The PP trusts the decision of the TC and charges against Sánchez and the PSOE for joining the "drift" without "rectifying" Sicily

Gamarra says that this "has never been experienced" in Spanish parliamentarianism and Sánchez's absence from Parliament this Thursday makes him ugly

MADRID, 16 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The general secretary of the PP, Cuca Gamarra, has assured this Friday that she trusts the Constitutional Court before the decision that must be made next Monday on the appeal of her party, at the same time that she has charged against the head of the Executive, Pedro Sánchez, and the PSOE for joining the "drift" that has been opened instead of "rectifying" its spokesman Felipe Sicilia, who compared the PP's attempt to stop the penal reform with the coup of 23-F.

This has been pronounced after the words of the President of the Government denouncing an "attempt to run over democracy" by the "legal right" after the plenary session of the TC to discuss the resources of PP and Vox against the government's penal reform. In addition, he accused these two formations of trying to "gag" Congress with a "crude plot" cheered on by the "media right."

In statements to the media, before participating in a conference on the Trans Law organized by his parliamentary group, Gamarra has stressed that the words of the socialist deputy Felipe Sicilia are not only that "they were not correct" but that a "rectification" should take place. .

According to Gamarra, the "problem" is that neither Sicilia itself "rectifies" nor does the PSOE and Pedro Sánchez "rectify" it, but rather "add to that drift". In his opinion, this "drift" in the words ends up generating a context that "is not the one that this country neither deserves nor needs."

"I think that the Spaniards do know their democratic history and they know perfectly well who committed the coup d'état of 23F and who was in charge of the Government of Spain and was the center-right in this country, the role that Adoldo Suárez played, the role that Gutiérrez Mellado had, and so many others that day when Spanish democracy was put in check," he stated.

Given the fact that the PP also processed in the Government of José María Aznar amendments to stop the Ibarretxe plan through the Arbitration Law, which had nothing to do with it, Gamarra stressed that what they experienced this Thursday in Congress and it is being seen through the penal reform of the Government of Sánchez "has never been experienced in the history of Spanish parliamentarism".

In addition, he has reproached Pedro Sánchez for not being in the plenary session of Congress this Thursday because he would have "shown his face" about his reform to repeal the crime of sedition from the Penal Code as "the seditious request", "cheap corruption" and introduce two amendments to try "through the back door" to "control" the Constitutional Court.

When asked if she expects the Constitutional Court to paralyze the parliamentary process of the government's penal reform next Monday, Gamarra has assured that her formation "trusts" in the institutions of Spain such as the guarantee court.

"I trust the institutions of my country and the institutions of the Rule of Law in Spain and that is why we resort to them, following the usual procedures and seeking the protection of the Rule of Law. And therefore, I trust the decision they can make ", has manifested.

For her part, the deputy of the Popular Group Ana Pastor, who is a member of the Congress Bureau, regretted what happened this Thursday in the Plenary Session of Congress and said that "rarely" has she experienced a situation like this.

"You cannot continue with these, with these interventions that insult democracy itself and with these actions that put all democrats on edge," Pastor requested, in statements to journalists in Congress.

Given the words of the socialist Felipe Sicilia, she said that this Thursday was the "only time" that she got up from her seat to tell the president of the Chamber, Meritxell Batet, that "according to the Regulations", you cannot "insult to a parliamentary group calling it a coup plotter".
