Socialist barons close ranks with Sánchez after Feijóo’s calls for rebellion


The PP has called on the socialist barons to rebel against the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, for the reform of the crime of sedition and has asked them to reject it. This claim, however, is not succeeding, and there are already several PSOE barons who are siding with the leader of the Executive.

“I think it is convenient that we look like Europe”, said the president of the Balearic Islands, Francina Armengol, who has remarked that she supports the Penal Code “adapting to European regulations” and considers that the Government reform “has all the normality of the world”. Armengol’s statements have been made in the plenary session of Parliament, in response to Vox spokesman Jorge Campos.

Thus, the leader of the Balearic Executive has accused the far-right deputy of having “absolutely null” legal knowledge and has assured that it is when the right governs “when there are more independentistas and when more people want to separate from Spain”.

For its part, in Castilla-La Mancha, its president, Emiliano García-Page, has told Feijóo that the PSOE does not have to be the solution to the “political impotence” of the PP. In statements to the media this Tuesday in Toledo, Page has indicated that “they must be doing very badly [en el PP] if they expect the PSOE to lend them a hand”.

The Castilian-Manchego president has affirmed that he “will not cheer” the presidents of the PP so that they position themselves against Feijóo. “I don’t think it’s the way to go”, he has riveted, to add that “each one has to defend their terrain”. Asked what the PSOE will do when it comes to positioning itself in this regard, he has said that it will proceed to comply with what “the majority of the group” says.

“It is incredible that the PP attempts a socialist rebellion against Pedro Sánchez”, the president of Aragon, Javier Lambán, has launched in a Twitter message. In the text, he has highlighted that he “is against suppressing sedition”, but has sent a clear message to the party led by Feijóo: “Do not count on me for your strategies”.

The president of Aragon has assured that if the PP really was “alternative” and believed “in itself” it would present the motion. “They don’t dare”, he has sentenced him.

For his part, the president of Extremadura indicated this Friday that with the Government of Sánchez and this reform, “what has been broken is the independence movement and the ‘procés’. This is how Guillermo Fernández Vara positioned himself in a message on his Twitter profile, in which he acknowledged that “five years ago Spain was broken” after the PP “had two independence referendums and a DUI.”
