Azcón’s criticism in the Senate
The President of the Government of Aragon, Jorge Azcón, has expressed his discontent in the Senate regarding the Amnesty Law, describing it as an attack on Spanish democracy. Azcón’s appearance took place alongside the regional presidents of the PP and Pere Aragonés to discuss this controversial legislation.
Absence and criticism
Azcón began his speech by criticizing the lack of presence of representatives of the rest of the autonomous communities and the Government of Spain, describing it as a lack of respect. He also questioned the lack of institutional sense of some participants.
Representative of Aragon
Azcón stated that he attended the commission as a representative of all Aragonese and not of a particular party, highlighting the importance of not mocking the Aragonese community.
Criticism of the law and Sánchez
During his speech, Azcón criticized the approval process of the Amnesty Law, directly censuring the position of the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, whom he accused of being willing to pay any price to remain in power. Furthermore, he attacked Aragonés’ statements in relation to the referendum in Catalonia.
Doubts about reconciliation
Azcón expressed his skepticism regarding the genuineness of the amnesty, arguing that its ultimate objective is a transaction between Sánchez and the independentistas in exchange for votes, warning that this does not pursue reconciliation, since there is no repentance on the part of those convicted.
Attack on democracy
The Aragonese president compared the Catalan referendum with historical events such as 23F and terrorism, considering them as major attacks on Spanish democracy. In his opinion, the active collaboration of the Sánchez government in the latter makes it the greatest attack and the greatest corruption of our democracy.
Breaking principles
Finally, Azcón concluded by stating that the application of the law breaks the principle of equality and the rule of law, dividing Spaniards and generating a feeling of superiority in some sectors. From Aragón, he promised to continue opposing what he considers a shameful law for Spanish democracy.
