United Left (IU) on Wednesday has requested a meeting of the adding party table to analyze His role within the government and address the “unilateral decisions” of the PSOE on the defense expense. This has been communicated by the parliamentary spokesman of the party, Enrique Santiago, who pointed out that they consider “all the scenarios”, while charged against the Ministry of Interior for the purchase of ammunition to an Israeli company, although he had announced his cancellation six months ago.
“There are sufficient legal arguments so that Spain does not become an accomplice of a genocide,” said the deputy in a press conference in Congress, where he has demanded the cessation of the tender and that all those who have allowed the contract “of one step to the side.” “I have not been able to be.
In that context, asked by journalists if there is the possibility that they choose to leave the government, Santiago has indicated that any decision about its permanence or breakdown of the Executive will be adopted jointly throughout the plurinational space. “We have to take collectively, of course. At this time we shuffle all the scenarios (…) This is not a problem that adding or IU makes a decision. Unilateral decisions taken by others are those that cause certain serious consequences, “he said to add that, in any case, the main objective of adding is to prevent a right -wing government.
Defends the “loyalty” of adding
Santiago has admitted that the situation within the coalition is becoming “complicated”, since the PSOE is imposing a plan to reset when adding is acting within the Executive with “absolute loyalty.” “In our agreement There is nothing to make this rearma Or this collaboration or permissiveness with the serious crimes of Israel with the Palestinian people, “he insisted.
Thus, he has considered that all the parties that make up the Summar coalition have to Examine the open stage And the mechanisms of relationship with the PSOE, since it cannot happen that the socialist wing brings “surprises” at each meeting of the Council of Ministers, as a military expense of more than 10,000 million euros.
-In this way, he has advanced that IU will ask for explanations of how it is possible that in the Council of Ministers he reaches an agreement on military spending “without going through the General Commission of State Secretaries and without anyone knowing such serious things.”
Addar already expressed this week and the rejection of the Investment Plan in Defense through a series of observations, in which he desorbated that amount as exorbitant. “Ten billion surprises are too many surprises for a single day, for a single morning on a Tuesday,” Santiago has ironic to sue the PSOE “courage” to uncheck the demands of NATO and the United States on investment in defense.
Maíllo: The PSOE has opened the “greatest crisis” of the coalition government
Previously, the IU leader, Antonio Maíllohe has accused the PSOE of opening “the greatest crisis” in the coalition government with adding for his decisions in terms of defense and stressed that his party is not willing to tour this path.
Speaking to the media in Villalar (Valladolid), Maíllo has loaded hard against the PSOE for having made the decision to increase the expenditure in defense without previously agreed with his members of adding. “war is not fought with more weapons and with more war spiral. Therefore, we are going to refuse any armament spending advance, we will report already provoking any type of exchange, purchase or sale with Israel companies,” he warned.
In his opinion, this “irresponsibility” of the PSOE has opened “the greatest crisis we have since the Government of 2023” was established. “Obviously, we are going to ask for explanations from the Socialist Party, but it is not enough to ask for explanations, we clearly position ourselves that that path and that lane, we will not travel it,” he said.
