The minister of Territorial Policy, Ángel Víctor Torres, has rebuked this Monday the PP for the "well-prepared" insult from a popular councilwoman to the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, and has urged citizens "to fight, struggle, and combat fascisms and the degradation of the democratic".Before participating in the forum 50 years of Spain and the Canary Islands in Freedom, organized by the publishing house Prensa Ibérica and the newspaper La Provincia, Torres alluded to what happened this Sunday at a PSOE rally in Teruel, where a PP councilwoman in Vallanca (Valencia) starred in what he has described as "an abnormality"."If someone who is a public official from another political party attends" a meeting like this Sunday's, he has stated, "I understand it is to listen and, perhaps, even to learn, but she went to insult, to inflame, to polarize. And that is not done if one is not well prepared," he has criticized.
The leader of the PSOE in the Canary Islands has underlined that "politics, fundamentally, must be based on dialogue, on good manners, on defending your ideas while shaking hands with the political rival, and not on threat, degradation, or disqualification".
"That is what is unfortunately causing fascism to prevail. And whoever does that has a fascist attitude," he added
Torres has asked the "far-right" to "defend their theses" without "insulting the President of the Government, nor mentioning his mother, nor attacking socialist colleagues with insults and including in the generality what are shameful actions by some".
"I will not do it, but I have, of course, the freedom to demand that it not be done," he asserted
The Minister of Territorial Policy has warned "democrats that if something happened in the years leading up to the Spanish Civil War it was a polarization, as also happened before World War II, by parties that even came to power through the ballot box to then reveal what they were: totalitarians with fascist postulates".
Therefore, he has said that the PSOE will always oppose "insult with training; disqualification with didacticism; and the exacerbated shout, absolutely outside any minimum norm of education, with proposals and arguments"
