CC votes against the amnesty law because "it does not respond to the general interest" but to continue in the Government

Coalición Canaria has voted against the amnesty law because “it does not respond to the general interest” but to the interest of continuing in the Government.

“No one will be surprised by my vote against because we warned about it in the investiture session and because, in addition, it is clearly stated in the pact we have signed with the Socialist Party”, said the deputy of Coalición Canaria Cristina Valido during her speech in the plenary session of the Congress of Deputies that opens the debate process of the Amnesty Law.

“We said it then and we repeat it today. We don't like it. And we don't like it because of the reasons, we don't like it because of the forms and we don't like it because of the urgency”, explained the Canarian nationalist parliamentarian and CC indicates in a statement.

Among the reasons for Coalición Canaria not to support the processing of the amnesty law, Deputy Cristina Valido stressed that “it does not respond to the general interest, it does not respond to the urgencies of citizens in all the territories of the State and because it does not even have a reasonable social consensus”.

In this sense, the parliamentarian of Coalición Canaria stressed that this parliamentary initiative presented by the Socialist Group with the support of its political partners is “quite the opposite” because, argued Cristina Valido, “it has served to divide more and to irritate more”.

The deputy of Coalición Canaria also reproached that the forms are not being the most appropriate because “we find it serious that those who are going to benefit from it are designing this law”, and that it is being negotiated “outside the Spanish State”.

Valido stated that “I am not sure that we would have heard the same speech today if the support of the groups that request the amnesty to govern, to reach La Moncloa” had not been necessary after the general elections.

Therefore, the deputy confirmed the vote against CoaliciónCanaria, although she left open the possibility of collaboration with the parties that support the Government of Spain to process other parliamentary initiatives in the Congress of Deputies “that do respond to the general interest”.

“We can collaborate, and we will collaborate, in many other matters, economic matters, social matters, in many sectors they will have our support”, Valido indicated, “but in this matter Coalición Canaria votes no”.
