The general secretary of the PP, Miguel Tellado, has lashed out at the Minister of Defense, Margarita Robles, whom he has labeled as "cynical" and has defined as "a judge who betrayed herself" for continuing in Pedro Sánchez's Executive. Furthermore, he has emphasized the "responsibility" of the minister in the management of the migratory crisis in Ceuta.
The 'number two' of the 'populars' has commented on the images in which the Defense Minister is seen applauding with less intensity than the rest of the ministers during Pedro Sánchez's speech in Congress, in which the president informed about the migratory crisis in the autonomous city after the massive entry of 80,000 migrants from the border with Morocco.
Likewise, it has been highlighted that Robles also did not join the applause for the head of the Executive when he announced that he would make public the Intelligence reports related to the prior warnings. After the parliamentary debate, the minister explained to journalists that she continues to be "proud" to belong to Pedro Sánchez's Government, in which she has been since 2018, and to be at the head of the Armed Forces, while defending her right to gesticulate and express her emotions in public.
"TOTAL POLITICAL DIGNITY LOST"
Tellado has warned Robles that "putting on faces and applauding half-heartedly" will not free her "from the same responsibility as her colleagues." "She is mistaken. It only makes her cynical," he has reproached her in a message published on the social network 'X', collected by Europa Press.
In the same vein, the general secretary of the PP has stated that "the memory of this country" will remember the Minister of Defense "as a judge who betrayed herself, a Sánchez supporter like no other." "A coward, according to Sánchez. And with total political dignity lost," Tellado has emphasized.
