Alberto Núñez Feijóo insists that Spain is not condemned to “decide between accepting the blackmail” of Carles Puigdemont “or new elections”, but that there is a third way: a state pact between PP and PSOE to improve the “fit” of Catalonia in Spain, but within the Constitution. In other words, a new “embrace” between Spaniards, within the law.
“We have to find a way to fit the territorial problem of Catalonia, but that will be with a State pact or it will not be. It will be done in accordance with the law or it will not be done, it will be done within the Constitution or it will not be done,” he stressed. leader popular in a press conference after his meeting, in Tenerife, with the general secretary of the Canary Islands Coalition and president of that autonomy, Fernando Clavijo
To do this, Feijóo has claimed to “try another contact” with the PSOE, after his meeting last week with Pedro Sánchez, in which both confirmed their insurmountable differences. “My hand is still outstretched to the PSOE. Now, if possible, with more intensity, so that Spain does not fall into the democratic anomaly that a person wanted by the Justice decides the future” of the Spanish, Feijóo stressed.
For the president of the PP, if Sánchez gives in to Puigdemont’s maximalist demands, democracy and even the very concept of the Spanish nation would be at stake. “I cannot accept a Spain where the principle of equality breaks, a Spain where the law is not complied with. I cannot accept that a part of the Spaniards who they have broken the law have a letter of marque to continue committing crimes,” he emphasized.
But it has not stopped there. Feijóo believes that Spain would no longer be a full democracy if all the process. “I cannot accept that Spanish democracy is just like a dictatorship and that therefore there is room for amnesty for crimes committed that threaten democracy”, he said. “I cannot accept that Spain does not continue as a nation after 500 years of existence. And I cannot accept financing the independence movement,” he concluded.
