The Secretary General of the PP, Miguel Tellado, has disqualified the PSOE Federal Committee held this Saturday, to which he attributed "North Korean overtones" and even stated that "more than a Federal Council it has become a Criminal Council".
The lack of internal response, except for the stance of the Castilian-Manchego president, Emiliano García-Page, to the repeated cases of corruption that, as he has denounced, affect the PSOE and the closest circle of Pedro Sánchez, has led Tellado to assure that "Sanchismo has devoured socialism", leaving the socialists as "a party sentenced by the courts and a meek and submissive party that has decided to remain silent and swallow in the face of the forward flight of number one, 'El One', 'P.S.'", in reference to Pedro Sánchez. "What we saw yesterday was most similar to the silence of the lambs," he insisted.
Tellado made these statements in Huesca, during the closing of the XIV Provincial Congress of the PP of Alto Aragón, in which Isaac Claver has been elected new provincial president replacing Gerardo Oliván.
The popular leader lamented that the "raised fists" from the Ferraz headquarters have been replaced by "drooping arms" and "blank minds". He has held Pedro Sánchez responsible for this, accusing him of "having dissected" his own party to impose "single thought": "Today all the PSOE has the obligation to defend the corruption of the Government of Spain," he stated.
Just as the Aragonese president, Jorge Azcón, did this Saturday, Tellado underlined the almost unanimous support of the socialist barons and officials for Sánchez, a scene he considers "a replica" of that other "pathetic and shameful" meeting held in Ferraz when Begoña Gómez was indicted and they chanted 'I am with Begoña', while "they activated 'the Leires, the sewers and attacked judges and prosecutors'", he recalled.
He also ironized about the words of the PSOE spokesperson in Congress, Patxi López, when he assured that, wherever he went, he heard "millions" of Spaniards shouting 'I am with Begoña': "'I am with Begoña' was said by businessmen who submitted bids for certain tenders to corruptly obtain contracts with socialist governments. That was what happened and that is what happened to the Huesca native Juan Carlos Barrabés, for example, in the Red.es tender," he explained.
Tellado has warned that Pedro Sánchez's insistence on maintaining his support for former president José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, despite the different judicial investigations opened for six corruption offenses, is because, in reality, "he is defending himself": "The noose is tightening around 'P.S', 'the one', 'the super boss'."
Along these lines, he has stressed that Zapatero could not have acted as he did without the support of the current President of the Government and has recalled that the rescue of Plus Ultra was authorized by the Council of Ministers: "Sánchez is Zapatero's true partner, not Julito," he said, alluding to Zapatero's friend, Julio Martínez.
Regarding Sánchez's firm refusal to call early general elections, the PP's number two has argued that the head of the Executive is resisting "because he knows he would lose them" and believes that "his party has no chance with so much accumulated garbage due to the corruption of these years."
"The PSOE is on its way to becoming a party with more defendants than deputies, with more crimes on its record than laws passed, and with more years in prison for its members than years of history of its political formation," he has stated.
The Secretary General of the PP has recalled the motion approved this week in the Senate in which early elections are demanded, as well as the initiative supported in Congress in which a vote of confidence in the President of the Government is requested.
"A democracy cannot allow a President of the Government who believes himself to be above the Cortes Generales," he has denounced, before criticizing Sánchez for remaining "completely trapped in his labyrinth of judicial cases" and "increasingly alone," both in Parliament and on the street, as public rejection of his management grows.
For this reason, he has argued that "Spain demands elections now, in the face of so much theft, so much crime, and so much scandal, and citizens urge that normality and stability be returned to politics" in order to elect a new Executive "that truly deals with the problems of Spaniards."
Tellado has assured that his party sees itself as "prepared" to take on that challenge and offer citizens "a dignified, honest, and serious government," focused on "caring for public services," supporting the self-employed, the primary sector, and those who work every day to move the country forward, "not the nieces of any minister," he concluded.
Furthermore, he has underlined that the PP has won in Huesca in the last municipal, regional, general, and European elections, a chain of victories that he has attributed to the "good work" that is consolidating the party as the leading political force in the province. After congratulating Isaac Claver on his election as the new provincial president, he has asked him to get "to work tomorrow morning".
