The leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, demanded that the government declare a state of “national emergency” before the Tragedy of DANAwhich would lead the Sánchez executive to take control of the Community of Mazón. “We continue to request, as we did on day one, the declaration of a national emergency. If you decide, you have our support“, Feijóo said in his institutional statement this Monday.
In this way, the leader of the PP transferred a series of “considerations to the Government of the Nation”, which he asked to carry out a Council of Ministers “imminent”. “The state has a lot of information and mechanisms for direct injection without bureaucracy. That victims do not have to ask for help is the minimum,” he said.
In addition, Feijóo wanted to convey that the Government has the support of its formation for “actions that guarantee the best care for all victims of DANA”. Thus, he suggested “putting in place the necessary resources and coordination instruments so that the tragedy is faced in the best possible conditions” and, on the other hand, “immediately providing aid to cities, municipalities and to the productive sectors for the most necessary expenditure.
Call for a “direct” injection of economic aid
Beyond asking for a “direct” injection of economic aid and the declaration of a state of national emergency, Feijóo washed his hands and missed the ball by assuring that “when it is most necessary that politics be at the disposal of the people, we waste time in discussions , in excuses, in absurd schedules and in expectations”. ” which citizens obviously do not understand and reject.
The leader of the PP continued on this path, ensuring that he was “fully aware of the broken relationship of trust between the Spanish and their politicians» and in which, he believes, “there must be a before and an after of all this”.
In this sense, Feijóo indicated that “a useful, humble, self-critical, collaborative and sincere policy is necessary”, later adding that “we need a policy that can look people in the eye and share their feelings as the kings of Spain did yesterday.” Thus, the leader of the PP alluded to the tense visit made by the kings and the President of the Government to Paiporta.
As the President’s escort activated security protocol and proceeded to transfer to the forward command post, the Kings decided to continue and listen to the complaints of the people of Paiporta.
A few moments after assuring that we must pursue a “sincere and humble” policy, Feijóo criticized – indirectly – Sánchez for not remaining alongside citizens in moments of tension.
Feijóo rejects violence against Sánchez
“The images that we all saw yesterday during the visits of the kings, the cries, the cries of rage, the helplessness and the fatigue of asking for help that does not arrive, are the response to a people who suffer. And it It is the responsibility of public officials, to listen to them and take care of them. The kings rose to the occasion. It is up to all of us, politicians, to rise to the occasion as well. There is no excuse or justification for this,” he commented.
“The indignation of citizens is neither marginal nor simulated. It’s very real and understandable”, defended Feijóo, who assured that “it is the indignation of a nation which cannot bear to see its patriots neglected, and which does not understand and does not share what have done those who have the sole duty of serving them.”
Later, the leader of the PP defended Sánchez, assuring that “expressions of violence do not represent us and we reject them, whether they are addressed to their majesties the kings, to the president of the government or to the president of the Generalitat” .
Although calling for the declaration of a state of national emergency, the leader of the PP cedes all command to the Executive of Sánchez and “withdraws” it from the president of the Generalitat, Feijóo insisted that his differences with the president of the government are “obvious” and “these days have not been shortened.” “But it is time to take care of the repair of what can still be repaired and the reconstruction of everything that has been destroyed. What is appropriate now is to try to find what we can all work on together,” he added.
