The President of the Government recalls that Aznar agreed with CiU and the PNV, negotiated in Switzerland with ETA and approved 1,400 pardons in a single day
Pedro Sanchez This Thursday he deployed a thesis very similar to the one Vox uses to attack the PP. If it were not for the extreme right party, the President of the Government has assured, Alberto Núñez Feijóo would not have had major problems when approving an amnesty law for the ‘procés’ like the one promoted by the PSOE to achieve the support of CKD and Together for Catalonia to the investiture.
“If the PP had not depended on the votes of Vox, and only the peripheral nationalism, would have approved amnesty law”, Sánchez pointed out in an interview on Antena 3, coinciding in part with the usual message of the formation he leads Santiago Abascal, which is presented as the barrier that prevents the popular from applying measures similar to those of the socialists.
Aznar’s precedents
The chief executive has employed José María Aznar to justify his words. Aznar, he recalled, agreed with CiU and the PNV, negotiated in Switzerland with ETA and approved 1,400 pardons in a single day. Sanchez has no doubt that Feijóo would have followed a similar path If the independence and nationalist parties had been enough for him to reach Moncloa.
“The amnesty perfectly embodies the values of the Constitution. Forgiveness and generosity were exercised 45 years ago. “I understand that there are citizens with doubts, but thanks to these exceptions to the norm our democracy moved forward 45 years ago and now we can ensure that in Catalonia we guarantee coexistence comparable to that of other territories,” said the President of the Government, who has reiterated that he wants to meet with Feijóo before the end of the year to address the reform of regional financing and the renewal of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ), whose mandate has expired for five years due, he said, to “lawfare” of the PP.
