Montero makes Feijóo ugly that he has not yet presented savings proposals and insists on his link with energy companies and banks

He thinks that Sánchez expressed himself with "rigor and seriousness" in the debate while Feijóo tried to "take a slice" of the crisis

MADRID, 7 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero, has disfigured this Wednesday the president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, who has not yet presented his plan of energy saving proposals "after so long" and has insisted that it responds to the interests of large energy and banking companies.

The day after the debate between Feijóo and the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, in the Senate, Montero pointed out that he was struck by the fact that the 'popular' leader did not deliver a document on the energy proposals "after so long" from the start of the crisis.

Thus, he has stated that he finds it "curious" that not even journalists had access to it and that he would not be surprised if it was not yet finished and Feijóo did not present it for a couple of days. "I think we have to be more serious", he has transferred in statements to Telecinco, collected by Europa Press.

Regarding the result of the debate, the also deputy general secretary of the PSOE, has maintained that it was "very clear" in favor of Sánchez, because, in her opinion, a president was seen who "in his first intervention was reeling off a series of proposals rigorously and seriousness, based on the evidence of the data that is what has to point us to the right path", he declared.

On the contrary, he saw a Feijóo "who did not make any type of proposal" and whose desire "as always" is to "disqualify the position of the Government" because he thinks that "you can get a slice of any crisis," he added.

In this sense, when questioned about the fact that some measures announced by the president --the reduction in VAT on gas and the extension of the Iberian exception to gas-intensive industries-- had already been claimed by the PP, Montero was surprised that that the PP "vote against" the Government's proposals if they think that they "copy" them, he explained.

Finally, when asked if Feijóo has been placed at the head of the PP by large companies, as Sánchez maintained this Tuesday in the Senate, Montero has reaffirmed the accusation by pointing out that he has never voted in favor of the interests or the workers or employers, by opposing the labor reform agreed with the social agents and "more than 13 agreements" agreed in the social dialogue.

Therefore, for Montero it seems logical to think that his strategy responds to very specific interests. "Probably behind it are the interests of those who are taking advantage of this crisis, the income statements, the electricity and oil companies and the banks say so," he concluded.
