that allows coexistence in all corners" of the country, and has asserted that "you have to know the independence movement", that "the 'procés' is over".

"Those processes of rupture, those formulas, ways, of being against the Constitution or breaking the order in our country" are over, María Jesús Montero emphasized before criticizing the "others" who demonstrated in Madrid this Saturday but who are "interested in the same thing", which is "confrontation and confrontation", as he has denounced.

The deputy secretary general of the PSOE has maintained that what took place this Saturday in Madrid was "a demonstration in favor of the right, where Vox and the PP came together", and in which "they claimed a power that they believe belongs to them by birth ", because "whenever the PSOE occupies it, they believe that we are usurpers, an illegitimate government, because they despise the vote of the citizens."

In addition, Montero has ruled that "it cannot be believed that one distributes the card of the Constitution in those demonstrations when pre-constitutional flags, those of the eaglet, were waving in the wind, because what was intended is to return to black Spain", as he has asserted.

Faced with that right that "only makes noise" and "try not to listen to the music of progress, of the majority", the minister has insisted on defending that "the main thing that a ruler has to do is work for coexistence" in its territory, and has lamented that the current legislature has passed through an environment of "permanent anger."

MESSAGE TO FEIJÓO

Montero has also alluded to the president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, to warn him that, in order to carry out a project for the country, "it is not only a question of occupying power", but of having "the trust of the citizens" and putting these "in the center of politics" to promote agreements between "everyone" in search of their "well-being".

The socialist minister and leader has regretted that, "at this point" in democracy, "we have to explain the alphabet of what it means to respect majorities", and in this regard she has alluded to the blockade in the renewal of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ ), to remark that "we have been choosing the governing bodies of judges for 40 years with rules that have always been the same and that we have been respecting" the Socialists, unlike, as he continued, the PP, which "never respects them , because they think that, when they are not there, the governments are illegitimate, and that is why they propose changes in the governing bodies of the judges".

Faced with this, Montero has snapped at the 'popular' that "what they have to do to start speaking and have a minimum of legitimacy is to respect the Constitution, which is respected by complying with it" in its entirety, and "not only what like it", he added before accusing the representatives of the PP of having "over 1,400 days not complying" with the Magna Carta, and said party of being "the only one in this country that does not comply" and, despite this, "it is allowed the luxury of distributing constitutionalist cards", according to what he denounced.

The deputy general secretary of the PSOE has also maintained that "right-wing governments have always represented setbacks", while those of the left "led" by socialists have been "a breath of fresh air for the conquest of freedoms, to continue advancing in matters in which this society has a long way to go", such as equality between men and women, as he has cited.

And at that point he has alluded to the 'pro-life' measures announced by the PP and Vox coalition government in Castilla y León, and has defended that the socialists have "unmasked" the claim of some rulers who believe that women are not " of legal age" nor "mature enough not to make our own decisions" in matters such as voluntary interruptions of pregnancies, as he has argued before exclaiming that "no one is going to take away what we have advanced", and warning of that "we are going to continue working to continue advancing further".

During his speech, Montero vindicated the PSOE as an "environmentalist party, which knows that economic and industrial development, the progress of humanity cannot be at the expense of the environment", and the one that "has given the economic, social , the most important in recent years, after the crisis" in Spain, within the framework of a legislature that has been "tough" for the Government and in which "we have had to rise to the occasion", according to what has been reported .

Montero has defended that at this stage "it has been shown that there are two ways of doing politics, the one that is with the workers, with the middle class, the youth, the pensioners, the women, and the one that turns its back and invents thousands of of excuses to say 'no' to everything, even the confinement that saved thousands of lives" during the Covid-19 pandemic.

THE "CORRECT" SOCIALIST POLICIES

He has thus proclaimed his "pride" for a party like the PSOE which "has shown that this crisis has been saved with different, pre-distributive and redistributive social democratic policies", and in this regard has vindicated the latest increases in the Minimum Interprofessional Wage until it is around to 1,000 euros, the labor reform that has increased the "levels of permanent and permanent contracts", and the policies that have allowed the Spanish economy to grow in 2022 "more than 5%" and reduce inflation, according to what has been reported to defend that these policies are "the correct ones" and those that "make us leave before the crisis".

Finally, the minister has also directed a message of support to the toilets who in recent times have been demanding "dignified conditions" in their work, and has vindicated the PSOE as "the party of the homeland."
