"One of the issues that the government places the most emphasis on is lying."
The GPP spokesman in the Senate, Javier Maroto has asked that the two ministers Montero and Marlaska leave the Government "Both should be dismissed by Sánchez, if Sánchez had a drop of dignity."
This is how Javier Maroto reacted to the different issues that we have learned about in the last few hours: the video of the Minister for Equality, Irene Montero. in which the poor attendance at the 8M demonstration was justified by fear of the coronavirus.
In addition, Maroto was referring to the appearance of the Interior Minister, Fernando Grande Marlaska, in the Senate Interior Committee, last Friday when he assured that neither he nor anyone in his ministry had requested information about the 8M report that had been made the Civil Guard.
Maroto has assured that, in today's plenary session in the Senate, the PP would ask several questions about "one of the issues on which the Government places the most emphasis: lies."
In this sense, he has assured that Montero lied about his knowledge and that of the Government, about March 8 and the number of infected in the pandemic. "Last week, on Friday, Marlaska lied in the Senate about the data revealed about his interference with the Civil Guard."
According to Javier Maroto, "if you see the video of Montero laughing and recognizing that the 8 M was already highly contagious," you think that there can be nothing worse in the government, "says the popular spokesman, adding," then You see Marlaska lying, without turning red, about the Civil Guard and, you see, yes, it can still be worse ”.
"Both should be dismissed by Sánchez – Maroto said – if Sánchez had a drop of dignity, but he does not have it," he affirmed and demanded the dismissal of both ministers. "The PP asks that the two ministers leave the Government because the only thing that does not go out with Sánchez is indignity and lies."
