Congress wanted to avoid political anger this Wednesday, but it has been impossible. The Popular Party does not accept the decision of the presidency of the Chamber to suspend the Government control session, but maintain the plenary session for the validation of the RTVE decree, which began to be debated around eleven in the morning.
“This attitude is despicable. They are not fully aware of the seriousness of the decision they have adopted,” said Alberto Núñez Feijóo. The opposition leader has harshly attacked the Government: “I have seen many things in politics, I have witnessed many moments of moral turpitude, but I think none like this,” he said in a statement without questions from the Congress of Deputies. Feijóo accused the Government of having “selective respect for the victims.”
Thus, the PP deputies will not participate in the plenary session on the RTVE decree. Neither do those of Vox. “We cannot face the hypocrisy of suspending the ordinary plenary session and automatically, without any excuse, convening an extraordinary plenary session with a single item on the agenda,” said the opposition leader.
The PSOE spokesperson, Patxi Lopezhas defended that parliamentarians must continue “working” normally and that the objective of suspending the control session has been to free the ministers so that they can work on managing the catastrophe caused by the DANA and avoid the image of political tension that plenary sessions of control usually leave to the Government.
The PP has announced that Feijóo will travel this afternoon to Letur, one of the towns most affected by DANA in Castilla-La Mancha, in the company of Emiliano García Page.
