Juanma Moreno does not want what happened to Alfonso Fernández Mañueco to happen to him, and that the landing of popular national or regional leaders would turn the elections in Castilla y León into a general primary. For this reason, the Andalusian president kept the possibility of saying who participates in the Andalusian campaign, where and with what messages.
Alberto Núñez Feijóo disciplinedly accepted Moreno's proposal, and with the invitation of the Andalusian president, the national leader of the PP went to Seville this morning, where he emphasized the Andalusian character of the elections, but underlining a feature of the call to the polls of June 19, but in a Spanish key. The Andalusian elections will be, according to Feijóo "the first stage of an important electoral process not only for the PP, but for Spain", the general elections.
For Feijóo, in that first stage that June 19 represents, "we are risking economic recovery, not spending what we have for longer, and we are risking whether or not to make the reforms that the welfare state endures", after a pandemic that has brought more households into a situation of exclusion.
On June 19, the PP and the Spaniards are playing "to have a solid economic model, or that the welfare state is at risk due to the lack of a serious economic policy." That seems to be the strong point of the PP and the one that Feijóo wants to exploit, but it is not limited to that: "We are risking institutional prestige", because if Andalusia is not that first stage, the Sánchez government will continue "wearing down the state so that the government does not wear out".
19-J is essential for the leader of the PP, because if the current government in Spain is not ended soon "the economic damage will be so great that it will be necessary to begin the economic and institutional reconstruction and the reconstruction of credibility" because in " the Government of Spain," he said, "those who do not believe in Spain cannot command".
Alberto Núñez Feijóo considers that while the Sánchez government "is not the government that Spain needs", and not only because of the economic issue, but also "because of the mess with the CNI and the institutional crisis it created in the intelligence services", in The opposite occurs in Andalusia, the majority know "that Juanma is the best government for Andalusia". Something, stressed the president of the PP, that many socialist voters already admit in public, those who are not in the pay of the PSOE. And they admit it, he said, the socialist voters who are in the pay of the PSOE, although "they say it in private. They even say it to me," he stressed.
Núñez Feijóo also had words for Vox, whom he did not mention by name, but described as "those who want to govern with us but criticize us", and those who quarantined their criticism because "they have not managed a euro in their entire lives , and they have not managed a city council, a province, or an autonomous community".
The national president of the PP, faced with this situation of criticism from Vox and the PSOE, asked the Andalusian PP not to get entangled in his speech, to present his government balance, which is outstanding, and to "talk about Andalusia." And if others want the PP to talk about who the government is going to agree with or with whom it is going to condition, "let them talk about Andalusia, because if we talk about Andalusia they lose and we win."
The management of the Government of Juanma Moreno, he underlined, can present very good data: economically, having made Andalusia go from the caboose of the economy, to the locomotive of Spain"; in fiscal policy, the PP can present "the lowering taxes, obtaining more revenue"; in the reform of the administration "little by little the beach bars that the PSOE had in Andalusia to open hospitals and public services are being turned off", and in honesty "let's talk about the Andalusian PP".
"To each insult", underlined Feijóo, "a proposal", to "each smokescreen and each provocation, and each attempt to divert attention, Andalusia, Andalusia, Andalusia".
And Juanma Moreno, displaying the description that Feijóo made of him: "a calm president in his forms, who does not transmit viscerality or fracture", the Andalusian president presented himself with the promise of a new fiscal reform, either in the tax inheritance, expanding the beneficiaries not only to direct relatives, or with the deflation of personal income tax.
But the Andalusian president, above all, elegantly extended his hand to the hitherto "socialist voters distanced by Sánchez's erratic policies." What he asks of them is that they "think about it, reflect" and then decide what is best for Andalusia and for Andalusians. They already know him and they know the policies he makes, just as they know what Sánchez does, he said.
