The Partido Popular announced this Monday that it has commissioned a legal study to analyze possible “parliamentary and judicial actions” against government ministers for their absences in the Senate control sessions. In a statement, the popular party accuses the Executive of incurring in “work absenteeism” and of carrying out a “clear dereliction of duties” after it became known that up to ten ministers will not attend the plenary session scheduled for this Tuesday. “In a parliamentary democracy, the Government manages in the offices and shows its face in the Cortes,” the PP states in its writing.
The party led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo maintains that several members of the Executive deliberately avoid appearing in the Upper House to dodge questions related to various political controversies. Among the cases mentioned, the PP highlights the absence of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares, whom it accuses of not wanting to “account for the degradation of the country's image abroad”. It also points to the third vice-president and minister for Ecological Transition, Sara Aagesen, for not attending the investigation committee on the blackout.
The popular ones are now studying if these absences can result in some type of individual responsibility within the parliamentary or judicial framework, although for the moment they have not specified what specific measures they will promote.
