Boadilla del Monte (Madrid) As soon as you enter Boadilla del Monte, a sign on the side of the road warns: “The legal consequences of the amnesty law”. It announces the legal days that, coinciding with the processing of the law in Congress, are held in this municipality on the outskirts of Madrid. It is a fiefdom of the PP and today the former president of the Spanish government, Mariano Rajoy, is expected to visit it, the protagonist this week due to reports that he would have been aware of the Catalonia operation. With the same conviction that his government decided to wage a dirty war against the Process by creating a political police, he warns those who point him out: “They have it very raw”. It refers to the parties that have promoted the creation of the commission of inquiry in Congress on the Catalonia operation.
Rajoy maintains that the pact between the PSOE and Junts for the investiture of Pedro Sánchez has two objectives that require two different instruments. The first is to “guarantee the impunity of those who violated the Constitution, were convicted and in some cases fled.” A goal that, according to him, is achieved through the amnesty law. And a second objective which is to condemn him and all those who “defended the Constitution, the law and democracy: judges and prosecutors, bodies and security forces and the government that stopped the blow with the application of 155 ” (at this point there is an ovation from the audience). This is achieved through the second instrument: commissions of inquiry. “They’ll see if they get something out of it and then go to court.”
According to Rajoy, however, they will fail: “They have it very raw”, he reiterates, without making it clear whether it is because it is difficult to find evidence against him or because justice is investigating Operation Catalunya – so far it has not done so. The reporters in the room won’t have a chance to ask him about it and, of course, neither will the moderator of the event. Judging by the predictions of the former Spanish president, it seems that “the legal consequences of the amnesty law” will be harmful for the Spanish and for “coexistence”, but they will not be so for him, despite the fact that all the ‘stays like a victim the week he’s been singled out as an executioner.
Epicenter of the Gürtel
The only element of hostility against Rajoy, although he doesn’t even know about it, is in the street. About fifteen members of the PSOE in Boadilla del Monte – where, by the way, ex-commissioner José Manuel Villarejo also lives – are demonstrating against the assistance of the ex-president of the PP, since this is a municipality where the Gürtel plot it worked at full capacity.
Its former mayor Arturo González Panero is in prison and the Supreme Court confirmed his sentence to 36 years last November. “Who is M. Rajoy?” says one of the banners carried by the protesters. Precisely, Rajoy maintains that “the origin of the Frankenstein government and of the amnesty” is the motion of censure that unseated him from Moncloa in 2018. Then the justice did condemn the PP and, politically, Pedro Sánchez to him .
