• Marlaska Congress, in the hands of the PP: an investigation commission is opened after seeing the videos of the Melilla fence

  • Sánchez defends Marlaska in the Melilla tragedy: "He has all my confidence"

The PP has demanded this Tuesday the "cessation of the Minister of the Interior", Fernando Grande-Marlaska, due to the tragedy that occurred at the Melilla fence on June 24, in which dozens of migrants died.

"Better today than tomorrow", Pedro Sánchez has been exhorted by the national coordinator of the

popular

,

Elías Bendodo

, at an educational convention in

Bilbao

.

The 'number three' of Genoa believes that "if corpses have been transferred from the Spanish border to the Moroccan side, as we have all been able to verify in the images", that means that Marlaska has "lied" and, therefore, must be relieved of your charge immediately.

"He said that no" bodies had been transferred from the Spanish to the Moroccan side, Bendodo stated, "and we have all seen" that it was not so, he insisted.

"To this day we do not know exactly the number of victims or the orders that were given from the Interior," lamented Bendodo.

"We ask Sánchez to show his face and give explanations" and not "barricade himself" behind the State security forces and bodies, he added.

It must be remembered that, as EL MUNDO has advanced this Tuesday, the PP has already opened up to supporting a parliamentary investigation commission to clarify the facts, despite the fact that it voted against it in September.

But the new revelations from the BBC have made Alberto Núñez Feijóo's team change their pace: "We are increasingly concerned about the opacity, the obstructionism and the lack of information on the Melilla tragedy by the Government of Spain", has Bendodo said.

So, for the PP, Marlaska is already in the pillory.

If he is not kicked out, the main opposition party will try to fail him.

Finally, Bendodo has claimed to better equip the Civil Guard of the Melilla border, which carries out its work in "very improvable" conditions.

"And we want to know if they have received any indecent order from their superiors," added the 'number three' of the PP.

In Vox they also take the opportunity to target the minister who has the most reasons to leave the Executive, according to what they defend.

"We have many reasons to request the resignation of the Minister of the Interior for a long time," the party's spokesman in Congress, Iván Espinosa de los Monteros, said on Tuesday.


In Santiago Abascal's party they believe that the visit of deputies to Melilla has only served to criminalize the security forces and bodies that ensure the normal functioning of the border, which is why they declined to attend the trip to the autonomous city .

"We are not going to allow the enemies of the nation to instrumentalize the Civil Guard. They deserve much more support and respect to defend the borders," Espinosa de los Monteros expressed in criticism of the visit to the fence.

One more reason, they explain in Vox, to demand the departure of Grande-Marlaska from the Executive.
