Pedro Sánchez’s executive does not walk with ambages when it comes to content his government partners. It matters little that in that process the State Security Forces and Bodies come out, as demonstrated by the “hunt” that the formation of Arnaldo Otegi maintains against national police and civil guards. “Hunting” of which the Minister of Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, is participatingwhich does not hesitate to respond to each and every one of the issues that the abertzales raised at the parliamentary headquarters.
However, this disapplic attitude does not apply to the rest of the parliamentary arch. So much so that the Popular Party has requested “amparo” from the president of Congress, Francina Armengol, before “the Manifests the will of the government to avoid its obligation“And answer your questions. And it is that the last responses of the Executive about the number of táser guns that the agents have, how many times they have used them and why … it has been the drop that has filled the glass for the deputies of the PP.
Because, beyond the interest that EH Bildu may have in knowing that information, which causes outrage in the PP is The arbitrary use of the regulations governing the Congress of Deputies. While abertzales receive concrete data, the responses written to the PP only lead to interventions or appearances of those affected in the Senate or Congress. Hence, the formation led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo denounced that, despite being a “usual response” by Grande-Marlaska, it is “inadmissible that the Government evaded its constitutional obligation to answer the questions asked through the regulation channels, with the argument that they have already been answered through other mechanisms of parliamentary control. “
For this reason, they ask Armengol that in the use of the powers conferred by article 32 of the Chamber Regulations, “the Government is addressed by reiterating its obligation to respond accurately to the questions asked about which you want written answer.” They also reveal that before the Lack of response “in time and form” To the questions raised, they are included in the agenda of the next interior commission session, so that they can be answered orally.
The seven questions of the controversy
At this point, it is worth asking what are the questions that so much interest wake up in the PP and They have not received an answerdespite having been raised in February. Although they are not the only ones if they are the most controversial for their involvement with The Dana tragedy and the intervention of the ministry that directs Grande-Marlaska. Specifically, there are seven issues that generate controversy:
- What are the reasons why a Civil Guard Greim team of El Barco de Ávila that was on its way to Torrejón for its transfer to Valencia as a result of the Dana, He was folded to Navacerrada and then to his base? Who considered that I still should not act in the first days in Valenciabeing fundamental in the rescue of people? Who gave the order?
- What are the reasons why a team from the Civil Guard Greim of El Barco de Ávila that was on the way to Valencia on October 30 were retreats and They were not finally sent until November 4?
- What day the Government Delegate in Valencia requested the Civil Guard Greim rescue teams To other commanders from the rest of the territory to help in Valencia?
- Why did the Ministry of Interior not decided from the minute of the tragedy, on October 29 reinforce the deployment of the Civil Guard?
In its amparo brief, the PP insists that “the refusal to answer these already the other questions asked, injures the powers held by deputies to exercise the control function of the government and supposes a serious institutional respect“, not only in front of those who formulate them, but towards the general courts as a whole.
