The PP, with the president of the Congress, Jesus Posada, the head, is opposed
to control the travel of the deputies and senators. At this time,
parliamentarians do not have to justify any of its displacement and receive the
amount of their travel by plane, train and boat. In addition, they don't realize
the amount of displacement, nor does it contain information about the trips made
by each one.
In this same sense, the deputy of the PP and second vice-president of the
Congress, Dolors Monserrat, has called on National Radio that will apply the
presumption of innocence of parliamentarians and keep in mind that your
movements are for work reasons. Has rejected that is controlled.
"If that is perfectly controlling travel, there is really a strict control of
all the travel arrangements for all members and all the senators and really put
your hand in the fire by all of them. We are very responsible, very austere and
we are very clear that we are paying with public money and that we use this
money to exercise our role", has been sentenced.
José Manuel Barreiro, spokesman for the PP in the Senate, has spoken in favor of
more control and transparency on these trips, but without greater precision.
Alonso has admitted that there is no control nor in the parliamentary group, nor
in the Congress. One of them, Deputy Carlos Muñoz, has resigned when he was
going to be published that made private travel to the Canary Islands from Teruel
in charge of the Congress. Neither the Camera nor his group knew nothing about.
The publication of the now president of Extremadura, José Antonio Mónago, made
32 private travel -according to the accounts of public-, has fueled the
controversy and he has done several groups that have been raised today various
initiatives. For example, the spokesman for the PSOE in the Senate, Mary
Chivite, has announced that his group will be asked to justify the travel and if
it is not done in 15 days it will deduct the amount of its payroll.
