UP criticizes Feijóo for wanting to repeal the Memory and Censorship Law that blocking the CGPJ does "attempt" against the transition

MADRID, 6 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The deputy spokesman for United We Can in Congress and leader of the IU, Enrique Santiago, has charged against the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, after reiterating that his party will repeal the Democratic Memory Law once he is in power because, in his trial, "attempts against the spirit of the Transition".

Through Twitter, the also general secretary of the PCE has replied that "recognizing the rights of victims of human rights violations and annulling the measures of the dictatorship to persecute the democrats does not threaten anything."

Moreover, he has accused the president of the PP that "kidnapping the Judiciary, breaching the Constitution or calling the government illegitimate, does challenge the transition."

Yesterday, the plenary session of the Senate definitively approved the Democratic Memory bill that the Government agreed with Bildu, Más País, PDeCAT and PNV. The Upper House has rejected the vetoes of PP, Vox, Ciudadanos and UPN and has not accepted any of the 521 amendments to the text that came from Congress.

This law, which represents a deepening of the 2007 Historical Memory Law, was approved in the Council of Ministers almost a year ago and taken into consideration by Congress in October 2021, but two months later it was put in 'the fridge' when The Government does not see enough support to carry it forward, since the opposition of the PP, Vox and Ciudadanos was joined by the initial rejection of ERC.

It was last June when the project was removed from the drawer to reactivate the processing, once PSOE and United We Can had approached positions with other minority formations. Thus, the Democratic Memory Law passed the presentation phase after introducing several amendments agreed with Bildu, PNV, the PDeCAT, Más País and the Canarian Coalition.
