At that moment, the president of the Congress, Meritxell Batet, asked those present for silence. “It is impressive how they are not capable of approaching, even with respect, the reality of people who are only asking to be able to exist and to be recognized without mockery, without discrimination,” added the minister, while several deputies applauded as a show of support for their words.
“If they don’t mess with me, ladies and gentlemen, what they do is mockingly approach people who suffer discrimination and misunderstanding and who have the right to have their institutions recognize their existence as well,” he continued, and the question arose again. controversy in the opposition caucus.
For this reason, Batet drew the attention of the deputy Tristana Moraleja, of the Popular Party, and a wave of discontent in the room became evident. “Whenever you want, uh, with your permission,” Montero added sarcastically, once again unleashing loud criticism from some congressmen.
