The spokesman for the Popular Group in the Senate, Javier Maroto, said today, after the meeting of the Board of Spokespersons, that "President Sánchez is in hiding and will not attend the Senate control session during the coronavirus pandemic."
In statements to the media via telematics, the PP spokesman has assured that the PSOE opens the Senate "of lies", because they will not attend the plenary session to be held next Tuesday, April 21, "nor the Prime Minister, nor the first vice president, Carmen Calvo. They leave as maximum representative of the Government to the vice-president Pablo Iglesias ”.
"Often the role is left by the Government, let him answer the questions with Sánchez hidden," and has pointed out that Pablo Iglesias is an "acute problem" to solve an economic crisis that Spain is suffering.
In addition, Maroto insists that the next question they would ask Sánchez in the control session would be, "if you can say loudly and clearly that you have not lied in this crisis," while assuring that "we have a government that does not make decisions. or take them late and badly. "
Likewise, Maroto has criticized that the PSOE continues without convening the General Commission of Autonomous Communities. "The Senate Table approved that it will be convened immediately, but the president of the Commission, the socialist José Cruz, first took a week to convene the Table and Spokespersons and then asked for a report to study the opportunity to hold said Commission. In total 15 days to decide what can be held in Congress. Political will is lacking. ”
The spokesman for the popular in the Upper House has pointed out that “how is it possible that one day they say that masks are only necessary for those people who are infected, and now they are mandatory for the entire population; or that they say on Sunday that they cannot attend the funeral of a relative, but the next day they can go into the subway. "
According to Maroto, “the decisions of the Sánchez government are of one color one day and another the next. There is nothing worse in a leader than lies and pride ”.
The PP spokesman has also denounced the "improvisations" of the Council of Ministers and has given as an example the decision, adopted today, to defer payment to the self-employed. "The decision comes on the last day of the term that the self-employed have, when there are only a few hours left, and leaves out those women who were on maternity leave."
Therefore, Maroto has insisted that the Popular Party proposal is on the table and the government has not replied. "At zero income, zero taxes", and recalled that "the self-employed do not need plasters or patches, but an oxygen balloon."
MONCLOA COVENANTS
To questions from journalists, the spokesman for the popular in the Senate, stressed that "Sánchez does not want a Pact from La Moncloa, but a Pact to stay in La Moncloa. Sánchez uses lies to cover up his management in this crisis ”.
In his opinion, the Prime Minister "is incapable of reaching a minimum agreement," and recalled that his party is still waiting for him to respond to the proposals made by Pablo Casado. "He is not interested in pacts, but to distribute responsibility for the crisis to the rest of the political formations."
ALARM STATUS
In relation to the management of the crisis by the Autonomous Communities, Maroto has indicated that "the State of Alarm decreed by the Government consists of giving it sole command."
Thus, he pointed out that it is the Ministry of Health itself that establishes the Protocol for the count of the deceased, which obliges not to compute those deceased persons who have not had a prior positive test for coronavirus.
"The Government of Sánchez is the one who has the sole command to buy the material, but his inability means that the Autonomous Communities have to start acquiring their own resources. Let us not forget that if today the entire population is confined, it is because the Government has decreed the State of Alarm and has sole command.
