The image of division projected by the Government with the lack of agreement both between the PSOE and Unidas Podemos, as well as within the left-wing coalition after the presentation of Yolanda Díaz's Sumar project, is one more trick that the PP will use to explain the difference between what they want and offer, a government alone, that does not depend on anyone, that is, Vox, and a president of the Government, they emphasize in the PP, who has already renounced governing alone and a president, Pedro Sánchez, who has linked her future to that of Yolanda Díaz.
And what better place to highlight that difference than in the capital of Andalusia, where Juanma Moreno has governed with an absolute majority since last June, after having done so for four years with Ciudadanos and the external support of Vox, and doing so by an absolute majority in the only elections that have been held while Alberto Núñez Feijóo was president of the PP.
Coinciding with the anniversary of his election to lead the PP, Feijóo returned to Seville on Tuesday to fulfill the promise he made during the congress that appointed him, and now with another commitment, to return on Easter 2024 if he wins the elections and manages to be president.
The leader of the PP is convinced that the Spaniards are clear about what they prefer "between the Government of Andalusia, with a president, a party and a program, and the Government of Spain, with the chaos of different souls". Feijóo was surprised by the image that United We Can give since this weekend, because, he said, "we knew that we were facing the most divided government in history", because it was a government "divided in two", on the one hand the PSOE and on the other Unidas Podemos, with the problems they have had not only with the yes is yes law, or the trans law, but also with El Sahara, with the war in Ukraine, or with the celebration in Spain of the summit of NATO.
"But now a tripartite has been consolidated -Núñez Feijóo stressed-, which in reality are not three parties, because Sumar is the mark of between 12 and 15 parties", and if we must add to them the independentistas of ERC and Bildu, The conclusion for the president of the PP is that "never has Spanish politics made the government and the president of the government so weak."
And there is the PP, as an alternative, with a "solid and united party" that would have a government, in which the president "could appoint and dismiss his ministers, and with a party behind it at the service of Spain and not at the service of the protagonists of a coalition, that to understand it you need a map and a canteen, to know who makes up the government".
Alberto Núñez Feijóo set himself as an example of a political leader who knows how to broaden his project, not that of Yolanda Díaz. "This year we have added many people to our project, more than 12,000 new affiliates, we have added a lot of talent with the Reformismo 21 foundation, with people outside the PP, and we have opened the party to mainstreaming and to people who had left us to vote and have returned, and to people who had never voted for us and who now say, at least in the polls, that they are going to vote for us again".
With these wickers, Feijó believes that a political project can be made to offer citizens. "We are going to try to make a political change like the one that has taken place in Andalusia, and really add up." To this end, what the president of the PP offers the Spanish is a project to "strengthen public services", a project for "solvency and sustainability of pensions" and an economic project "that means breaking the deadlock so that the economy grow again with intensity" and all this with "a contained public debt.
And for the Spaniards who believe that squaring that circle is impossible, Feijóo gives Andalusia, Juanma Moreno and his absolute majority as an example, to tell the Spaniards that "what we want to do in May and then in December is to obtain those large majorities that we have obtained in Galicia and Andalusia" and if they are achieved "we will grow again and close the chapter on the division and we will subtract it and we will add and multiply, which is what interests Spain". That would translate, according to Feijóo, into a "return to consensus, to constitutional Spain, to a Spain that has a great future" and that is why it opens the doors of the PP to whoever wants to work for that and that "the change of Juanma Moreno continue", starting with the Andalusian cities.
The president of the PP also responded to the criticism launched at him on Monday, in Albacete, by Pedro Sánchez, who said that the Popular Party "has no arguments, only insults and noise." Feijóo returned the criticism of the Prime Minister: "If there is a president who has been characterized by opposing the opposition," he said, "by sending his 22 ministers to insult the head of the opposition, and by having a harsh tone in Spanish politics, Sánchez takes the record".
For the popular leader there has not been since Adolfo Suárez, the first president of this democratic stage, "a president who has insulted the opposition so much." And that responds, he said, "to a way of approaching politics", because "when one does not have arguments, he prefers disqualifications." He is not like that, he assures, "I said when I was elected president of the PP that I did not come to insult Sánchez, but to win him, and a year later I reaffirm myself, because I want to offer a political change in Spain."
