The chronicle | Sanchez defends the attorney general and escapes the accusations of the PP | Spain

This time a partner, one of the most faithful. « We need to concrete, Mr. Sánchez, » the PNV spokeswoman, Maribel Vaquero, who tried to start commitments to protect the Basque industry begged the president. But this Wednesday at Congress, in the last control session to the government before the summer, Pedro Sánchez who has been giving journalists on the job of completing much. Neither before the PNV nor, above all, before the usual cascade of accusations of the PP. The president did to show his SECURITY WITHOUT SECURITY TO THE State Attorney General, Main object of the opposition offensive, and to overcome everything else.

The insatiable current machine and the eagerness of the PP to proclaim « every day a new scandal » devour events at supersonic speed. Last week, the government seemed to stagger in the case of Leire Díez and the consequent narrative about « the sewers of the PSOE ». It was that episode that led to the PP To convene a demonstration in Madrid with the tremendous motto of « mafia or democracy. » Three days later, Alberto Núñez Feijóo finally had Sánchez in front of the Congress. Nor mentioned Leire Díez. Nor did the word mafia come out of his mouththe great hit of the previous week and that this Wednesday gave symptoms of being fashionable. Now the big issue is the prosecution of the Attorney General. And he dedicated Feijóo his energies.

The opposition leader began with an accounting balance of the president’s silence: « 43 days without responding to anything or anyone. He is hidden in the typical autocrats bunker. » He accused the government of « calling the Supreme Court prevar », a certainly broad interpretation of the Criticisms of some ministers to the judge who has prosecuted the prosecutor. After appealing to the classic argument that « he cannot pursue the crime who has allegedly committed it, » Feijóo demanded that Sánchez dismissed Álvaro García Ortiz for « serious breach of his duties. » That is one of the possibilities contemplated by law to force the cessation of a head of the Public Ministry, provided that it has the endorsement of the General Council of the Judiciary and Congress.

In principle, Sánchez left his unequivocal support for the prosecutor. He did it with almost identical words to those employed on Monday by the Minister of the Presidency and Justice, Félix Bolaños: « Do not be wrong, between a prosecutor who chases criminals and criminals (in reference to the couple of Isabel Díaz Ayuso), the government will always be with prosecutors. » That said, Sánchez stunned the first chapter of his manual to avoid the lunge of the opposition: the litany of figures that illustrate the achievements of the Executive, which this time reached up to the kilometers of installed optical fiber.

Feijóo expanded the focus on the replica with other recent issues such as The registration at the domicile of former Minister José Luis Ábalos. Leire Díez and the mafia were left in the drawer again. Sánchez « alters coexistence » and « wants to destroy justice, » Feijóo attacked. Ergo: « It is a real danger to democracy. » The opposition leader alluded to the new information about alleged handling of Santos Cerdán and called on Sánchez to respond if « endorse » the secretary of organization of his party. The questioning, of course, did not respond. And went to the second chapter of the manual: air the miseries of others. The president attributed to Feijóo the « mirror psychology », accusing others of what oneself commits. Starting point to bring out the classic list that covers from the old friendship of the PP leader with Marcial Dorado to the various corruptions of his party.

The popular struggled to start some frontal attack on the judges to the rest of the government, again with the argument that they are accusing them of prevaricating. The ministers raised a wall. Neither Bolaños, nor the spokeswoman of the Executive, Pilar Alegría -who had indicated from the Chamber of the Council of Ministers that “some judges are doing difficult things to understand” -they pronounced a single criticism. Nor was the PP successful in its attempt to cause some reproach to the PSOE by the Second Vice President Yolanda Díaz. Deputy Noelia Núñez punctured the leader of adding telling her that « Chapotea in the Ferraz sewers. » The ways of his speech were given so scripted and rehearsed that Díaz answered with Sneak: « You have to practice a little more. »

If it was possible for a moment that the PP vocabulary had already banished the word mafia, Miguel Tellado arrived soon to recover it. Then he resonated again in the mouth of other deputies, including Vox spokeswoman, Pepa Millán, who claims the Copyright having been the first to equate the government with the Sicilian criminal brotherhood. The one that was recreated more in parallelism was the popular Ana Vázquez, who shouted « Pelle de las Cloacas » to the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, while this-almost always imperturbable-remembered him The adventures of the Patriotic Police at the time of the Government of Rajoy.

In the offensive against Sanchismo, the difference between suspicions and proven facts has been erased. It is enough that it is published that the UCO is investigating whether Ábalos could charge commissions for rigging contracts, so that Cuca Gamarra arrives and demands explanations to Vice President María Jesús Montero about “the contracts that Mr. Ábalos enchanted in exchange for commissions”. Thus, directly, without alleged or hypothetical. Another popular stilettes, Elías Bendodo, exhibited digital information The debate in which an unnamed entrepreneur claims to have bribed to a high position in the department of Montero. « You are in the contest to see who says it fatter, » lamented the vice president. But he did not answer. She also followed the manual: « Bulos », « mud machine » and the retahíla of old shame of the PP.
