The four main parties that will contest the general elections on 23-J have starred this Tuesday in Madrid in one of the first debates of the electoral campaign. Without the usual political leaders, and with the newest fighters of the new generations and youth sectors, the independent foundation has brought together Victor Camino (PSOE), ignacio dancausa (PP), Pepa Millan (Vox) y Tesh Sidi (Summer).
A debate initiated by the proposal to update the Magna Carta and promote a constitutional reform. And it is that the representative of Sumar, number 3 on the list for the province of Madrid, has been the one who has launched a clear proposal: “The Constitution should be updated based on the reality of the Spanish people”. To this, the Vox senator has responded that “the Constitution is made for the long term. Which does not mean that it is not susceptible to changes”, in addition to adding that “voting a constitution every 15 years is something reckless”. Camino, which has made a section related to climate change, has indicated that “I would establish the rights to a habitable Earth as fundamental in a Magna Carta.”
Another of the issues brought to the fore, and quite common among Spanish youth, has been the decision between monarchy or republic. Camino, which has opened the melon, has indicated that “an agreement is possible in the future with the youth of the PP to turn Spain into a republican model.” In this sense, he has opined that “King Juan Carlos would have his lights, but he ended up with many dark ones. He made us ashamed”. Sidi has also intervened in this block. Giving a very critical speech, he has pointed out that “the monarchy seems to me a feudal system. A West German-style republic would be very good.”
For his part, the president of New Generations of the PP Madrid, dancausahas quoted a phrase from Nicholas Machiavelli to point out the “many benefits” that the Royal House has brought to the country: “Republic when possible. Monarchy when necessary.” To close his speech, the popular has pointed out that “don Juan Carlos was born in Rome because he lived through the persecution of the communists and socialists. It would be a shame if the king died in a box in another country”.
In connection with the proposal for legal reforms, the leader of NNGG has recalled the reform of the General Council of the Judiciary: “In democracies you would need majorities to move things forward.” To this he added that “things have to be agreed upon and not force other parties to vote for what you say.”
