Pons warns that the Government defends the interests of violators and corrupt practicing "criminal law of friends"

MADRID, 12 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Institutional Vice Secretary of the PP, Esteban González Pons, has warned this Monday that the Government defends the interests of violators and corrupt practicing the "criminal law of friends" for those who "modify the laws" without being "aware" of the effects collaterals that this produces.

"The same as with the 'only yes is yes' law, will now happen with the decriminalization of sedition and with the criminal reduction of corruption," he said in an interview on TVE, collected by Europa Press, in the who has stressed that what the government does is "reduce" the penalties for the corrupt while "the rest only serves to confuse."

On the justification of the Government that alludes to the improvement of the political climate in Catalonia, Pons has questioned this extreme and considers that "it is very difficult to explain". "The only thing it achieves is that ERC, which is the one who has the convicts who want to benefit, give them their parliamentary support for the remainder of the legislature," he added.

In this context, he has assured that Sánchez "gives a damn about everything else." "We have seen how the socialist vice-president of the European Parliament is arrested for flagrant embezzlement, and the same weekend the Spanish socialists lower the embezzlement penalty. She has no possible explanation," she argued.

Pons, who did not want to comment on whether the PP fears that this reform could benefit those convicted by the Gürtel or Púnica, has emphasized that "stealing for politics or for anything else is just as serious" while the Government says that " when it is stolen for politics with is such a serious robbery". "As someone said, there is finally a government in Spain that defends the interests of the violators and the corrupt", he has stressed.

In relation to the amendments to unblock the appointments of the TC, the 'popular' leader has focused on the fact that Congress and the Senate have been "for the same time failing to comply with their obligation to renew" the CGPJ and has wondered why "nobody attacks "to both chambers. "Why does no one wonder if the presidents are prevaricating by not adopting a decision to which they are also obliged?", He has questioned him.

Thus, Pons has assured that what the Government is doing is "resolving the blockade of the division of powers with a blow to the division of powers" and that this is going to bring a "deterioration" of the rule of law. And when it comes to judges, the Government "establishes a reinforced guardianship from politics", he has criticized.

In another key, on whether he considers the Government legitimate, Pons has acknowledged that he has legal legitimacy, but that the program he is developing is "illegitimate from a democratic point of view because they are the actions contrary to those he promised in the campaign." "When one betrays the commitment that he acquired with the voters, that representation is diluted and betrayed", he has emphasized.

"It is about the devil that has entered the president's body, we are not talking about the numbers we have," he pointed out about the motion of censure that Vox urges them to present. "We are talking about the hard face of a politician who stands for election promising to toughen sentences for corrupt people and ends up lowering them, who promises to defend women and ends up making it easier for rapists to get out of jail," he added.

However, he has stressed that a motion of no confidence would only serve for the Government, together with the votes of Bildu and pro-independence supporters, "to obtain a parliamentary victory for free." "In Parliament, Sánchez supported by the independentistas and Bildu will always win, at the polls he will lose by far", he has predicted.
