• Politics. Pablo Iglesias reacts furiously to the news of the 'Dina case' and says he will call journalists to testify to Congress
  • Government: Pedro Sánchez avoids reprimanding Pablo Iglesias for the attacks on the press but stresses that he has never done them

The Council of Ministers on Tuesday decided that the measures promoted by the Government in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic will last until September. However, this circumstance has been displaced from focus by the attack by Podemos on the press and also by the news about Juan Carlos I's businesses. Pablo Iglesias was undergoing a hearing for the first time since the Dina case broke out . The second vice president of the Government has continued to attack critical media with his training and has even considered it "natural" for journalists to receive "insults" or "unpleasant things" from social networks.

Iglesias, despite now being part of a government , has recovered the discourse of the "sewers" and attacks on the press at a time when both he and his party are in focus due to the upset that Dina has given and the information published among the party's lawyers, who disagreed with the tactic the party wanted, or the relationship of lawyer Marta Flor with a prosecutor. Far from toning down, from the table in the Moncloa press room , Iglesias maintains the challenge.

"It will be naturalized that in an advanced democracy, anyone who has a public presence and who has responsibilities in a communications company or in the police is subject to both criticism and insult on social networks," Iglesias said. "All of us who have a public presence and relevance when it comes to participating in debates, and there media professionals have it, criticism is normal and typical of democracy. The unpleasant things about networks that we do not like are also normal "

Some statements that have not found any qualification in his classmates. This Tuesday the minister spokesperson María Jesús Montero did it; José Luis Ábalos, Minister of Transport; and Juan Carlos Campo, Minister of Justice. Only Montero has exposed the role of the media as "backbone of democracy. Without them there would be no capacity for citizens to have free criteria."

The second vice president is not in favor of pursuing these "insults" or "unpleasant things", but considers that "the law offers instruments" for those who consider that certain lines are crossed.

In his speech, Iglesias has wanted to bring to the fore the name of some journalists such as Esteban Urreiztieta , Eduardo Inda , Vicente Vallés , Javier Negre ... And he has exhibited that in his party there is "criticism" and that the "signaling" is done Vox and PP. For this, he has alluded to a rally of the Santiago Abascal party where images of journalists such as Ana Pastor were projected , or that the popular Javier Maroto told Javier Ruiz "we are going to have a problem" and then they left him without a program. It should be remembered that it was a few days ago that Iglesias himself opened the ban on criticism of Vicente Vallés, a journalist for Antena 3, referring to him in an interview as "alleged journalist".
