[Trending News] Rajoy's 'show' in Congress: “I will not answer if I think you are silly”

The new appearance of Mariano Rajoy in Congress was aimed, a priori, answer the questions of the parliamentary groups in the framework of the Research Commission on “The Right to Know the Truth” Of the attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils of August 17, 2017, requested at the request of Juns to try to give wings to a conspiracy theory that, ultimately, blames the National Intelligence Center (CNI) to allow the massacre to harm separatism.

“I am not aware of an operation of Catalonia, of any parapolical plot or of the alleged irregularities that are investigated here,” he settled in his first intervention. But the appointment did not take time in a the whole rolled with questions about a multitude of issues to which the former president of the Government has thrown out of his usual broadcasts to respond to parliamentary spokesmen. The tension was going to more, and the reproaches and even expletives between deputies of the PP and other representatives of the leftist groups forced the session on many occasions.

The representative of Podemos, Ion's grasshe has launched against Rajoy for the alleged investigation of his government to deputies of Podemos; Bárcenas' papers; The Granadinas report – an alleged assembly of Pablo Iglesias accounts abroad – and even met with the journalist Antonio García Ferreras.

“Do you think we are dumb?”Belarra snapped after the former popular leader described as “flatly false” that his government had orchestrated an alleged investigation to discredit Podemos. “I don't know where you go that grace, because you are a Galician and the Galicians are not reputed as funny,” he recriminated. “I will not answer if I think you are sillybecause it is not about generating a bad atmosphere, “Rajoy replied.” He had no interest in Podemos. You probably believed very important, but I as government president I had more important things to attend“.

The former president of the Government has also Zafoado from the questions of the leader of Podemos about the Bárcenas roles or the already manida of “Who is M. Rajoy”, despite what is far from the original theme of the aforementioned Investigation Commission. “I am not going to talk about that matter, just as I am not going to talk about Mr. Iglesias, about Mr. Errejón or Mr. Monedero“Rajoy launched, alluding to recent cases of allegations for sexual harassment against the two former members of adding and Podemos.

“You are the most corrupt president of democracy”Belarra lashed out, giving the face to face and awakening the protests of the PP deputies present in the Investigation Commission.

After repeatedly denying the alleged 'Operation Catalonia' that denounces Catalan independence, Rajoy has focused on defending his government's performance with the application of 155 in Catalonia after the Unilateral Declaration of Independence of 1-O, and stirred against the insistence of the Bildu spokesman, Jon Iinarritu; or the Junts representative, Josep Farmerfor the alleged existence of a plot to damage independence. “The main problem you have is that you have brought me here to Ask for issues in which I have not intervened“He incurred.

Shock with Rufián: “It is likely to end in jail”

The moment of greatest tension in the appearance came with the face to face with ERC spokesman, Gabriel Rufiánthat he began his speech spending Rajoy who, although before “outraged” his figure, now gives him “laziness.” The nationalist leader recriminated him in the first instance that he “plants” in Congress “with about 15 people to thank him”, alluding to the bulky delegation of the PP that has attended the investigation commission, including the one who was the spokesman in the Rajoy Congress, Rafael Hernandoand the current leader of the popular group, Miguel Tellado. “He denotes some weakness,” he challenged.

“If you want, I tell the president of the commission to give them”Rajoy ironized. Then, one speaker has starred in a angry dialectical battle with continuous interruptions and outbursts. Rufián has recommended the former government president to hire “a lawyer” because, in his opinion, “It is quite likely to end in jail because of Bárcenas”.

ERC spokesman affected his role during the Catalan referendum, and reproached him for his “lies” regarding the alleged Catalonia operation. “Mr. Rufián, Do you know who is Judas Iscariot? Because when Mr. Puigdemont was doubting between calling elections or declaring independence, He received a tweet telling him 155 silver coins“Rajoy defended himself, in reference to the message published by Gabriel Rufián in October 2017 in which he slipped that Puigdemont was betraying the Catalan people for weighing an electoral call.” The only Judas I know is called Bárcenas, “the Republican spokeswoman recriminated.

The former government president He has denied that “Andorra's government” threatened “. “Lie,” Rufián snapped. “Do you believe that I go to a meeting to threaten a president of the government of another country?” Rajoy wondered, which Rufián has insisted. “Send your commissioners to threaten. Vito Corleone He never went to threaten anyone, “counterattacked the independence leader.

The PSOE interrogation was also especially rough, and the socialist spokesman, Manuel Arribas, also assumed that Rajoy will end up sitting before a court. The leader accused him of having made a “corrupt use” Of the institutions, and questioned whether he can ensure that he never had a conversation with Commissioner Villarejo, something that the popular president has denied sharply. Rajoy ended the appearance by admitting a bittersweet taste for the “bad forms and bad words” of the investigation commission and launched a last dart to the PSOE for the continuous assignments to Junts. “By seven votes you have lost, gentlemen, dignity. And it is the worst thing that a human being can lose.”
