“Sánchez will be able to be invested in the first vote with 179 votes. It is one of the most supported investitures of the last 20 years in Spain, which reflects the essence of freedom and parliamentary democracy,” highlighted the leader of the Canarian socialists.
He Secretary General of the PSOE Canary Islands, Ángel Víctor Torreshas celebrated that this “intense week” has culminated with the agreements so that Pedro Sanchez remains president, even exceeding the 176 votes that are necessary for the majority.
“Sánchez can be invested in the first vote with 179 votes. He is one of the most supported investitures of the last 20 years in Spainwhich reflects the essence of freedom and parliamentary democracy,” highlighted the leader of the Canarian socialists.
In a press appearance held this Saturday at the socialist headquarters in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Torres highlighted the support of all the progressive, left-wing and nationalist parties and added that the agreement between PSOE and CC “will give stability to the country and is favorable for the reality of the Canary Islands”.
The Canarian socialist leader has reviewed the most important features of the negotiations with the Canarian Coalition that were opened from the first moment after the 23J elections and that have culminated with the materialization of a “very good agreement for the Canary Islands”. For Torres, what has happened in these last few hours, with the PSOE bringing together a comfortable majority of the votes, “portrays those who are now isolated: the right and the extreme right.”
Torres thanked the step taken by the Canarian Coalition and highlighted that “we have not just signed the Canarian agenda, as the PP did. What we have signed goes further because it is a legislative agreement.”
On criticism of the PP in the Canary IslandsTorres has been clear because “whoever said that the signing of the Canarian agenda was bad news, perhaps meant that it is bad news for his political party.”
In this sense, he clarified that the PSOE “has signed the same agenda that CC closed with the PP, with vital issues for hydraulic, educational or transport infrastructure, but a point has also been included in which both formations coincide. to initiate a process that culminates in regulatory modifications so that the powers regarding unaccompanied minors are not exclusive to the communities to which they arrive.”
Torres has assured that the PP “has been losing support that Sánchez has been gaining on the other hand and now they are calling for mobilization being aware of their failure. The real mobilization took place on 23J.”
Torres has regretted the acts of vandalism that the PSOE headquarters have suffered and has thanked the citizens and other political groups for their support: “To those who have not done so, which has been VOX, I remind you that the only weapon to brandish “In democracy it should be the word, never violence or the call to insubordination.”
He general secretary of the PSOE Canary Islands has forcefully rejected words and expressions used by the right and the extreme right such as “tyranny”, “treason” “coup d’état”, because “it is unacceptable language that is outside the constitutional scope”, he concluded.
