Rodríguez asks the PP to leave the "constitutional rebellion" and make the decision this Monday to unblock the CGPJ

MADRID, 2 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Government spokesperson and Minister of Territorial Policy, Isabel Rodríguez, has asked the Popular Party to "once and for all wake up this Monday making the decision to unblock the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) and thus get out of the" rebellion constitutional".

"It is really dramatic that a political party, plus the main opposition party, is dedicated to breaching the Constitution and blocking such an important institution," he stressed this Sunday in statements to the media at the PSOE headquarters.

In Rodríguez's opinion, the recent visit by the Commissioner for Justice of the European Union (EU), Didier Reynders, "has revealed that the PP does not comply with the Constitution" and causes "an undesirable blockage for Spanish justice that affects the country's reputation in the European context". Therefore, he hopes that the 'popular' have reflected this weekend and take the step to get out of the "anomaly" in the CGPJ.

In this regard, he has made it ugly that the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, expects to receive a call "to comply with the Constitution": "There is no room for conversations or calls here, it occurs to no Spaniard to say that to comply with the Constitution you have to call him The Constitution appeals to all of us."

On the other hand, Rodríguez has emphasized that the fiscal debate of the last week has allowed contrasting models, that of the Government, focused on "strengthening the Welfare State", and that of Feijóo, which is "the same" as that of the former Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, whose times of crisis were those of "the biggest layoffs in history, the highest unemployment rate and workers without benefits".

"Rajoy had amnesties for his rich friends and Feijóo has those with large incomes, large assets. Feijóo sides with banks and energy companies by preventing a tax on extraordinary profits, or by voting against it. Just like Rajoy, who What he did was give away public money to banks instead of protecting evicted families," he added.

In this context, he has claimed that the Executive's fiscal plan "carries social justice", a line in which, he has assured, work will continue in the General State Budgets (PGE).

"The PGE go hand in hand with this fiscal policy", he applauded, to specify that the Government's commitment is to have the budgets "in due time and form" so that they "come into force at the beginning of the year".

"We have time and margin to get some good budgets, the work continues all week until they reach the Council of Ministers, they are very advanced," he said, while "he has not ruled out or confirmed" that they can go to the Council of Ministers of this Tuesday.

Rodríguez has stressed that both the PGE and the fiscal policy "go in the direction of giving peace of mind to protect families (...) and that at the same time Spain continues to advance with the development and deployment of the Recovery Funds", to strengthen energy policy, among other issues.

"It is about giving stability to Spain against those who block, to advance social justice against those who protected inequality, to give peace of mind in the face of fear," he defended.

In this context, he has told those who "are alarmed and want to generate uncertainty" about the Government's policy, that it "does nothing more or less than comply with the Spanish Constitution."

On the other hand, Rodríguez has preferred not to value the crisis of the Catalan Government, although he has advocated political and institutional stability and has valued "the work that the PSC is doing from the opposition to build an alternative in Catalonia."
