Feijóo calls for Sánchez's appearance and a monographic debate on the war in Ukraine
The leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, appeared this Monday after meeting with former defense ministers of his party and foreign policy experts to reiterate his demand that Pedro Sánchez appear in Parliament and explain the commitments made by Spain regarding the situation in Ukraine, abandoned to its fate by Donald Trump's United States, and he accused the President of the Government of not transmitting any information on the matter at a "crucial moment" when the world order is being redefined.
The opposition leader has also promised that all the PP regional presidents, who constitute a large majority, will reject the partial debt forgiveness decided by the Ministry of Finance and which will be raised at the Fiscal and Financial Policy Council next Wednesday: "They are going to vote against inequality, against rewarding poor management, against privileges and against buying the presidency of the Government with cash payments from the money of all Spaniards to the independentists," Feijóo exclaimed from the press room at the PP headquarters on Calle Genova in Madrid.

The PP president has cleared up any doubts about his alignment with Ukraine and the European Union in the current situation and, although he has called for not breaking transatlantic ties and maintaining the good relations with the United States that have characterized the hundred years of American leadership of the West, he has stressed that an “unjustifiable aggression” such as that of Russia, led by Vladimir Putin, will only be resolved with a “just peace” that respects international law and European values and principles.
Otherwise, Feijóo stressed, it would be a temporary ceasefire, until the next aggression from Putin's regime. But, at the same time, the popular leader has demanded that the Spanish Government not raise "doubts or mortgages" about its strategic autonomy and has regretted the "irresponsible statements wherever they come from", in reference to "tantrums, provocations and insults" that, in his opinion, come from both the left and the far right of Vox, which should "choose between its international dependencies and the interest of Spain".
In contrast to the PSOE and Santiago Abascal's party, the PP, Feijóo has stated, claims its freedom: "We do not depend on anyone nor are we obliged to pay homage to anyone," exclaimed the popular leader, who has urged the European Union to prepare itself "technologically, economically and militarily", because it "cannot allow itself to be more fragile or vulnerable in an increasingly hostile world." Hence, he has demanded that Spain cease to be the NATO country that allocates the least percentage of its GDP to defense and a parliamentary debate in which all political forces "portray" themselves and explain their positions on security. "Let them save the lessons of patriotism," he sentenced.
