Cuca Gamarra: "Equality policies are full of frivolity and infantilism"

Given the political clash in which we find ourselves, was it not a mistake to suspend the negotiation to renew the CGPJ? In view of the repeal of the crime of sedition and the cheapening of corruption, it was not a mistake, it was a trap. However, It has given rise to accusing the PP of failing to comply with the Constitution. Who decides who complies or not is the Constitutional Court.

It is their resolutions that determine it and the one who makes these accusations, which is Pedro Sánchez and his Government, is the one who has declared the states of alarm unconstitutional, a few royal decree laws and the violation of the rights of the deputies to the try to control the Constitutional Court through two amendments.

That certifies who complies and who fails to comply.

Are there still possibilities of negotiating the renewal of the Council? The renewal was based on the need to advance in depoliticization and independence.

It is about reforming and renewing, but that is not in line with what Sánchez proposes.

His obsession is to have maximum powers with minimum controls.

He is in charge of the Executive but he cannot control either the Legislative or the Judiciary. What conditions must be met for it to be possible? control of the rest of the powers.

Sánchez wants to have maximum power with minimum controls

The PP defends that the judges choose the judges, but they had an absolute majority and they did not promote it. Why is it so important now? Above all because it is Europe that marks that path.

The separation of powers is the fundamental pillar and independence must be guaranteed.

It is true that we could have done it when we had those majorities, but these reforms must be carried out hand in hand with big agreements.

In Spain it is necessary to recover the policy of State pacts, of the agreements between the big parties and of that spirit of the Transition that they want to erase at this moment. Citizens believe that Justice is politicized, what part of the blame does the PP? This sharpened feeling comes from the government's attempt to control Justice and the Constitutional Court.

However,

It has also been possible to see the strength of the Rule of Law that resists these attempts to weaken and control it.

I think that in the PP we have to be constructive and consolidate depoliticization.

Give all the guarantees and a little more so that feeling disappears.

That is why we will present a plan for democratic quality to advance in the depoliticization of Justice and the strengthening of powers, counterweights and independent bodies that guarantee democratic quality.

Suspending the negotiation of the CGPJ was not a mistake.

It was a trap"

If the PP manages to govern, will it be comfortable with a Constitutional Court with a progressive majority? We will feel comfortable because it is the one that has been elected in accordance with the established procedure.

And the procedures are the guarantees.

We will feel comfortable because it has been possible to renew normally and the attempt to change the election system and control it has been prevented.

We will feel comfortable because we respect the separation of powers and the State pacts of the Constitution. Even if Cándido Conde-Pumpido presides over it? Whoever it is must give guarantees of impartiality and non-politicization.

That task now corresponds to the members of the court. Do you share the idea that an institutional crisis has been generated? Yes, and in recent weeks it has worsened.

They have been the straw that broke the camel's back in a drift of institutional deterioration that comes not only from the attempt to control the Judiciary but also the Legislative.

It is a concatenation of steps that have been taken throughout the legislature and mean that 2022 will be characterized by not only an economic and social crisis but also an institutional one.

This is only taking place in Spain and the maximum responsibility lies with the president, who is the one who has unfortunately promoted it.

The King gave the alarm.

Is the PP taken for granted? We take for granted because we are aware of being guarantors, from our role of opposition and government party, of the constitutional framework.

A framework that has been attacked from the Government itself due to the transfers to the partners and the questioning of the Transition and the model of coexistence and consensus.

We take for granted the need to assume the risk situation that exists and therefore face the responsibility of working for institutional strengthening and the separation of powers. Is Pedro Sánchez an autocrat?

Do we have an illegitimate government? The government has come out of the polls and its legitimacy cannot be denied, but the president has abandoned the word he gave to the Spanish people a long time ago and has turned lies into his way of governing.

This deteriorates democracy and has a lot to do with the feeling that Spaniards have today in relation to politics.

No one can doubt that it is a legitimate government but what it is applying is not the electoral program that it presented or the government program that it submitted to an investiture debate.

He is doing the complete opposite of what he said and that means that the support given to him by the Spanish is not being matched by the facts or by government action.

That is why it is necessary that you return to the polls so that the Spanish ratify whether the confidence they gave you based on what you said and has not done is maintained or not. Do you think that if Sánchez reissues a government we will attend an independence referendum in Catalonia? Without a doubt.

I think Spain can't stand four more years of Pedro Sánchez.

We Spaniards do not aspire to a country of two blocks, but to the Spain that we build together and consolidate in the Constitution: that of harmony, coexistence, consensus and dialogue.

