The PP will request the urgent appearance at the Congress of the Minister of Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, and the director of the Civil Guard, Mercedes González, before the “dramatic problem” of the racist disturbances that have occurred in the Murcian town of Torre Pacheco during the weekend and that have resulted in multiple injured and a dozen detainees. This has been announced by the spokesman, Borja Sémper, in a press conference in which he has criticized Marlaska for attending the final of the Wimbledon tennis tournament, held in London, “instead of directing the security device” this Sunday.
“Marlaska shouldn't have been in London yesterday,” said seémper. “The Government has the obligation and duty to ensure the rule of law, reinforcing the troops to stop violence instead of allowing this situation to continue,” he said.
Sémper has denounced the “absence of a serious immigration policy” by Pedro Sánchez. “The President of the Government must have once and for all a migratory policy that guarantees coexistence and integration,” he added.
Government and hate messages, at the same level
The PP spokesman has also criticized “hate messages” that are being disseminated in recent days, although without citing anyone specifically. Sémper has placed the alleged absence of immigration policy and those “hate messages” at the same level: “We are equally blunt against the hate discourse that some insist on propagating.”
“That nobody expects from the PP messages that inflates in the situation or shakes in the streets. Rather the opposite. We are in front of the hate messages that only seek to stir and inflame the streets. Law and order for all citizens who aspire to live with peace of mind in their country,” he said.
“We are going to be in front of those who want to turn off a fire with more gasoline,” he insisted. “You have to listen to the mayor of Torre Pacheco, we must listen to the citizens. We have heard both the mayor and the president of the Murcian community, Fernando López Miras, ask for serenity and above all, ask the State Security Forces and Bodies and bodies to the Ministry of Interior, reinforce the devices to guarantee the security in the streets.”
The mayor of Torre Pacheco, Pedro Ángel Roca, has directly and expressly related immigration and crime. Not in the past, but during racial disturbances of this weekend. Although he has recognized that official data does not point to the increase in insecurity, Roca has said that he has his own “informal” statistics. “I know what I see every day, I am from Torre Pacheco, I live in Torre Pacheco, I live with my neighbor and we know the crime there are and the robberies there are. And that is what we see, not the one that is denounced more or denounced less.”
Roca added: “There is an immigration group that is having a lot of crime. Young groups and such that they have a lot of crime.” Everything, without data that corroborates their statements.
“Flat rate against hate speech”
Sémper did not want to identify those generators of hate speeches that, he said, are behind what is happening in Torre Pacheco. Expressly asked if it refers to Vox, the PP spokesman has chosen to divert the answer.
“We are not going to tolerate is that this is taken advantage of by anyone to set the streets more,” he said, not to mention who he refers to. “It is propagated by who propagates it. We don't care about the political party or the acronym. It is worth everyone. Flat tariff against hate speech,” he said.
But the PP has assumed part of the ultra and false story about what happened in Torre Pachecho. Semper has shown his “solidarity with the old man assaulted by a mob.” INIVACT INFORMATION Since the attacked himself said that he had been beaten by one or two people, not a mob, who are also unidentified.
Sémper has exposed what the position of the PP on immigration policy is: “We believe that Spain is a host country, it is a country of integration and the one that comes to our country to make a future will be well received, but the one that comes to our country to crime has no place in our country.”
