This Thursday’s control session with the president of the Junta de Andalucía, Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla (PP) had a tense, tense tone, which the PP had managed to avoid until recently, until a court decided to investigate the emergency health contracts, which the Government defends were completely legal.
The opposition, for its part, brings up the issue again and again in an attempt to turn it into a maximum scandal. And the PP responds forcefully and accuses the left of importing the “mud” of Madrid and the Andalusian PSOE to act at the dictates and according to the needs of the party at the national level.
This Thursday, on the eve of the Federal Congress of Seville, the general secretary of the PSOE, Juan Espadasforcefully attacked Moreno for the investigated adjudications – “does he respect the criteria of the Intervention or not? Are the reports a lie? Is it mud or are they the words of the interveners?” – and he replied harshly, dropping veiled warnings, as he did a few weeks ago.
Thus, Moreno Bonilla, after reminding Espadas that he managed the pandemic from the Seville City Council and that he paid for “the most expensive masks,” told him: “You want a showyou need a showbecause if not you will have a problem. He has embarked his companions [diputados] into something with unforeseeable consequences. It does not have autonomy, Ferraz sets the political strategy. These political complaints that they make are designed by Ferraz and are obediently attended to. If you believe in Justice, let it run and we will see who has to respond in the coming months or years“.
The left leaves the plenary session
The tension of the day arose at the end of the debate between Espadas and Moreno Bonilla. The PSOE deputies, once the debate was over, and when it was the PP spokesperson’s turn to speak, Toni Martin, They left the plenary hall, in an action that reminded those practiced by Javier Arenas, when he was at the head of the PP, and the PSOE governed.
The two from Adelante Andalucía did the same. The representatives of the group Por Andalucía had already left the plenary hall, as they usually do, because “they spend the entire session disqualifying the opposition and it makes no sense.” [quedarse]”, according to sources from that group.
The attitude of the president of Parliament, Jesus Aguirrewhich the left-wing parties accuse of “lack of impartiality” and of practicing “cacicadas” motivated the decision.
Aguirre was a Health Minister at the stage in which the emergency contracts currently being investigated began, for which three managers are accused. The PSOE sent a statement in which it regretted the “totalitarian and absolutely partisan drift with which Jesús Aguirre directs the plenary sessions and parliamentary life, acting more like a commissioner of the PP than as president of the Chamber“.
Aguirre had decided to eliminate from the session log the imputed word of the intervention of the Adelante spokesperson, José Ignacio Garcíawho had, in turn, also had a tense debate with President Moreno Bonilla. Aguirre did it after the PP’s request to do so.
Afterwards, Aguirre did not give the PSOE spokesperson the turn to speak, Angeles Ferrizwhich tried to demand that he do something similar after the intervention of the Vox spokesperson, Manuel Gavirawho had brought up in the debate the condemnation of the former UGT leader in Andalusia for fraud and also uttered strong words. It had to be Spadesalready in his turn, after Aguirre silenced Férriz, who asked the president of Parliament to withdraw.
Moreno Bonilla stated after the march of the left-wing deputies from the plenary hall: “I’m sorry for this absurd strategy. that the opposition groups are raising. Transfer the tension that is experienced in other spheres of politics to this serene and calm Andalusia. They want to import this way of doing politics, of the anger, of the absences, of the showa show to convey the opinion that we are all equal and make us equal from below, generate disaffection in Andalusians and that they don’t go to vote.
Moreno Bonilla’s PP in these six years had managed to maintain a certain cordiality throughoutof atony, at times, even of drowsiness, at times, in Parliament. This, after the judicial investigation, has become complicated. The tone has hardened.
Corruption
Opposition groups, not only the PSOE, also attacked the Andalusian Government for contracts and health management. The Adelante spokesperson told him: “This is called corruption. What would you say if another government had done this? We criticize corruption wherever it comes from. If the corruption is from the PP, you will not even. That’s why we don’t even look alike.”
The spokesperson for Por Andalucía reproached Moreno for “with the millions he is allocating to the private sector” through “political corruption” causing “SAS patients are second-class Andalusians.”
The president of the Board defended the legality of the contracts and accused Adelante and Por Andalucia of following the PSOE’s strategies “to the letter” – a PP parliamentarian was even heard to say under his breath, sarcastically, “let them go to Congress” while the president responded to García – and of being “a poor copy of what the PSOE is.”
Moreno also defended that his party’s idea was to change the political climate in Andalusia: “One of our priorities is to regenerate public life, every day we have sentences from the socialist stage. We have implemented preventive measures to avoid cases of corruption such as those of the past.” “Before, Andalusia opened the teletypes and news programs because of corruption; now it’s from the government“, said.
