The climate of political tension is growing by the moment. Pedro Sanchez This Wednesday he faces the first day of the investiture debate from which he will emerge, once again, invested as President of the Government. The leader of the PSOE receives the confidence of the Lower House in a vote in which he will obtain 179 if it is y 171 noes after accumulating their support based on pacts and concrete measures, among them, the most controversial: the amnesty. Some well-known personalities in our country have spoken out on this matter in recent days.
In the list of well-known faces that have taken a position on this matter, it could not be missing Arturo Pérez-Reverte. The writer and academic of the Royal Spanish Academy usually gives his opinion without mincing words on social networks, and an example of this is the tweet that he published four years ago and that he has rescued regarding current political events.
This tweet is from exactly four years ago, so please don’t ask me more about what’s going on these days. It’s all been said a long time ago. pic.twitter.com/BshvXBHfJS

This is a text that he published four years ago on the occasion of the results of the general elections that gave the Government to Pedro Sánchez after his coalition agreement with Pablo Iglesias. “I would like to be able to look at the national reality (or whatever we want to call this sad spectacle) with the attitude or distance of an Englishman in Morocco,” he wrote at that time, some words to which he added: “This tweet is from exactly four years, so don’t ask me more about what’s happening these days, please. It’s all been said a long time ago.”
For its part, Miguel Bose He has also spoken out on the matter. She did it this Tuesday, through a publication on Instagram, where she wrote: “Betrayal pays. And it pays quickly and dearly. Here you have a sample of how little, if not nothing, we matter to the Sánchez Government and his entire clique. But we are muleteers… Absolute and unconditional support for all the people who take to the streets every day to fight for their sovereignty, their identity and their country. Always”.
From María Pombo to Jaime Lorente
These words come after the influencer and businesswoman Maria Pombo set social media on fire a few days ago by speaking out publicly in the context of the altercations on Ferraz Street in Madrid. “What is happening in Spain is a clear example that we are moving further and further away from democracy and equality for all citizens. The thirst for power at all costs and at any price from people with so much responsibility is the most dangerous thing for a country,” he wrote in his stories, where he lamented the lack of “freedom” of expression.
This message follows the criticism that the doctor and influencer Carla Barber has launched the Sánchez Executive on numerous occasions. This weekend, he demonstrated against the amnesty, and this Tuesday he stressed that, despite what some may think, he is not a “fascist.” And, like her, the actor Jaime has also spoken about this matter Lorentwho called the president of the Government a “liar” and attacked the vice president, Yolanda Díaz.
The anger of Pablo Motos and Josep Pedrerol
As for the television faces, the presenter’s assessment has been commented a lot. Joseph Pedrerol about the investiture. “I can’t believe someone would trade for seven votes. Politics is the art of dialogue, but here it is not so much dialogue as ‘I will give you in exchange for…’,” he said in The anthilland added: “I am Catalan, but when are they going to fix the train in Extremadura? I think we have to think about all the communities (…) I travel throughout Spain, I feel Catalan and Spanish. I don’t want that when they see me “Think that I am unsupportive of the rest. We Catalans are not unsupportive.”
“There are some independentists who want to make us Catalans seem unsupportive. What is happening hurts me and I don’t know where we are going to go.” And he added: “Are you going to vote in favor of amnesty? Are they going to vote in favor of Puigdemont and for another 300 not to be tried? Are they going to vote against their people? His people have voted for a socialist parliamentarian from Cáceres. Is he going to pass through the streets of Cáceres with peace of mind? “He commented.
The presenter of the Atresmedia space, Pablo Motos, also feels disgusted with the pacts of the PSOE and Junts. “This is a bankruptcy of democracy. If The judges, who have to be subject to the rule of law, are subject to the politicians, justice is ending,” he complained on his program, receiving the support of his collaborators, Tamara Falcó, Nuria Roca, Juan del Val and Cristina Pardo at the usual debate table.
Almodóvar, against war-mongering language
Director Pedro Almodovar strongly disagrees with the Madrid president, Isabel Diaz-Ayuso, for the use of that bellicose language. “Ayuso does not realize that in a dictatorship it was impossible to go out into the streets and fill the squares, unless the demonstration was called by Franco’s power. “If I had to shoot a film that took place during the riots of the last nine days at the intersection of Ferraz and Marqués de Urquijo streets, I would start with a long shot of some madmen throwing containers at the riot police, between tear gas bombs, which “It would give the scene a stylized and dreamlike air,” he said about the protests in Ferraz.
