The PP regrets that Pedro Sánchez does not give to Congress the explanations that Mazón will offer to Parliament

Almost two weeks after DANA fatally struck the province of Valencia and parts of Castilla-La Mancha, the center of the tragedy is now turning to politics, with eyes on the possible responsibilities of the Valencian government and the executive of Pedro Sánchez. A question that points directly to Carlos Mazón, to whom public opinion demanded his resignation during a massive demonstration on Saturday, and that the people want to transfer to all administrations, because they understand that the errors have been widespread, even s he looks to the future: “There will be time to do some sort of analysis. Borja Sémper, national spokesperson for the Popular Party, avoided at any time supporting Carlos Mazón’s management of the crisis and reiterated the position of the national leadership – unlike that of the Valencian leader – that the ideal way to make in the face of disaster was the declaration of a national emergency. “There was a lack of will to declare it,” explained Sémper, who recalled the words of Alberto Núñez Feijóo on this subject. In any case, the spokesperson avoided directly criticizing any member of the central government, taking refuge in a state party position promoted precisely by Feijóo himself. “We are not going to sink ourselves into the mud so that politics becomes more poisonous. We are aware that there will be those who will be tempted to do so and will want to take advantage of this crisis to advance a political project and we will not be there. We are not going to harass and tear down the current government, but if it had been the other way around, we would not have received this treatment. We are not the same and we want to show it”, he emphasized.

PP sources believe that it is not a matter of agenda, Sánchez will participate this week in the Climate Summit, because “he could have convened an extraordinary plenary session to give explanations and he did not do. The reality is that Sánchez goes to Congress very little. Criticisms that are made behind closed doors, because it was Feijóo himself who gave orders so that ink would not be charged against the government in the DANA affair. A decision which found detractors within the training, but which is respected. “That is not the question now,” said Sémper, who hinted that the PP would support the royal decree on aid to Valencians, which he hopes will include what the party itself has asked in a letter to Minister Félix Bolaños. Beyond the management of DANA, which did not find words of support for President Mazón de Genoa, the steering committee addressed the possible election of Teresa Ribera as vice-president of the European Commission. An election which will be discussed on Tuesday and which for the PP would be a bad decision. “We consider that she is not the best candidate nor the most competent and our colleagues in Europe also have this consideration,” said Sémper without specifying whether the Spanish MEPs of the PP will vote against or if their colleagues from the European PP will vote also. do it. “We don’t want her as vice president, but we’re not going to speculate. If we had wanted to say the meaning of our vote, we would have done so,” explain PP sources, who would not take a dim view of the candidacy of another Spanish socialist leader for this position. “Our problem is with Teresa Ribera. If they don’t choose her, we would be happy”, underline these same sources. Finally, the PP warned of the judicial week that awaits Pedro Sánchez and the government, with appearances before the commissions of inquiry and before the courts of certain members close to the Executive and the family entourage of the president, such as the appearance of his wife, Begoña Gómez, at the Commission of Inquiry of the Madrid Assembly or the testimony of Íñigo Errejón in court, accused of sexual assault.
