The PSOE takes to the Senate the Antitransfuguismo Pact for the last signings of the PP of ex-charges of CS and UPN

MADRID, 19 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The PSOE will take a question to the Plenary Session of the Senate this week on the situation of the Anti-transfuguismo Pact after the latest incorporations of the PP in Navarra of leaders who were previously in UPN and Ciudadanos, as is the case of the national parliamentarians Carlos García Adanero, Sergio Sayas and Ruth Goñi.

"What is the Government's assessment of the Anti-transfuguismo Pact?" Will be the question asked by the PSOE senator for Navarra, Antonio Magdaleno, during the government control session on Tuesday afternoon in the Upper House. Predictably, the Minister of Territorial Policy, Isabel Rodríguez, will be in charge of responding, since the Pact Monitoring Commission corresponds to this portfolio.

The Socialists denounce "practices of political piracy" in these three new signings of the Navarrese PP of people who had belonged to UPN and CS, but who, due to disagreements, abandoned their formations and kept their seats in Congress and the Senate and have now given the step of joining the 'popular' ranks.

According to socialist sources, the question that will be asked in plenary session on Tuesday will serve to show the government of Pedro Sánchez the "concern" about the deterioration that, in his opinion, turncoats entail for democracy.

In fact, the aforementioned sources recall that Sayas and Adanero broke the discipline established by their party and voted against the labor reform: "And all this without even being accountable to those who elected them, since they have kept the seat."

The Anti-transfuguismo Pact Commission has not met since June 2021, when, among other aspects, it assessed whether there was this practice in the Ciudadanos deputies who rejected the motion of censure in Murcia.

Before these meetings, the Popular Party decided to get out of the Antitransfuguismo Pact considering that it was not working as it should because they believed that it was being used "tortically" against them. This was communicated in a letter to the Ministry of Territorial Policy, which at that time was piloted by Miquel Iceta, and for the moment they have not returned to this Commission.

The trigger for this rupture was that political crisis in Murcia, where the motion of censure of the PSOE and Ciudadanos failed in the regional Assembly thanks to the fact that the regional president, Fernando López Miras, of the PP, captured deputies from Ciudadanos and sections of Vox.
