Deliberations of the Committee on Petitions in 2021 (debate)
Madam President, these were some requests from Spain from 2021: fraud in the temporary recruitment of interim staff, illegal states of alarm, sexual abuse of minors supervised by socialist governments in the Balearic Islands and Valencia, and the letter from more than 2 500 judges denouncing a serious risk to the rule of law in Spain. Today the situation is dramatic. Pedro Sánchez, an unscrupulous autocrat, has agreed with the separatists who struck a blow to the Constitution in 2017 for the systematic demolition of the separation of powers and the rule of law. In the heart of Europe, the socialist government, this week, will approve a crime of sedition to free the coup plotters, corrupt the crime of embezzlement of public funds to amnesty all political thieves, and assault – in violation of the Constitution – the judiciary and the Constitutional Court, putting an end to the rule of law. We live in a direct blow to the rule of law and you continue to protect a government that wants to take Spain to its darkest times while blackmailing conservative governments. But Spain is neither negotiated nor sold, Spain defends itself. It is what millions of Spaniards are going to do until the end of their days, with you or without you.
