The People’s Party (PP) has criticised the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, for not having attended the reopening ceremony of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris and the Executive has responded to these criticisms by recalling that only heads of state had been invited to this event and that other “heads of state and government of the European Union” did not attend either.
“The absence of Spain at the reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral is a disgrace for our country,” declared this Monday the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, through the social network X. “Once again, the Government is not up to the level of the society it must serve,” he added.
“The absence of Spain at the ceremony for the reconstruction of the Notre Dame Cathedral is surprising; it should embarrass us as a country,” wrote the national spokesman for the PP, Borja Sémper, on the same social network. “The Minister of Culture, at least, should have attended,” he concluded.
Speaking to the press, the Minister for Digital Transformation and the Civil Service, Óscar López, said that only heads of state had been invited to this event. “I have the utmost respect for the agenda of the Royal House, of course, and I do not quite understand the criticisms of the PP,” he said, quoted by the Europa Press agency. “There have not been so many heads of state and governments of the European Union either,” he added.
