The spokesperson for the Popular Party in the Congress, Ester Muñoz, has accused the Government of acting with "hypocrisy and cynicism" after the death of Maricarmen, and has considered it "despicable" that the Executive has tried, in her opinion, to "gain political advantage from the death of an elderly woman."
In an interview on Telecinco, the 'popular' leader responded to the criticism from the Minister of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, Óscar Puente, after the PP did not join the minute of silence held for Maricarmen this Thursday in both the Assembly and the Madrid City Council.
The PP spokesperson's response to Óscar Puente
Ester Muñoz went further and attacked the Minister of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, reproaching him for being the one, and not the PP, who professes "malice" by not assuming responsibility for various episodes of his management. Among them, she cited the Adamuz derailment and the lack of action regarding the 270,000 evictions that, she pointed out, have occurred during the eight years of PSOE government.
"Is it malice that a Minister of Transport whose negligence at the head of the Ministry has caused the biggest railway accident in democracy, goes to a meeting with the victims and says, 'look, I don't lay the rails.' Is that malice?" the PP spokesperson asked, referring to the accusations made by Óscar Puente against the 'popular' party.
Muñoz also warned that, if the debate is taken to the terms of "malice or goodness", the Government should exercise extreme caution, because, she said, "they have a lot of history behind them."
Evictions and criticism of Pedro Sánchez's Executive
In her speech, the PP spokesperson ironically questioned the supposed "evil" that, in her opinion, "the left practices for each of the 270,000 evictions" attributed during Pedro Sánchez's mandate, and stressed that no minutes of silence have been observed for these cases.
Furthermore, Ester Muñoz remarked that, in her opinion, not only have there been no such tributes, but "demonstrations" have not been called either, nor have "royal decrees" been promoted as a result of the judicial evictions registered during the Prime Minister's legislature.
"They want to gain political advantage from what happened to Maricarmen because they cannot offer a proposal for the future for this country," said the popular leader, before adding that, according to her diagnosis, Spaniards "today, objectively, live worse than three years ago."
