  • Interview Emiliano García-Page: "This amnesty brings the Constitution to its knees"

  • Survey 42% of PSOE voters, "disappointed" with the amnesty

The leadership of the PSOE has defended itself against Emiliano García-Page

's criticism

of the Amnesty Law in the interview published this Monday by EL MUNDO, pointing out that the president of Castilla-La Mancha is in a "very absolute minority."

"Everything that the comrade raises today and in previous days is very marginal within the party," stressed

Alfonso Rodríguez Gómez de Celis

, secretary of the Institutional Area and Large Cities.

In Ferraz they maintain that "in the leadership there is unanimity on the matter", but that it could also be seen in the highest representative body of the formation, in the Federal Committee, "where overwhelmingly, in a very majority way, all these steps were also supported. "and, specifically, that of the measure of grace for those accused of the 1-0.

In addition, they emphasize that "all the party's provincial secretaries, including those of Castilla-La Mancha," have also supported it.

Representing the Socialist Executive, Rodríguez Gómez de Celis has pointed out that they would prefer Page to express his opinion in internal forums, "which he does not do so much."

"Normally, their participation, for example, in federal committees is to speak at the door and remain silent inside (...). In particular, I believe that in some cases with criticism they seek easy applause from those sectors that know that if you say certain things They have their consideration," added the secretary of the Institutional Area and Large Cities of the socialists, emphasizing that, however, "it must be respected, considered and esteemed."

Furthermore, after reading the three pages of the interview in this newspaper, the also first vice president of the Congress of Deputies has said that he misses that Page has made "zero criticism of the PP."

In this sense, he has warned that he has lost "a good opportunity" when, when talking about the pacts between the two majority formations, "he could have placed criticism on the PP in the renewal of the General Council of the Judiciary [CGPJ]" and that, regarding financing, he could have focused on "the no vote in the Senate with those

less that will reach Castilla-La Mancha", after the majority formation in the Upper House knocked down the path of deficit.
