Santa Cruz de Tenerife (EFE) In his opinion, he “walked away” in the speech he gave yesterday after being sworn in.
Torres has opened the round of contacts that Pérez will maintain with the different political groups to establish the investiture of the next president of the Canary Islands and, after the meeting with Astrid Pérez, has revealed that he “kindly” transferred this request, as well as his resignation to appear because the numbers do not give you.
The leader of the Canarian PSOE has criticized a passage from Astrid Pérez’s speech in which she made “an attack and criticism of the outgoing government” and has added that “that is what the spokespersons are for and we are the presidents of the parliamentary groups”.
But the president of Parliament, the vice president and the second vice president and the secretaries of the Bureau have “an institutional role”, he has objected.
Torres has indicated that, to this observation, Astrid Pérez “responded with a smile” and has been “convinced that she is going to rectify it”.
He does not believe that the tone of the Parliament speaker’s speech could be attributed to his “inexperience” in office, given Pérez’s “long political career”, and he added that “things must be made very clear, and if possible , from minute zero”.
“This is a long legislature, four years. Parliament has a long political tradition and each one has to be responsible for the role it plays. She is the president of the Parliament, of the 70 deputies. Therefore, its role, role and discourse must be institutional and neutral ”, she has insisted.
Torres takes it for granted that throughout these four years the groups will engage in political debates, and there the role of the president of the Chamber “is not to side with any political party but rather neutrality,” as she believes they have done. Astrid Pérez’s predecessors.
Regarding the negotiations for the investiture, the leader of the Canarian PSOE has recalled that days after the 28M elections they began talks to see what possibilities they would have of obtaining sufficient support to present themselves to it even “aware of the difficulty” of the company .
The same election night, he called the general secretary of the CC, Fernando Clavijo, and told him that he was convinced that the PSOE would not win the investiture because “they -CC and PP- already had it closed days before the elections, which was the case.” ”.
Torres has indicated that once another possibility of investiture is presented, the PSOE will lead the debate in “a rigorous, serious, coherent, responsible, demanding intervention”, and will exercise the opposition “as it should be: monitoring the government for the defense of the general interest”.
And from a partisan point of view, the PSOE will claim to be the party with the most votes for the Canaries. EFE
