The PP "has all possibilities open about the extension of the state of alarm although, to this day, the conditions are not in place" to support it. This was stated by the party's secretary general, Teodoro García Egea. The popular ones debate between abstention and no, with a little more respect to the first option, although no official source in Genoa can still "assure" that this will be the final option. They await their moment.

García Egea has assured that "a government that has been able to get Pablo Iglesias to sit in the CNI in a pandemic in 24 hours is capable of doing everything" from the legislative point of view, hence his refusal to opt out now. The main opposition party is waiting for the government to make a gesture: to separate the ERTEs (and the rest of extraordinary social aid) from the state of alarm. For this reason, those of Pablo Casado presented an amendment asking for it yesterday, as this newspaper reported.

In an interview with Antena 3, García Egea has proposed a "plan B" to replace the state of alarm and apply, instead, the National Security Law , the Public Health Law and the Civil Protection Law . "These are the three pillars on which economic recovery and de-escalation must be based," said number two of Casado. In this way, the PP believes that it would "guarantee" the sole command in health and to make decisions regarding the control of mobility of the Spanish.

Although he assures that "Sánchez does not deserve the trust of any group", García Egea is aware of the consequences of his party overturning the state of alarm, so he has asked the Executive to organize "the aid" and "untie the ERTEs of the alarm state. " "The legal architecture of the Government is based on an all-powerful power for Sánchez that has as a consequence a great responsibility that he has not known how to exercise," he added.

The PP deputy secretary of Communication, Pablo Montesinos, has criticized the "threats and blackmail" that his training has received after denying support ("today") for the extension of the state of alarm. The Transport Minister, José Luis Ábalos, went on to assure that the election is "a state of alarm or chaos", and both he and the spokesman for Unidas Podemos in Congress, Pablo Echenique, blamed the PP for the "thousands of deaths" that there could be.

"The Government should rectify. Ábalos should apologize, not to the PP, but to all the voters of this party and to millions of Spaniards who do not understand these accusations," Montesinos, who has also urged the Council of Ministers that is taking place today, has made them ugly. to untie all the economic measures approved to alleviate the effects of this crisis from the state of alarm.
