He reminds Feijóo that “the humble” whom he claims to defend are not those who have scholarships in the Community of Madrid earning more than 100,000 euros
the deputyeither patxi lopez was released this Thursday as the new spokesman for the Socialist Group in Congress asking “what is the use of the PP” and decrying the “scorched earth patriotism” and the “permanent confrontation” that, from his point of view, is practiced by the first opposition party.
This is what he said in his first press conference in the Lower House after being “nominated”, in his own words, for the position of spokesman in which he still has to be officially ratified by the plenary session of the Socialist Group.
The deputy for Biscay has appeared to explain the bill on the new banking and energy taxes that the PSOE has presented together with United We Can and has taken the opportunity to launch his first criticisms of the party led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo.
“Why is the patriotism of the PP that of the scorched earth, that of the worse for Spain, the better for me?. This is one of the many questions that López has launched in his first intervention in his new task. He has also asked himself “what for” and “who is the PP for” when he criticizes these new taxes.
“I don’t know everything”
In this point, He has refuted some statements by Feijóo in which he assured that his training serves the “humble”. “The humble are not those with scholarships from the Community of Madrid who earn more than 100,000 euros or the large companies that are obtaining extraordinary benefits, but those who are benefiting from the government’s policies rejected by the PP,” he added.
López has made it clear to the press that he does not know everything and committing to “study” what is not known in order to answer the questions that are asked. In its premiere it has already recognized, for example, not having “the details” of what was discussed this Thursday in the dialogue table on Catalonia.
That is what he has used when asked about the possibility of reforming the crimes of rebellion and sedition within the framework of the measures for the dejudicialization of the Catalan conflict that the governments have promised to promote.
What does the PP play?
In this context, has limited itself to pointing out that both parties are open “to understanding” and has once again criticized the PP for being “permanently committed to continuing to confront Catalonia with the rest of Spain and seeking benefits from confrontation and confrontation.”
“The PP’s policy is that again. Wouldn’t it be better to understand that the negotiation opens a different space and lowers the tension?” he pointed out. “The right in this country permanently likes the confrontation. What are we playing at?” She has said.
He has also been asked if he would be in favor of pardoning the former president of the Andalusian Board José Antonio Griñán, sentenced in the ERE case. “We are not at that procedural moment,” he said, resorting to the argument put forward by the Government that the sentence is not yet known, that it can be appealed, and that the private votes have not been made public either.
