The People's Party (PP) questions the government about its exemplary behavior during Begoña Gómez's court statement.

The PP wants to take advantage of this Wednesday's control session in Congress, the first of the new political year , to question President Pedro Sánchez, Vice President María Jesús Montero and Minister Félix Bolaños about the Government's exemplary conduct in the face of corruption , all on the same day that Begoña Gómez, the wife of the Chief Executive, is summoned to testify as a defendant before Judge Juan Carlos Peinado.

At the request of the PSOE (Spanish Socialist Workers' Party), Congress agreed not to hold a plenary session on September 11th so that Catalan deputies could celebrate the Diada (National Day), although the PP attributed this decision to the fact that Gómez was scheduled to testify in court that Thursday. However, the judge brought forward the summons of the president's wife to September 10th, meaning that it will coincide with the Congress plenary session.

According to the list of questions for this plenary session, reported by Europa Press, PP spokesperson Ester Muñoz wants to address María Jesús Montero to ask her "how she believes her government is legitimized to combat corruption."

Exemplarity

And the secretary general of the Popular Party, Miguel Tellado, will ask the Minister of Justice and the Presidency, Félix Bolaños, if he believes "his government is compatible with exemplary conduct." "Is your government's way of acting democratic?" is the question Cuca Gamarra will direct to the minister.

Following the meeting in Brussels between the president of the Catalan government, the socialist Salvador Illa, and the leader of Junts, Carles Puigdemont, MP Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo will ask whether the government "is negotiating justice reform with a fugitive from justice."

For his part, the PP's Education and Equality Minister, Jaime De los Santos, will ask the Spokesperson, Pilar Alegría, "what is her government's relationship with truth and freedom of expression?" Meanwhile, MP Ángel Ibáñez will question the Minister of Agriculture to find out if he believes the government "is up to the task."

"Are you going to apply what you demand to others?"

"Will what he demanded of others ever be implemented?" is the question that PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo wants to ask Sánchez, which suggests a debate on corruption, or even on the demand that the government present the 2026 General State Budget.

Feijóo recently announced a legal reform to force the government to present a budget and prevent the government from continuing to have its budget extended for more than two consecutive years. Sánchez, who when he was in opposition demanded that Mariano Rajoy submit to a vote of confidence if he didn't pass a budget, now maintains that he will remain in power without dissolving Parliament even if Congress rejects his budget proposal.

Pedro Sánchez will have to answer other questions in next week's plenary session. ERC spokesperson Gabriel Rufián wants him to explain "what he's going to do for the remainder of this term," while Vox leader Santiago Abascal will emphasize his criticism of the government's migration policy: "How much money does illegal immigration cost Spaniards?" is the question he has registered.
