The general secretary of the PP, Miguel Tellado, has demanded that the president of Congress and former president of the Balearic Government, Francina Armengol, go to the nearest court without delay and explain everything she knows about the mask scheme.
Tellado has spoken in Inca, the town where Armengol was born, during the PP of Mallorca congress in which Llorenç Galmés has been ratified as island president. "We'll see if she goes from prodigal daughter to fugitive deputy," the 'popular' leader stated, accusing the former leader of the Govern of having lied before the Supreme Court.
The number two of the PP has criticized that the president of the Lower House, in his opinion, has not stopped lying in her attempt to disassociate herself from a corruption plot of which she would be "directly responsible", because, as she has maintained, without her participation the network would not have been able to "steal in Baleares".
"He must leave, cooperate with Justice and stop tarnishing the name of the Congress of Deputies," he demanded, lamenting that the Spanish Parliament "has never been in worse hands, as it has at its head a person mired in corruption and a kidnapper of democracy."
Tellado has also accused Armengol of "boycotting" the activity of Congress weekly by blocking legislative initiatives she dislikes from the PSOE in the Bureau. "Even the Constitutional Court has already ruled that this behavior violates the rights of deputies, but she owes allegiance to nothing more than the personal interest of Pedro Sánchez, Number One. So Koldo's friend continues with her own agenda," he stressed.
On this line, the 'popular' has congratulated Baleares for having sent deputy Armengol to Madrid and having removed former deputy Marga Prohens from state politics. "Going from Armengol to Prohens has been like going from night to day, from a government that gave millionaire contracts to the Koldo and Ábalos plot to one with crystal pockets, transparent, that allocates money to what is really needed," he has highlighted.
Tellado has remarked that the archipelago has gone from an executive that, according to him, was drowning families and the self-employed with taxes, to another that has already allowed savings of over 1 billion euros for citizens through tax cuts. He has also recalled that before there was a government "sold to nationalism" and that now there is one that, in his opinion, governs for society as a whole and only responds to the general interest.
