Feijóo asks Sánchez to "put order" in the Government regarding the situation in Israel

Alberto Núñez Feijóo moves between the need to move forward and talk about issues that are his strength: the economy, stability, the future, issues that have nothing to do with Pedro Sánchez's negotiations for his investiture, and the reality of what Socialists and independentists have on the table: self-determination amnesty. And if we add to that the situation in the Middle East, the impossibility of "placing" a speech is impossible.

The president of the PP, who gave a conference yesterday at the Metafuturo conference, organized by Antena3, tried to talk about the economy, taxation, energy, European funds, but in the end he had to end up expressing his opinion on the statement from the Embassy of Israel against the Government, due to the position of some of Pedro Sánchez's ministers, those of Sumar, regarding the conflict in the Middle East.

In statements to the media after his conference, the president of the PP, the popular leader demanded that he "put order" in his Government regarding the events in Gaza and Israel, although he also did not subscribe to the statement from the Israeli Embassy in Spain, which considers that "it could be more accurate."

For Feijóo, when a country "is in shock like Israel is" the worst thing that can be done "is to enter into diplomatic conflict with that country." For this reason, although he believes that the statement "could be a little more accurate," he considers that "the mess that the Government has and the rupture in the Government's international policy is already a classic."

In the opinion of the president of the PP "when a country has a conflict and when a country is attacked by a terrorist organization, it cannot be equidistant", which is why he regrets "that my country has a diplomatic problem with Israel" and believes that the president of the Government "I should put things in order, although I understand that Sumar's votes and Podemos's votes are decisive for him to remain president of the government." Of course, he warns that who loses is "Spain's international prestige" and "Spain's prominence in the international community. That is, we lose the Spaniards because of the political mess that remains in the government in a notorious way and now and also rudely."

Alberto Núñez Feijóo also could not, in his conference, abstract himself from the negotiations for the investiture, although he spoke practically his entire conference about the economy, tax reform, European funds, reforms, infrastructure, but recognizing that "we are about something else."

In that sense, Feijóo used seafaring tradition to explain the situation: "There is no good wind for those who do not know where they are going," he said, but in addition, whoever is at the helm "changes his mind" and, furthermore, the crew "it is divided", everything leads to disaster for Spain, which is what interests him, because "the State is not successful if it is supported by those who want to end the state."

His message to Pedro Sánchez is that "not everything is worth it to be president, that not everything is worth it to reach La Moncloa", and in his opinion what he is doing is not worth it, because "he is whitewashing those who are incapable of condemning terrorism , they are whitewashing what was the political arm of a terrorist organization" and is willing "to grant amnesty to fugitives from justice, all for being presidents." The popular leader emphasizes that "arithmetic cannot replace ethics" because then Spain will begin a path in which it is not known where it can end.

For Alberto Núñez Feijóo, "amnesty, self-determination and making Spaniards unequal have nothing to do with the future, but with a past that has already been overcome." Above all because he considers that on July 23, in the elections, "centrality won", which gave the PSOE and the PP 258 seats, "far from eccentricity and extremism" and therefore "those who have brought Spanish politics into in a cocktail shaker" they should reflect and think if it is better to "break their position of centrality and act not as a state party" or it is better to propose agreements to make structural reforms, build a competitive economy, improve the quality of public services and improve the reputation of Spain, which is what he proposed at his investiture.
