Compromís expects Sánchez to explain his "change of story" on Morocco in Congress

Compromís lawmaker Alberto Ibáñez said Wednesday that he expects Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez to explain in Congress his "change of story" after saying in an interview in the United States that Morocco had failed to control its border on July 30.

Asked about the matter as he arrived for the government’s question time, Ibáñez said he "would have appreciated" Sánchez explaining "that change of story in the Congress of Deputies, where he appeared and did not tell us this part." "Therefore, I assume he will come and provide explanations soon," he said with a touch of irony.

IBÁÑEZ ALSO CRITICIZES THE PSOE OVER HOUSING

Ibáñez also criticized Sánchez because the PSOE did not support a Sumar motion to ban investment funds from buying homes, with consequences including the eviction of an elderly woman, Mari Carmen, in Madrid. In his view, the case shows that "politics fails, democracy fails, society fails, and the police officers who today have no conscientious objection also fail."

Regarding the greeting between Sánchez and Venezuela’s president, Delcy Rodríguez, at the United Nations General Assembly, Ibáñez instead targeted the PP, "particularly Ms. Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo," who "used to talk a lot about democracy in Venezuela, and I do not hear her now." "I believe the important thing is for there to be democracy in Venezuela, which there is not, and therefore I hope Venezuelans can vote freely," he concluded.
