Castilla y León is experiencing a political moment marked by tension.
The disqualifications, the coarse words or the outbursts reign in this legislature, which began in the spring, which is already heading into the autumn with spikes in tension.
The second parliamentary session of the new course this Wednesday has become a carousel of insults and quarrels that have caused the second round of the parliamentary appointment to be suspended.
And in what ways: the vice president of the Cortes, Francisco Vázquez (Vox), has murmured before the uproar of the groups: "I'm about to suspend the session and fuck them."
And he did: Vázquez decreed a 15-minute break to temper some excited spirits since this Tuesday afternoon the vice president, Juan García-Gallardo (Vox), called his predecessor and today Citizens Attorney, Francisco Igea, an “imbecile”,
The sparks of Tuesday have gone to more this Wednesday, in the second of the days of the session in the Hemicycle of Valladolid, while Pablo Fernández, from United We Can, intervened from the podium.
The UP attorney directed harsh comments about the management of the Junta de Castilla y León with the PP-Vox coalition in power when the leader of the extreme right, Juan García-Gallardo, and the parliamentary spokesman for the conservatives, Raúl de la Hoz, have begun to interrupt him and question him from their seats when they were not speaking.
The confrontation has reached such extremes that Vázquez has fulfilled what he has murmured, suspending the plenary session, and it has been like that for a quarter of an hour, when the prosecutors have returned to their seats and have finished, without incident, the debate on the Cuts.
Once the normal rhythm had returned, the vice president referred to the conduct of the Hemicycle as follows: “I ask that we please put these conducts and this
show on hold.
, of today and yesterday, and that we treat each other with respect and without treating this parliament like a pigsty”.
García-Gallardo ignited the spirits this Tuesday afternoon, when leaning back in his seat he referred to Igea as an "imbecile" and also classified him as an "alleged criminal", when the representative of Ciudadanos summoned him to withdraw that insult, without The President of the Cortes, Carlos Pollán (Vox), reprimanded his fellow acronym from his status as head of order in the Chamber.
Vox's senior official has shown a confrontational attitude since his first parliamentary plenary session, when he snapped at Noelia Frutos, a socialist representative with a disability, that he was going to speak to her "as if she were a normal person."
Rosa Valdeón, former regional vice president with the PP, calls it a "social setback" that these kinds of shows take place in parliaments because "we are heading towards total distrust with the political class and that, after all, is undermining the essence of democracy ”.
For her, the president of the Cortes must establish himself as an “arbiter or neutral figure”, regardless of the party to which he belongs, something that Pollán's successors, in her opinion, have been.
Valdeón considers that he shows better ways than his Vox colleagues, such as the bad manners that this former politician censors in Gallardo, but with "the same background" that allows these verbal battles.
A prosecutor who has been released this legislature, who asks for anonymity, does not believe the tones that are being experienced in the place that represents all Castilians and Leonese.
