PalmThe PP has lashed out this Tuesday against the socialist bench over the indictment of former Spanish president José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero for alleged crimes of criminal organization, influence peddling, and document forgery. The president of the Govern, Marga Prohens, has assured that "in time, they will all fall, one by one, and they will pay for the harm they are doing to Spain and to the Spanish people".

Prohens responded in this way to a parliamentary question from the spokesperson for the PSIB, Iago Negueruela, about housing. "Everything is forgiven for him because he is in shock," the leader of the executive snapped at him. Although Negueruela wanted to respond to these words, the president of the Parliament, Gabriel Le Senne, told him that it was not justified by the regulations.

Cites Meloni to defend international cooperation

On the other hand, the president defended this Tuesday the allocations dedicated to international cooperation. She did so against the opinion of the Vox spokesperson, Manuela Cañadas, and citing the Italian Prime Minister, Georgia Meloni, one of the international references of the far-right. "The causes that push someone to leave their country must be addressed," she stated, in addition to insisting that international cooperation policies "stop migratory flows".

Prohens responded in this way to Cañadas' parliamentary question, who reproached her for the Government allocating "nearly four million euros" to social development projects in countries such as Senegal, Guatemala, Burkina Faso, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic. "Will we continue sending millions while people can't make ends meet?" Cañadas asked.

Prohens defended that international cooperation policies represent a "humanitarian tool" and also a way to stop immigration reaching the Islands. Insisting on Meloni's words, she argued that "illegal mass immigration" and "the mafias will not stop" if "the causes" that lead someone to decide to emigrate are not addressed.

The president's words come a week after the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, assured in Palma that the flows of irregular immigration in the Islands will be reduced due to cooperation policies with the countries of origin.
