Tensions in the control session to the government in the Congress of Deputies. The third vice president of the Government, Teresa Ribera, questioned the position of the PP after the deputy César Sánchez accused her of “not to prevent or manage anything” of DANA.
During his speech, the “popular” man criticized him for not having “protected persons” and not having adapted the Poyo ravine. “He is responsible for not having been warned,” he said.
Some accusations to which Teresa Ribera responded by holding the PP responsible for stopping the actions and planned emergency works in the Poyo ravine, in Valencia, one of the areas where the floods of October 29 occurred. “It’s a shame that the work was not carried out in 2012. It’s a shame that even Japan understands the red notice, but the Generalitat has such difficulty reacting,” he stressed.
She thus accuses the PP of having abandoned a project that she herself had signed above the ravine when she was Secretary of State.
On the other hand, in response to the question asked by César Sánchez if he did not feel the need to go to Valencia, Ribera responded by assuring that will travel to affected areas.
“They have no respect. Let’s be serious. If they consider it climate dogmatism, if they make fun of the red notices of the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET), it is difficult to draw conclusions to respond well to the next calamity,” he said. concluded.
During his speech to Congress, he also experienced a clash with Miguel Tellado. The parliamentary spokesperson of the PP accused Teresa Ribera of “a minister on the run” and of “unprecedented political fraud.”
“Today you are here obliged. We had to jeopardize the only thing that matters to you, your future in Europe, for you to be here today showing your face,” said Tellado, who told him criticized for not having gone to Valencia from DANA. “I don’t know how you manage to sleep peacefully,” he pointed out. Afterwards, he asked her if she thought she was qualified to be a European commissioner.
Although in his first response Ribera responded calmly to Tellado and advocated for asking “explanations from everyone”in her counter-response, she has already shown herself visibly angry at the attacks of the “popular” spokesperson. He called her “incompetent” and “extremely selfish” and accused her of canceling the Poyo Ravine pipeline and draining project in 2021 for “intransigence.”
