As other PSOE barons have done in recent times, former socialist leader Nicolás Redondo has regretted that the Government has allowed itself to be “kidnapped by a fugitive” like the former president of the Generalitat Carles Puigdemont during an act called by the Fernando de los Ríos Collective to analyze the results of the general elections. In addition, he has predicted that the legislature that started this Thursday will be one of the “most embarrassing episodes” of modern Spain.
Redondo has harshly charged against the Executive of Pedro Sánchez for having satisfied the claims of the Junts leader to achieve the presidency of Congress. “We have accepted that the arbiter of Spanish politics is a character that oscillates between nineteenth-century Carlism and (Donald) Trump”, he lamented, calling it “inadmissible” the one that has to depend on “a fugitive politician”.
“The PSOE should know that in politics you cannot do everything that is not a crime”, he has abounded in his opinions, collected by Europa Press, reproaching the modification of the Penal Code in the last legislature. In his opinion, “it is even more intolerable that the Government of Spain allows itself to be kidnapped by a fugitive.”
“The agreement of all the anti-constitutional parties has worked at the table of Congress and it will work for the investiture of Pedro Sánchez”, the one who was Secretary General of the PSOE in the Basque Country between 1997 and 2002. For Redondo, everything indicates that the current legislature “will be on the list of the most embarrassing episodes in our modern history.”
The former socialist leader has also described what happened on Thursday as “regrettable.” And he added: “returns us to the backward Spain, of tambourinewhich the rest of Europeans saw for a long time as an anomaly”. Redondo has shown his indignation with “the so-called ‘progressives’ today”, who, in his opinion, “have returned us to the 19th century”.
