Some PP senators shouted “traitor!” at the vice-president of the government and Minister of Finance this Wednesday, Maria Jesus Monteroin the Senate. Subsequently, they requested its removal from the Journal of Sessions of the Upper House. The popular They reprimanded the socialist during the speech of the PP senator Gerard Camps.
The President of the Senate, Pedro Rollaninterrupted the representative’s speech popular to say that he had noticed some shouts from the PP bench: “Sorry, Senator Camps, in this area I heard, I think, the word traitor, I please, please, your honors to maintain the decorum and the respect that corresponds.”
Once Camps’ intervention was over, the socialist senator Alphonse Gil warned the president of the Upper House that they had “heard expressions from the PP seats” like the one mentioned by Rollán, in addition to “scoundrels” and other “epithets.” “I would ask that decorum and respect for institutions be maintained” with a “reciprocal character,” Gil said, to reproach the popular: “You ask, but you don’t respect.”
For his part, the PP senator, Javier Arenasacknowledged having “heard a statement” like the one that “the presidency of the chamber” had indicated. “The second statement never took place here, no one said it shamelessly,” said the former second vice-president of the Spanish government of José María Aznar. “Another different thing is that it was said What a shame” he added.
What Arenas conceded was that they “agree 100%” that “these statements should be withdrawn.” And he took the opportunity to ask the PSOE senators “to be consistent.” “Let them do the same thing we did today,” the PP representative reproached him.
