The leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, reacted this Tuesday to the ruling of the Constitutional Court, which orders the Supreme Court to amnesty the misappropriation of the process and gives way to the return of Carles Puigdemont, stating that he "respects" the criteria of the court of guarantees, but also charging against the measure of grace. “Nothing can erase that the amnesty is another deception by Sánchez,” writes the PP leader on his Twitter account.
For his part, the Minister of Culture and Sumar deputy, Ernest Urtasun, has stated about Puigdemont's return that it is “a victory for Catalonia” and has celebrated the “dejudicialization” of the procés crisis. Meanwhile, the Council of Ministers has approved 21 new measures on housing, which include facilitating access to affordable rentals, avoiding increases and creating more housing supply, as well as fighting speculation.
On the other hand, the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, has insisted on her suspicions that the Government may “cheat” in the general elections and has once again recommended that people go to the polls to vote instead of doing so by mail. Shortly before, the PP spokesperson, Borja Sémper, had stated that the postal voting system “is a guarantee.”
The early elections have changed the scenario with which the Supreme Court worked to decide on the so-called grandchildren law. The Contentious-Administrative Chamber has given this Tuesday a period of 48 hours to the State Attorney's Office, the Central Electoral Board (JEC), the Prosecutor's Office and the Iustitia Europa and Vox parties to report on whether the court should summon the thousands of people nationalized by the Democratic Memory Law whose right to vote has been suspended since September 8 to appear in the case.
The President of the Government and Socialist General Secretary, Pedro Sánchez, will start the PSOE pre-campaign this weekend with two events, on Saturday in Dos Hermanas (Seville) and on Sunday in Ponferrada (León). Ferraz sources have confirmed that the party leader will begin the pre-campaign in these locations in separate events in which he will ask for the vote to win the elections on November 29.
The former Minister of Culture of the Generalitat and Junts deputy in parliament Lluís Puig has celebrated his new judicial situation with a message published in X during a trip to Brussels. “I got on the plane that was still chasing me, I landed in complete freedom,” he wrote.
The president of the CEOE, Antonio Garamendi, has charged from Helsinki against the general strike called by the unions. “This is not the time to radicalize people,” said Garamendi, who has been upset with the UGT and CCOO initiative since he is not clear about who it is against and what they are demanding.
Isabel Díaz Ayuso once again establishes herself as the main opponent of Pedro Sánchez and assured this Tuesday that she will study overturning the two housing decrees approved today to avoid evictions. “We are going to use the legal instruments at our disposal to preserve private property, the free market, the rule of law, legal security and the Constitution,” he thus launched a notice directly to La Moncloa.
The PP spokesperson, Ester Muñoz, has defended the guarantees of the electoral system, although she has shown her distrust of the Post Office management. “We trust all the Post Office workers, those we don't trust are the managers,” he stated.
The general secretary of Junts per Catalunya, Jordi Turull, has confessed himself exultant after learning of the lifting of the arrest warrant for Carles Puigdemont and the endorsement of the Constitutional Court for the full deployment of the amnesty law. “There is even a point of emotion,” he said during an appearance at the party headquarters in Barcelona. “Amnesty is not forgiveness, it is justice,” Turull pointed out.
