CC rejects “the labels” and waits for a call from the PSOE to negotiate

“Those who believe that I have come here to make one man or another president are mistaken,” he said, “I am here so that Canary Islands be heardso that whoever governs respects our Statute of Autonomy and our REF as the rights and singularities of other nationalities of the Spanish State are respected,” he added.

In his speech, Valido ratified his vote in favor of Feijóo’s investiture due to his commitment to the demands of the Canary Islands, but asked “that no one seek our support.” ideological reasonsbecause there aren’t any”, and defended that the negotiations to support an investiture “do not involve accepting anyone’s ideological heritage”, but rather agreeing on policies and closing the agreements that the Canary Islands need from a future Government.

Faced with the voices of the progressive sector that accuse Canarian nationalism of having “surrendered to the right”, the nationalist deputy reproached the short memory and recalled that CC has voted with the left the historical memory law, the trans law, the abortion law, labor reform, the increase in the minimum wage and pensions and the euthanasia law. A few days ago they also supported the use of co-official languages ​​in Congress.

“It is very easy to understand, we are committed to those who are committed to the Canary Islands, to their demands and to the fulfillment of their rights,” he explained, “this is what we ask of the PP, exactly the same what we ask of the PSOE,” he added.

Along these lines, once Feijóo loses the second vote tomorrow, the nationalist deputy reiterated her party’s willingness to sit down and talk with the PSOE to negotiate an eventual investiture of Pedro Sánchez. “It is their turn to call if they are interested and want our vote,” he said in a group with journalists at the end of the session, “they already know what our demands are because we deliver them to them at the same time as the PP,” he added.

The fundamental difference is that a future negotiation with the PSOE will be inevitably conditioned for the socialist willingness to approve a amnesty law which rejects DC input.

“We will have to know first what are we talking aboutbecause at the moment Sánchez has not named the amnesty,” Valido stated, “they will have to explain it, and if they finally put the amnesty on the table, we will have to see with what scope and under what terms and it will be the dc address the one who decides whether we support Sánchez or not,” he added.

For his part, in his turn to respond to CC, Feijóo thanked the Canarian nationalists for their support and guaranteed that the 137 deputies of the PP They will defend the Canarian interests despite not being in the Government, as Valido had asked him the day before.

«There is a Canarian agenda that is signed and is public and transparent, to which we have committed ourselves as partners of the Government of the Canary Islands and as a majority group in the Cortes, and we will work from the opposition to advance these common objectives,” said the PP leader.
