The PP demands that the National Security Law in Catalonia be applied as soon as possible, given the emergency situation in the streets of the main cities. The secretary general of the popular , Teodoro García Egea , believes that "the Government has lost control of the situation in Catalonia" and all "interlocution with which it issues orders to the State Security Forces and Bodies in Catalonia", that is the Generalitat, which "has been located on a side that is not that of the Democrats."

In his opinion, "the images" of the riots in Catalonia "show the failure of the PSOE and the pacts it has reached in Catalan institutions." "You can not condemn the riots in Catalonia while maintaining pacts with those who drive these riots. You can not be with order and the law and with those who burn containers," said García Egea in Onda Cero in reference to the agreements that the PSC maintains with independence forces in some institutions, such as the Diputación de Barcelona , which governs with the support of JxCat.

The president of the PP, Pablo Casado , will meet this Wednesday at 12.00 with Pedro Sánchez in La Moncloa. There he will transmit to him that today he applies the National Security Law to take control of security in Catalonia, among other measures.

The National Security Law allows the National Executive to coordinate the Security Bodies under a single command. "The Mossos would be more comfortable if the Government of Spain were the one to coordinate," said García Egea. In his opinion, the Government of Torra "is neither qualified to control the situation nor by the work of doing so." "Torra is more with the CDRs, which he urged to squeeze a few months ago, than with the Security Forces," and that is why it seems "unfortunate" to see how the PSOE "is giving up its functions" and is limited to issue a statement, as he did yesterday while the streets of the Catalan capitals burned.

The PP spokeswoman in Congress, Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo , has gone even further and has put a message on social networks saying that just as "it is absolutely useless to appeal to the torra arsonist" it is also "absolutely useless to appeal to Sánchez, president thanks to two coup makers and still a political ally of the torra arsonist. For Álvarez de Toledo, "this fire only extinguishes the 10-N". "Spaniards, at the polls," he has apostilled.
