During Pedro Sánchez's appearance in Congress, the republican leader, Gabriel Rufián, made it clear to the President of the Government that the legislature needs real content to make sense. If Sánchez limits himself to "resisting," he warned, the only thing left in the Socialist Party when he leaves will be "bad people."
Rufián asked the head of the Executive to look him in the eyes and asked him if he knew the behavior of his former Organization secretaries, José Luis Ábalos and Santos Cerdán, and of former militant Leire Díez. He reminded him that Ábalos "has just been sentenced to 24 years in prison for a corrupt plot" before asking him the direct question, "Have you stolen?"
For the Catalan deputy, Ábalos's word had functioned for years as "the word of God" within the party, because "God was Pedro Sánchez." Despite the harshness of his reproaches, Rufián also recognized that in Spain justice "is not equal for all" and that the PSOE suffers judicial "persecution" for its pacts with sovereignist forces, a situation that, in his opinion, the Government has never tried to stop.
Rufián was clear in pointing out that he is not enthusiastic about the idea of a Feijóo president with Abascal as vice president either, but insisted on questioning the point of Sánchez remaining clinging to Moncloa. Before closing his intervention, he challenged the PP to present a motion of no confidence if they have "the guts," assuring that they would have the support of Junts.
