Yesterday the Bloc claimed the presidency of the commission of inquiry into the Xunta contracts or, as they call it, the “shenanigans” of the PP. As the party’s first vice-spokeswoman, Olalla Rodil, explains, the nationalists understand that It is “justice” to chair this bodyautomatically created by the party when it meets the condition of having a third of the members of the Chamber. A proposal rejected by the people, who demand that their majority in the House be “respected”; and they criticized the fact that before starting, value judgments are made and results are anticipated. “False” accusations, they argue, for which they hope to receive an “apology”.
Once a commission of inquiry is created, it must reflect the composition of the House. In this case, the BNG affirms that “taking into account the fact that it was created thanks to the strength” of its 25 deputies, it seems “fair” that the table is chaired by a nationalist deputy, without modifying, as provided for the law, the correlation of parliamentary forces. A proposal to which the people opposed in what the BNG defined as a “lack of generosity” to immediately wonder about the reason for this decision: “Perhaps it’s because they want to maintain work rhythms,” Rodil said.
Likewise, the nationalists also asked for speed in the deadlines, proposing a deadline of one month to approve the regulations and the work plan, so that it does not end “like other parliamentary commissions, in which the PP has not the slightest interest.” “For having moved a piece of paper, asleep the dreams of the righteous,” declared the nationalist vice-spokesperson. In addition, he reiterated that they would request the appearance of Alfonso Rueda and Núñez Feijóo, who “hope” that they will be present: “Otherwise they would show that everything is not so good, that everything is not so well done.” For now, what is clear is when this commission of inquiry will be created: it will be this Friday, October 4, in the Galicia Chamber.
the same respect
For his part, the popular spokesperson, Alberto Pazos, assured that his party had “enormous respect for the 25 deputies of the BNG” and then demanded from the nationalists “the same respect for the 40 deputies of the Popular Group”. “The BNG boasts of the strength that the Galicians gave it to be able to establish this commission. I should respect a little the strength that we Galicians have given to the members of the Popular Party to preside over the bodies that are constituted in this Chamber.“, he said.
“In any case”, he continued, he does not consider that “the best letter of introduction to chair a commission is to anticipate the results”, speaking of “shenanigans” and “to impose false accusations “. Indeed, when it is achieved, he said he hopes “that the same people who have not had the slightest hesitation to question the honorability of certain people, will deploy exactly the same efforts to publicly apologize, This once again shows the “calmness” with which the people have already declared that they are facing this commission.
Regarding whether the party’s regional and national leaders would appear, he did not give details, saying that “they will cross this bridge when the river comes”; but he expressed his desire to “accelerate the deadlines as much as possible”. “It was we who proposed that it be established this week“He recalled, emphasizing that, yes, there are certain moments that must be respected.
