  • The opposition. The PP takes to the streets in Castilla-La Mancha and Extremadura to ask for "the vote in conscience" of the deputies of the PSOE

There are no cracks in the opposition of PP, Vox and Citizens to the investiture of Pedro Sánchez. The three seem an affront to the Constitution . That is why Pablo Casado has started his speech today vindicating the Constitution and Felipe VI, to defend them against the attacks of ERC, Bildu and the CUP. Those words have provoked the applause of Vox and shouts of "Long live Spain!" and "Long live the King!" on the right bank of the Hemicycle. After that, he wanted to "pay tribute to all the victims of terrorism who were outraged" on Sunday in Congress by "the executors of ETA".

In a speech read, and more solid and finished than the previous ones in this investiture session, Pablo Casado has described Pedro Sánchez as "ultra" and has shaved him to have allied himself with parties close to the two great enemies of Spanish democracy : "The terrorists and the coup plotters." All because of the "pathological personal ambition" of the president, who will form "the most radical government in history." "You have agreed to remain in government at the price of changing the regime." That is, "with the aim of overflowing the 78 system," and not because it does not work, "but because it works, and very well, against its partners."

For Casado, when Sanchez talks about dejudicializing the Catalan crisis "he is taking the sword from Justice to stick it in the back to the separation of powers." "Ultra is you and everyone who supports you," he criticized. "Now you have the dilemma: either deceive your allies or Spain will break," he said.

He has accused him of "being more comfortable with those who attack than with those who abide by the Constitution." And that means that Sanchez is no longer constitutionalist, in the opinion of the president of the PP. "You just have to keep" the legacy of the Transition, and not "do it again", he has urged. "We will never propose that fear change sides, because we have no side, because a country is not two sides." And in the case of Sánchez, it is not like this: "Your only country is you," he said to the president.
