The third vice president of the Government, Nadia Calviño, affirmed this Tuesday that "our rule of law and our mechanisms work every day", in response to the statements of the second vice president, Pablo Iglesias, in which she questioned that there was a situation in Spain of "full political and democratic normality."

"Spain is a full democracy", the Minister of Economic Affairs also assured in an interview in

Calviño has settled the debate by adding that our country "appears at the head of all international rankings" of democratic quality.

In this line, the first vice president of the Executive, Carmen Calvo, already responded this Monday, who disagreed "absolutely" with Iglesias' position and clarified that in Spain there is "the normality of a rule of law that applies the laws to everyone equally" .

"A failure of politics"

The leader of Unidas Podemos had considered that the fact that "the leaders of the two parties that govern Catalonia" are "one in prison and the other in Brussels" was "a failure of Spanish politics."

Some statements in which Iglesias alluded to the comparison that the Russian Foreign Minister,

Sergei Lavrov

, made between the imprisonment of

Alexei Navalni

, the Russian opposition leader, and the prisoners of the

procés

, and that contradicted the position of the Foreign Minister , Arancha González Laya, who defended, like Calvo on Monday and Calviño on Tuesday, that Spain is a full democracy.

The controversy over Iglesias' words came the same day that from Moscow the response of González Laya on the matter was labeled as "western propaganda at an acrobatic level," who clarified that in Spain "there are no political prisoners", but "political prisoners. ".
