The absences in Congress during the minute of silence for two murdered civil guards

This afternoon we were able to see a new example of the concept of respect that some have for two murdered civil guards.

Sánchez ordered official mourning for a French socialist but not for two civil guards

At the beginning of the plenary session of the Congress of Deputies, a minute of silence was observed for the civil guards Miguel Ángel González Gómez and David Pérez Garacel, murdered in Barbate on February 9. The minute of silence was held today because there were no sessions in Congress last week. This is the video of that minute of silence published by the Congress Twitter account:

The most striking absence in this minute of silence has been that of the full government: Pedro Sánchez and all his ministers (including the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, in charge of which is the Civil Guard ) did not appear in the chamber in this tribute to those two murdered civil guards. The blue seats, which correspond to the members of the government, were completely empty.

Pedro Sánchez and his ministers have not been the only ones absent in this minute of silence. Vox deputy Jorge Campos has published these two photos in which we see others absences at that time, which are also observed in the video:

Campos has indicated that the seats of Bildu, ERC, Junts, Podemos and most of Sumar were empty. They are, coincidentally, the partners of Pedro Sánchez's government.

To our shame, in Spain we have a government that goes out of its way to amnesty the crimes of its partners, including terrorism crimes committed during the 2017 separatist coup in Catalonia, and that does not appear in the tributes to two murdered civil guards, for whom official mourning has not been decreed, something that was decreed by the French socialist Jacques Delors a few weeks ago.
