The president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, this Tuesday increased the pressure on the government of Pedro Sánchez and, after having assumed the “unjustifiable error” of his formation, warned the PSOE that he would be “the only one responsible” in the face of of “history” if he does not withdraw the legal reform which will allow 44 ETA detainees to benefit reductions in their prison sentences.
In a no-questions-asked statement at a Guadalajara nursery school, the opposition leader criticized “the parliamentary thing of enormous moral turpitude” of the socialists and has repeatedly emphasized that the only one who can prevent its entry into force is the Government, even if the PP has become aware of this “indignity”, since it has the support to advance it whatever its ” sense”. of the vote”.
However, he apologized again for “unjustifiable error” of his party in not detecting the amendment during the parliamentary process. AND he avoided talking about purging responsibilities and focused on finding “solutions” before October 14, the deadline set by the Senate to approve legal reform.
If it is definitively approved, the reform of the organic law 7/2014 This will involve the removal of the additional provision that prevented ETA members from deducting sentences served in France, a measure that ETA’s entourage had been demanding for years, as reported by the newspaper El Confidencial.
This effect is due to an amendment that Sumar introduced during the presentation of the European directive during its passage through the Justice Commission. The confederal group’s proposal went unnoticed by the opposition, which allowed the text to be approved both in committee and in plenary.
The Senate has no mechanism to send the law back to Congress even if it rejects it by a majority, because no veto or amendment was presented. So when it is rejected by the Upper House – unless the government withdraws it – it will be published in the BOE.
