Montero, before the parliamentary fence of the PP: « They seek excuses to vote against the decree tariffs » | Spain

Although Donald Trump’s tariffs They are almost everything and have caused threats of state approaches between the PSOE and the PP, Wednesday control sessions at Congress are still a parenthesis and return national politics by showcase of the worst trench. The PP plan in this week’s session was clear and direct, as Trump’s most vulgar expressions and that is why they recorded a cluster of questions and a specific interpellation to fence The first vice president, María Jesús Montero, Also now candidate for the Junta de Andalucía now in the hands of the PP. Some questions ran, four, others were derived in principle to other ministers but returned like a boomeran to Montero. The idea was to underestimate it, underpin that it is weak and separated from this crisis and theorize about the reverie of its resignation. Montero did not avoid the clash and replied with a fixed argument that repeated more ministers by calling the PP to clarify at once what is his position about The American anti -barn decree freshly published in the BOE Because he suspects that « they look for excuses to vote against. »

PSOE and PP have been threatening to understand each other in state affairs of the level of the challenge imposed by Donald Trump. But that need does not question what is represented every Wednesday of control to the government in Congress. Before the absence justified by the world crisis and their international appointments of the leaders of the great parties, Pedro Sánchez in transit to China and Alberto Núñez Feijóo in Brussels, number two of the PP, Cuca Gamarra, had registered the first one question to María Jesús Montero to know “what else has to happen” to present his resignation. But Gamarra took that interest because what he really wanted was to question some aspects of the decree against the tariffs that his party has been negotiating for days because in the same the possibility that the first response plan of 14,100 million contemplates that these aids prioritize communities with companies most affected by exports to the US is required.

The PP believes that this measure is a new assignment to Junts. Gamarra reproached Montero like this: « Between Spain and your partners you choose your partners. » He added: « If they do it again they will not count on us. » That new notice is part of the complex mantra in which the PP of Feijóo navigates these days, between offering with a small mouth as a party with a sense of and its absolute distrust of any action carried by Pedro Sánchez’s signature.

María Jesús Montero did not waste that bipolarity of the PP and quickly evidenced her replica strategy. The first vice president observed that he sees the PP since Monday “looking for excuses to vote against Protective measures against tariffs «  Implanted by Donald Trump. And he bounced a question to Gamarra that later reiterated the Minister of Presidency, Justice and Relations with the Cortes, Félix Bolaños, to other popular parliamentarians who interrogated him for other issues and that put in them the current world crisis and various attacks on Montero. Montero asked: « Are they going to vote in favor of the Spaniards or will they get partisan revenue? » And he riveted by requiring the PP that is defined on whether before this scenario he will show « sense of state » and will support those measures « when the homeland needs them. » Gamarra did not respond to that dilemma and returned on the plan to undermine Montero, because in the PP they want to place it apart from the management of this moment because the president has entrusted the coordination and contacts with the other parties to the Minister of Economy, Carlos Body.

Montero found, before those accusations of marginalization of Gamarra, in which the Andalusian deputy Elías Elías Bendodo later added, that to be removed the PP gave him a lot of exposure when registering four direct questions, an interpellation on the reasons for not presenting the budget project by 2025, and in conjunction with other groups four other indirect issues.

The frame was fixed and the PP respected everything it could. The deputy Jaime de Olano, one of the paladins of the hardest and rough sector of the PP, and hammered with the message that Montero now « Estorba » and is « cornered » by Sánchez and accused the entire PSOE of being « a band. » Montero related that fixation to wear his image with the nerves that his candidacy for the Junta de Andalucía has been able to cause in the PP. Bendodo picked up against Montero as every week in Andalusian electoral code to settle the message that the vice president maintains too many charges and competitions, speaks and « puts the leg » in many rallies and, therefore, « he does not find out anything and does not give more of himself. » To the number two From the PSOE, that blessed tone seemed « macho and an alleged moral superiority » and said: « I can with the task I have. »

Montero was asked deputies of Vox, such as José María Figaredo, who returned on the mantra that the current government has risen 97 taxes, something that the vice president denied and ironized that it was not a good day for the ultra formation to support Trump talk about taxes. Junts’s economic spokesman Josep Maria Cruset said with criticism for that flank. Montero observed the multiplicity of Chamber Groups and the Executive’s need to have the support of all groups to take any proposal forward to show that if the government had increased as much as the fiscal burden was denounced in any case also with the affirmative vote of Junts.

The session, in theory, should have been on track towards other matters, but the PP deputies included in their approaches to Bolaños and other recurring allusions about the situation of Montero. The Minister of Presidency finished off the debate with the same questionless question: « You have been working with this malevolent and evil government for a few days, but the response that citizens ask for is that simple without more excuses or swings: is the PP with Vox and the outrages or with the government and with Europe to protect Spaniards and companies and there are no more. » There was not much more, although the PP and Montero then coined again with thick and loud accusations of corruption and regrets for The lack of budgets for 2025.
