El PP acusa a Armengol de trabajar “única y exclusivamente para Pedro Sánchez”
La portavoz del PP, Ester Muñoz, ha denunciado a su entrada al pleno que la decisión de la Mesa del Congreso de inadmitir las enmiendas de PP y Junts para pedir la convocatoria de elecciones demuestra que su presidenta, Francina Armengol, “no trabaja para el parlamento ni para los españoles”, sino “única y exclusivamente para Pedro Sánchez”.
Para ella, la negativa a que esta moción acredita que el Partido Socialista “tiene miedo” de que se vote en el parlamento. “Son mentirosos, que son corruptos, y ahora confirma también que son cobardes”, ha afirmado, recordando que hace un año y tres meses sí se admitió a trámite una moción de Junts con un planteamiento similar, y que la diferencia ahora es que “hoy el Gobierno no tiene mayoría”. Muñoz ha anunciado que el PP pedirá la reconsideración de “esta decisión arbitraria de la mesa” y que se reservarán acciones jurídicas porque, a su juicio, “son muchos los antecedentes”.

Junqueras defiende la continuidad del Gobierno para “cerrar carpetas fundamentales para Cataluña”
Oriol Junqueras, el presidente de Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya, ha rechazado este martes dar apoyo a la iniciativa de Junts para que el Congreso inste a Pedro Sánchez a adelantar las elecciones. El líder de los republicanos ha asegurado en X que su formación apuesta por “cerrar carpetas fundamentales para Cataluña” y por tanto le ve recorrido a la legislatura, en referencia a la quita del Fondo de Liquidez Autonómica o el proyecto de nueva financiación autonómica pactado entre los Ejecutivos catalán y español.
“Los partidos catalanes deberíamos estar centrados en hacer que el país aproveche la oportunidad y no en ir acompañados del PP y Vox para que, cuando lleguen a la Moncloa, vuelvan a gobernar contra Cataluña”, ha asegurado Junqueras, que considera que la debilidad del PSOE “es una evidencia, y, en buena parte, por culpa del propio PSOE”.
El exvicepresident matiza así unas declaraciones de su hombre fuerte en Madrid, Gabriel Rufián, que en el pasillo del Congreso había abogado por utilizar lo que queda de legislatura para “frenar la especulación” en vivienda o lograr una “fiscalidad más justa”. “¿O qué es aguantar? ¿Asquear a la gente?”, había dicho.

Junts explica que presenta la enmienda para que cada grupo “fije claramente” sus posiciones
El diputado de Junts Josep Maria Cruset ha explicado desde el patio del Congreso que presentan esta iniciativa para que el presidente disuelva las Cortes Generales y convoque elecciones con la intención de que se “fije claramente la posición de cada uno de los grupos”.
El parlamentario ha denunciado que el Gobierno “no tiene mayoría parlamentaria para impulsar sus principales leyes” y ha insistido en que, pese a que ha pasado un mes desde la interpelación de Míriam Nogueras, el presidente “ha sido incapaz de aportar ningún argumento de peso que justifique que esta legislatura deba continuar”. Según Cruset, lleva un tiempo escuchando las declaraciones y posiciones de todos los grupos políticos, y que por tanto ahora es el momento de dejar la espera.

Montero: “Estoy deseosa de escuchar qué tiene que decir Zapatero de las joyas. Tiene mi confianza”
La secretaria general del PSOE andaluz, María Jesús Montero, ha reiterado “su confianza” en el expresidente del Gobierno, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, quien mañana tiene previsto declarar ante juez de la Audiencia Nacional José Luis Calama por un supuesto tráfico de influencias por el recate de Plus Ultra y por un presunto delito fiscal y contrabando por las joyas halladas en su despacho oficial. “Estoy deseosa de escuchar qué tiene que decir de las joyas” encontradas en una caja fuerte, ha dicho la también vicesecretaria general del PSOE. Montero ha afirmado que “no sabe” si las alhajas son un regalo. “No he hablado [con Zapatero] respecto a esta cuestión, sí de otras” ha afirmado la dirigente socialista en alusión al caso Plus Ultra. Al respecto, Montero ha subrayado que el expediente de la compañía aérea “se ha visto por arriba y por abajo y nunca nadie ha encontrado nada reprochable” por lo que se ha declarado convencida de “la inocencia” del expresidente. “Si hay otras cuestiones, las desconozco”, ha destacado.
Respecto a los pagos de viajes por parte del PSOE a la llamada fontanera Leire Díez, imputada por una presunta trama para sabotear investigaciones judiciales y policiales, ha afirmado que, por lo que se conoce hasta ahora, “el perjudicado ha sido el PSOE” ya que el que dio “órdenes directas fue el secretario de Organización”, Santos Cerdán, también investigado en esta causa. “El PSOE ni financió ni protegió” a Díez, según Montero.
