Alberto Núñez Feijóo and Pedro Sánchez faced off on Wednesday during the control session in Congress just a few hours after the agreement was signed between the parties they lead to finally unblock the General Council of the Judiciary. “I would have signed it two years ago,” the opposition leader began by justifying himself, while making a harsh intervention towards the president in a clear internal tone regarding the misgivings that the pact may arouse within his own ranks.
“What has changed?” he continued in his attempt to explain why he is now signing an agreement that he rejected just two years ago. “What has changed is that the European institutions have forced you to sign, Mr. Sánchez. And what I do want to clarify, ladies and gentlemen, is that this agreement is not to help you, as you can imagine. “This agreement is to put a limit on the voracity of your Government in controlling State institutions.”
The president this time did not enter into the rag. “For you, the fat bitch,” he responded to Feijóo. Pedro Sánchez has welcomed “the agreement and compliance with the Constitution” to the popular people. “I understand that you can make some kind of show to calm those who have led you down the path of destructive opposition. But I think it is important to value the agreement that was reached yesterday.”
“Since you welcome me to the agreement, I am going to propose three very simple ones,” Feijóo replied, in an attempt to attack the Government. The leader of the PP has asked the president for the resignation of the State Attorney General, to give orders to the Constitutional Court so that “they stop manipulating the Supreme Court and stop exonerating the socialists convicted of corruption” and has once again pointed out his family.
“Sit in front of the media and appear in Congress to explain to us everything that is coming out of your family and your environment. Explain the chalets, the residences, the trips, the contracts, the luxuries. Mr. Sánchez, those are the agreements that the majority of Spaniards believe are pending.”
And the president, once again, has avoided the collision. “Your Honor, this is a Government that governs for the majority, that has always been willing to agree for the general interest and for the benefit of the social majority. Hopefully, your honor, this is the first of many other agreements”, he concluded.
The first vice president, María Jesús Montero, has indeed kept the clash with the popular bench high during her scuffle with the PP spokesperson, Cuca Gamarra. Montero has asked Gamarra to reject the words of the Argentine president, Javier Milei, about social justice as an “aberration” during the reception and decoration offered to him by Isabel Díaz Ayuso. “He has had an opportunity to distance himself from Milei’s words,” she told the general secretary of the PP.
“You don’t hear a word against Milei, lest Ayuso get angry,” Montero said a few days after the Madrid president presented a medal to the Argentine president. “There is no equality without social justice, which they systematically vote against. That justice that some consider an aberration. Just those to whom you award medals. Equality and social justice,” he reproached her.
