The Government labels the PP an "anti-system party" and terminates Feijóo: "He is a failed leader"

Vox assures that the PP has made "the ridiculous" with the negotiation of the CGPJ and urges the 'popular' not to speak anything with Sánchez

MADRID, 2 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Minister of the Presidency, Félix Bolaños, has described the PP as an "anti-system" party and has assured that the leadership of its president, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has been "touched, probably sunk" after the failure of the negotiations for the renewal of the Power of attorney. "He is a failed leader, the third time lucky," he commented, referring to the fall of Pablo Casado last spring.

The minister's statements have been made in the plenary session of Congress and in response to a question from Vox, who asked to know if the Government plans to agree on a self-determination referendum in Catalonia.

Given this, Bolaños has pointed out that "it is absolutely evident" that the current situation in Catalonia is better than it was in 2017 with a PP government, because now there is no illegal referendum, no declaration of independence, no violence in the streets or disconnection laws. “I am very sorry that the clock has stopped in 2017,” he told Vox deputy Ignacio Gil Lázaro.

In his opinion, this improvement in the Catalan political panorama has been achieved "with dialogue within the law and the Constitution" and he has remarked that the coalition government will continue to act in this way.

Gil Lázaro has also warned against the possibility of lowering the penalties currently contemplated for the crime of sedition, which in his opinion would be a "disguised amnesty", and the minister has replied by reiterating the Government's commitment to standardize criminal legislation with Europe. Of course, he has promised that what is done will be "within the law and the Constitution."

And from there the minister has charged against the PP, which in his opinion is part of "the anti-system right" just like Vox. Bolaños, the Government's negotiator in the failed talks of the Judiciary, has recalled that the PSOE did agree with the CGPJ when it was in opposition and the Rajoy Executive was dedicated to cutting rights with the labor reform and changing the abortion law, and when the case of the Bárcenas papers was current.

"That is why Feijóo's leadership is touched, probably sunk," he maintains. "He said he was going to be a leader and he obeys those who appointed him and said he was a statesman and is aggravating the institutional crisis in the Judiciary." Feijóo is already a new failed leader of the PP. The third time will be the charm."

In the same debate, not only Bolaños has criticized the PP. The Vox deputy has also criticized the actions of the PP's national leadership, advising them not to speak at all with the Government: "With Sánchez, zero dialogue and frontal opposition," he emphasized. "Let's see if others begin to do the same to prevent them from being bullied and not having to make a fool of themselves".
