The PP denounced this Wednesday the “deplorable image” that Spain currently has abroad due to the crimes accused of the “environment” of the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, and denounced that international politics has been put “for sale” in favor of the executive.
This is what the “popular” deputy Carlos Rojas did during the control session in the Chamber of Deputies in his question to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation, José Manuel Albares, after recalling that the former minister José Luis Ábalos, who is in prison, had met with the Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez “under the direct order of the President of the Government, who had also ordered the former Attorney General to commit another crime” and that of Foreign Affairs a The diplomatic passport was given to his former advisor Koldo García.
“Who will trust this government? No one,” Rojas said, emphasizing that abroad they are asking “when will the next crime be committed that will be attributed to those close to Mr. Sánchez or Mr. Sánchez.”
“That is the image you have conveyed of our country, a regrettable image that must be reversed. Call elections once and for all and put an end to this farce,” he urged the Foreign Minister and emphasized in his second contribution that it was also a shame that Spain had been “without a budget for three years.”
“You have destroyed international politics. You have put it up for sale for your benefit,” denounced Flores, for whom “this is a disgrace.” “That’s why they have to leave as quickly as possible,” he emphasized.
ALBARES CALLS FOR THE WEIGHT OF SPAIN
In return, Albares argued that outside Spain there is talk of “foreign policy positions that save the dignity of Europe” due to their “coherence” in positions on Palestine and Ukraine, as well as record economic growth and job creation.
“Never in a democracy have Spain’s positions abroad had so much weight, and the coherence of our foreign policy positions has never been so applauded,” claimed the diplomatic chief.
According to Albares, it is “disgraceful” that the PP and its leader Alberto Núñez Feijoó go to Brussels to “say that they should not give us money and that there is no rule of law here”, that they dedicate themselves to “torpedoing” the official status of Catalans, Basques and Galicians in the EU, voting against the first friendship treaty with France, taking “anti-Moroccan positions” and “our approach towards the brotherly people” torpedo Venezuela.”
“This is shameful. Do you know why? Because this betrays the interests of Spain and Spanish men and women,” he stressed.
Shame on the government and the PSOE
PP MP Jaime de Olano also criticized the government for worsening Spain’s external image. “Every week we can read editorials, reports and front pages in international media that are no longer about the virtues of Spain, but about the disgrace of its government and its party and of leaders accused of subterfuge, embezzlement, illegal financing, money laundering and criminal organization,” he told Albares.
However, he stressed: “The worst thing of all is the treatment of women.” “Every day we wake up to a new case of misogyny, harassment and sexual abuse in the Socialist Party,” he denounced, emphasizing that “they are not isolated cases,” but “it is a moral pattern of an organization in which the leaders cover up for each other.”
“They have turned the PSOE into a veritable dung heap” and “the most dangerous place for a woman’s life, the chamber of horrors of the most rancid machismo,” she concluded.
Albares has defended himself by assuring that he has been asked about economic growth at the various international meetings he has attended in recent weeks, listing the international meetings that Spain has hosted in recent years as well as the high positions that Spaniards have held at international level, especially in the EU.
“You never come here to talk about foreign policy,” because “we are not interested in talking about Spain’s achievements,” he accused the “people.” Furthermore, it is a shame for De Olano that he did not mention the fact that “Europe is under attack”.
“Europe’s values are under attack right now. Freedom, tolerance, diversity. Do you know who? By the Vox Lords and their allies in the world,” he said. “This is serious,” he stressed, calling on the PP to speak out on this issue, which “is of interest in the world, in Europe and above all in the interest of the Spanish people.”
