José Antonio Monago states that Sánchez “cannot compromise 10,000 million euros in defense and security without paying to this Chamber or Congress”
- The attached spokesmen of the popular parliamentary group in the Senate, Antonio Silván and José Antonio MonagoThey criticize “the formidable turn of Mr. Sánchez with the defense spending” and require him to have “the express support of the General Courts.”
- José Antonio Monago He struggles that Sánchez “cannot compromise 10,000 million euros in defense and security without accountability to this Chamber or the Congress of Deputies”, while denouncing “the millionaire announcement without budgets, without parliamentary control and without consensus, or inside or outside the government.”
- “Mr. Sánchez has done it with the same usual pattern: first he denies it, then hides it and, finally, imposes it without explanations, without debate and without institutional respect,” says Monago.
- The popular leader asserts that the motion of his group, approved by a large majority and the vote against the PSOE, “is not an amendment to a specific announcement, is a firm defense of Parliament as a sovereign organ, a demand for transparency and a call of attention to a way of governing that breaks with the basic rules of our democracy.”
- He ensures that the defense plan is actually “a political and personal self -defense plan, an attempt to cover the lack of direction, internal division and total project absence. The Council of Ministers does not support it, its parliamentary partners reject it and have not even presented a budget project to do it viable”.
- The deputy spokesman of the PP qualifies as “deeply antidemocratic compromise millions of euros without going through Parliament”, after which he remembers that the National Defense Law indicates that ‘the great strategic orientations in this matter must be known, debated and authorized by the General Courts’.
- Therefore, Monago highlights that “there can be no structural expense without budgetary support; and there can be no international commitments without control and parliamentary voting. It is inadmissible in any advanced democracy because it is to turn the back to the system and a contempt for the cameras,” he adds.
- In spokesperson, Antonio Silván Start your intervention by asking the Socialist Bank “if they would suppress the Ministry of Defense”, after which he reminds them that “Sánchez candidate yes, but Sánchez President does not.”
- “when it seems that it is already impossible for the president of the Government to pass a new red line, he does it with the defense policy,” says the PP senator, while highlighting that this issue “must always be a matter of state.”
- Thus, Silván rounds that thanks to the Popular Party “Sánchez will continue giving accounts to the General Courts and will have to bring the issues set by law.”
- Silván asks “how the government will finance” the increase in defense spending, as well as the Industrial and Technological Plan for Security and Defensewith a mobilization of 10,000 million euros, “when it does not have budgets since 2022”.
- After remembering that Sánchez said that the Ministry of Defense “Sobraba”, the deputy spokesman of the GPP qualifies the president of the government as “unbelievable and rigorous in such a delicate and transcendent matter.”
- He assures that, although Sánchez says that said increase in defense will not affect social spending, “there are only three possibilities: that it is a lie, that taxes will rise or increase the indebtedness.”
- Finally, Antonio Silván laments “the international image that projects this finished government, unscrupulously and surrounded by corruption”, after which he points to Sánchez as “a politician without word, without principles and without reliability.”
