Felipe González calls the amnesty decision "garbage": "How can you apologize to criminals?"

BarcelonaThat the amnesty in the Process doesn't please Felipe González is nothing new. However, just hours before the Constitutional Court's decision on the law is made public, the former Socialist president has raised his tone and attacked the report signed by the body's vice president, the progressive Inmaculada Montalbán, which supports its constitutionality: "The rapporteur who raised this hope doesn't know what I expect to react to," González said in an interview on Onda Cero. "How can I apologize to criminals?" he asked about the law to erase judicial persecution in the Process.

The Constitutional Court has already given the green light to the amnesty law.And the final vote will be held this Thursday. Even though the judges consider the text to be within the legal framework, González has said that in the upcoming elections he will not vote for the PSOE because it negotiated a law that, as he recalled, was directly negotiated by former PSOE organizational secretary Santos Cerdán, implicated in the alleged corruption scheme in José's Ministry of Transport. "This self-amnesty is a disgrace for any democrat," he added. González supported the thesis defended by the PP: that Sánchez agreed to the amnesty with the independence movement to resist the Moncloa government despite having "lost" the elections and that, therefore, it is an act of "political corruption." However, he ruled out voting for Alberto Núñez Feijóo's party because he does not see it as having "a national project."

Regarding the alleged corruption scandal in the Cerdán case, he said that "it's very clear that it's not a party problem," because public works contracts are awarded by the Spanish government. González follows suit. of the 38 former PSOE officials who a couple of days ago asked Sánchez in a letter to resign and call an extraordinary congress of the PSOE in response to the "institutional degradation" they believe has occurred under his leadership. The former Socialist president also believes Sánchez should step aside and call elections. "With the results from the CIS, what doubts do you have?" he quipped.
