Foot, because his colleague carme chacón had anticipated him : he 'stepped on' the visit, but above all the first photo with the new commander of the international forces, the north american general petraeus , as told in ecd ( see news ). It is not known if for this reason, the truth is that the minister of foreign affairs started the fight with the minister of defense during the trip back to spain, in an 'off the record' that he maintained with the journalists who were traveling with him on board the official air force plane. As el confidencial digital has learned , from sources of the journalists who attended that briefing, miguel ángel moratinos spoke with detachment and harshness about his government colleague, something that surprised those present. One of the most derogatory phrases about the minister of defense was: “ with that voice she has, how can she give command orders to the military? ”. She was referring to the official acts in which carme chacón, as head of the ministry, has to address the units in formation to order the various acts and movements. As you will remember, the first order that the minister gave, “ captain, stand firm.
Say with me: long live spain and long live the king ”, given on the day of his inauguration, in april 2008, was pronounced with very little martialism and was commented on by all the media, the same as in the military spheres. . Throughout this 'off the record' Special Database on the official plane, other issues were also raised, such as the combination of new ambassadors being prepared by the ministry of foreign affairs, and which, among other movements, placed alberto navarro in morocco, luis planas in brussels and diego lópez garrido in lisbon. Moratinos replied that they should ask the media that had given that information.To begin with, parliamentarians like pere macià, from convergencia , as well as others from nationalist groups, insist on calling it a “debate on general policy” , to the detriment of the usual name and to avoid using the term “nation” referring to spain. Macià, for example, has even proposed calling it a “debate on the state of the state . ” another nationalist deputy, jordi xuclà, durán I lleida's right-hand man in congress , a renowned parliamentarian and specialist in defense and foreign affairs, considers that the debate “has ceased to make sense ,” because it has become “a dialogue of the deaf.” and a cage of crickets that discredits the work that is done throughout the year in parliament.
Xuclà remembers the years in which “a true review of the government's actions was carried out.” he believes that today, in this image society , everything is almost reduced to “statements in twenty seconds and polls to find out who has won the debate.” furthermore: quoting obama, the girona deputy regrets that the political chronicle has copied the sports chronicle in its language. What is the solution? According to this deputy, an example of good parliamentarianism is the appearances of each minister before the joint congress-senate commission on the european union , to report on the management carried out in his department at the end of the rotating presidency of the eu. More specifically, xuclà launches a proposal in two directions: first, periodic appearances by each minister to talk about the “general policy” of their department. Secondly, that the president of the government also periodically submits to interpellations – lasting three quarters of an hour in total with the various speaking turns – to respond sectorally to specific issues . For example, economic recovery measures, unemployment, ruling on the statute, that is, going “issue by issue and case by case.” the issue is, he concludes, that congress does not become “a television set,” as is now happening in the debate on the state of the nation.
