Spanish Opposition Leader Feijóo Pledges First Foreign Trip as PM Would Be to Morocco

Alberto Núñez Feijóo intends to review Spain’s foreign policy if he reaches La Moncloa. The PP candidate for the presidency promises to renew the old tradition that the first official trip should be to Rabat. "I don’t think Brussels is considered abroad because Brussels is the European capital. But as a non-EU country, I understand that it should be, and I would like it to be, Morocco," he said in an interview with Ok Diario.

Núñez Feijóo also plans to "repeal" the Democratic Memory law "because it is neither memorial nor democratic". "Memory has been manipulated. To say that Bildu is the example of democracy in Spain is an insult, it is an insult to the victims, the wounded - more than 10,000 -, to nearly 1,000 victims and to the Spaniards... Reconciliation is necessary, of course, but we have been doing it for 80 years," he explained.

The PP president also wants to recruit more judges and clean up the justice sector. "They currently number 5,000. But we plan to recruit them every year. You see the disorder in the Ministry of Justice, with weeks, months of strikes by lawyers and announcements of strikes by judges? We will put a good professional at the head of the Ministry of Justice," said Núñez Feijóo, who also intends to abolish the tax on large fortunes in certain autonomous communities.