We have the opportunity to recover it in the next elections.

I am convinced that the Spanish will opt for that model.

Any other path is to move towards the road map of independence.

Sánchez is more concerned with his electoral shield than with the social shield

If you govern, how will you face the independence challenge? We will face it from a maxim: the future is decided by all of us.

Nobody imposes on the other part of Spain what we are going to be.

With that and with the strengthening of the rule of law.

These are the keys to democratic coexistence that Sánchez has renounced for the personal interest of continuing in La Moncloa.

The loss of the defense of the general interest for that of the private interest is something very dangerous.

Now we have a chance to stop it.

That "the only important thing is me" implies that the independence movement advances and achieves what it had never achieved and at great speed. Are the bridges between Genoa and La Moncloa broken? Let's say that these are not the best times for communication between the Government and the opposition.

This began with the arrival of Sánchez through a motion of censure, by the way, misleading, because the one who said that he was presenting himself to fight corruption is the one who today makes it cheaper in the Penal Code.

Relations between the government and the opposition must be redirected.

Sánchez broke them because he bases his policy on the investiture block that has to impose on the rest what the future should be like. An election year begins and the Government has a lot of money to distribute. How do you play against that? Indeed, the Government has a lot money to distribute but the Spanish have very little to make ends meet.

What the Government has in excess comes from its lack of sensitivity and empathy with the problems of the Spanish.

We are talking about multi-million dollar collection when the Spanish have more difficulties to make ends meet.

We will denounce that Sánchez is more concerned with his electoral shield than with the social shield.

He fills the public coffers to distribute in 2023 as if he were Robin Hood.

We will look straight at the Spanish and offer them the opportunity for change.

We are willing to wear ourselves out for them so that they don't wear themselves out. Were you surprised by the package of measures approved by the Council of Ministers on Tuesday? I was surprised that they were not taken on time and that they fell short.

This shows that Sánchez is more concerned with surviving than with helping the Spanish.

The Government does not have its feet on the street.

We are surprised that since we proposed these measures there was a constant attack, insult and disqualification towards Feijóo to end up adopting them.

If they listened more and attacked less,

With sexist violence, protection and coordination fail.

The fight has gone to the background

Do you anticipate a vote against? Not necessarily.

What he does anticipate is that we will continue to demand that they be more ambitious and be applied on time because a measure that is not applied on time is no longer effective. The CIS speaks of an advantage for the PSOE over the PP. Is the Feijóo effect deflating? The CIS has lost all credibility.

Manipulation of him makes it become a joke.

This year the PP has been consolidated as the first party, the one that Spaniards trust the most and the one that represents hope. What can be done to solve the unwanted effects of the 'only yes is yes' law? The president should acknowledge the mistake and apologize to the women.

No one voted for him to see how sex offenders have their sentences reduced or are released from the hand of a bad law.

In addition, he should have assumed political responsibilities, but it is clear that Sánchez has given up deciding even on his own government.

He cannot dismiss the Minister of Equality because that would imply ceasing to be president.

Pride prevents him from rectifying. Despite all the efforts against gender violence, this does not stop. What strategy should be followed to stop it? 2022 has been black due to the law of

.

This means that things are not being done right.

The policies of the Ministry of Equality are full of frivolity and childishness and in the end the consequences are paid by women.

Coordination and protection are failing.

The question is, has the government had as a priority to work on that or has it been on other things?

The fight against gender violence has gone into the background and the effects are there.

The Equality policy has been handed over to Podemos and it has fallen into imposing ideological laws.

The rule of law has resisted the attempt to control and weaken it

If the PP governs, will they review the Trans Law, sedition, embezzlement, labor reform, or will they repeal them? It will depend.

In what they are doing damage to society will be rectified.

We will recover the crime of sedition and introduce the illegal referendum.

The Trans Law will be repealed.

In Spain a Trans Law is needed, but not this law.

One is needed that does not mean erasing women and that provides legal security and protects children and adolescents.

It will also be necessary to modify the law of

and we will return to the maximum penal rejection of corruption.

We will carry out a different policy, recovering political and social consensus.

When laws such as Animal Welfare, Trans or Democratic Memory become laws of one part of society against another, we are not on the right track. Will the PP win the elections and be able to govern without Vox? The Spanish will have the opportunity to decide, they will be able to to recover good politics, the one of the word in front of the lie, the one of the agreement in front of the one of the attack and the one of the coexistence between different ones in front of the one of blocks of some against others.

I am convinced that we will get support in the municipal and regional governments as a first step to ratify the change in the Government with a majority large enough to do so without the need for other political forces.
