Robles sees "unacceptable" that Nogueras put away the national flag and María Jesus Montero downplays it

MADRID, 22 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Minister of Defense considers "absolutely unacceptable" that the Junts spokesperson in Congress, Míriam Nogueras, moved the Spanish flag from the press conference room of the Lower House and has demanded "respect" for a symbol that, according to has said, "represents all Spaniards".

This Tuesday, before starting a press conference, the pro-independence deputy moved the national banner located behind the lectern one meter away so that it would disappear from the camera shot. "We have separated it a little bit," she said, stressing that the flag of the European Union represents "much more" to her than the Spanish one and that, in addition, she was "very cool."

Asked about this episode in the halls of Congress, Robles censored it, remarking that "everyone can have their own opinions, but they have to respect what the Spanish flag means."

According to the head of Defense, the rojigualda "represents all Spaniards." "It belongs to no one and it belongs to everyone, it represents the values ​​of the Constitution, coexistence, peace and Human Rights," she emphasized.

Less importance has been given to Nogueras's gesture by the Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero, for whom the fact that Junts votes "no to everything" is "much more important", which implies "improving people's lives", also of those who live in Catalonia.

Asked if Congress should take any action against Nogueras as the PP, Vox and Ciudadanos have raised, Montero limited himself to commenting that "each institution must have the ability to know how to behave with respect to its symbology."
