The appearance of Mohamed Houli Chemlal, the jihadist sentenced to 43 years by the terrorist attacks from 17-A in Catalonialast Thursday at the Congress of Deputies, the criticism of the opposition unleashed Friday. Houli took the opportunity granted to enliven Conspiranoic theories About the role of the National Intelligence Center (CNI), A show never before seen in the lower house.
The reactions by the Popular Party did not take long. The first measure, on the same day of the jihadist, was to leave the Investigation Commission on the attacks. After this decision, Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo, an attached spokesman for the popular in Congress, declared that what happened was “the living image of the moral and institutional collapse that Pedro Sánchez is causing in Spain.”
Also added about the appearance that had been «One more payment, an award to satisfy Junts and keep the fugitive Puigdemont happy ». Álvarez de Toledo ended his statement showing the initiative of his party to present a complaint to the president of the Congress, which has turned the lower house into “a Cortijo de Sánchez.”
This Friday, the PP spokesman in Congress, Miguel Tellado, took another step. He demanded that the president of the lower house, Francina Armengol, that «Put your position available and resign“By” lending “Congress” as a resonance box of the fantasies of a convicted Islamist. ” In addition to demanding his resignation, he reproached both the PSOE and Armengol to promote “the impunity of politicians”, allowing “direct attacks on judges, magistrates and even journalists.” He also criticized the creation of the Investigation Commission of 17-A, which in his opinion «I should never have existed»And that is” improper and anti -democratic. ” Finally, he suggested that many socialists feel “shame and disgust” when they see “the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party.”
The PSOE, before answering the criticisms of the opposition and the questions of the media, preferred to keep silent. The Socialists, who voted in favor of the Investigation Commission and also of the jihadist appearance to content their separatist partners, chose on Friday to focus their statements on discrediting Chemlal’s comments. Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska declared from Cádiz that “a condemned terrorist I would not pay much attention to any of its manifestations».
In the same line, the Minister of the Presidency, Felix Bolaños, who signed the words of Grande-Marlaska, adding that “it is not a good path” to give “giving” giving “Credibility to criminals». Although they did not specify whether they supported the appearance of the jihadist, they did defend the creation of the Investigation Commission that led to the statement of Houli Chemlal. «A commission was approved. The parliamentary groups decided and, without a doubt it is a competition that they have, ”said Bolaños.
Margarita Robles also decided to respond to the doubts sown by the terrorist about the performance of the CNI. The Minister of Defense declared that it seemed “unacceptable.” In addition, he insisted on the “falsehood” of the jihadist’s comments, emphasizing that the accusations expired were only “conspiracy theories” and “offenses». “The CNI not only had nothing to do,” added the minister, but her “fundamental objective is to save lives and protect them.”
Emiliano García-Page, the president of Castilla-La Mancha, was the only socialist to get out of the argument and lamented that they are justified «The most horrific things», Referring to the appearance, and that it” humile neither more nor less than the headquarters of national sovereignty. “
To this generalized silence of the Socialists was also added to adding, Bildu and the PNV, which however was not present in the terrorist’s appearance. Junts remained inflexible in his search for an alternative line. His general secretary, Jordi Turull, insisted on “the right to know the truth.” «I have been in jail And I swear that the last thing you do is get out of jail and do a testimony like that, ”said Turull, amnestized by the ‘Proces‘, who also asked the Catalan president, Salvador Illa, to claim that “everything is known.”
