If yesterday it was in Santiago de Compostela, today it was in Ibiza. The president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, continues with his pre-electoral campaign tour of Spain and this Sunday he has participated in a lunch meeting to launch the candidacy of Marga Prohens for the presidency of the Balearic Government.
And if the head of the opposition claimed yesterday in Galicia to go out and win by an absolute majority in the municipal and regional elections in May and established for the PP candidates the "responsibility" of winning, today in the Balearic Islands he has taken a turn of nut more to his criticism of Pedro Sánchez and has accused him of governing by making "theatres", in reference to the videos that the president has starred in recent weeks, and by dint of "slogans" issued from Moncloa.
"In Spain in recent years, politics has become a show in which you cannot talk about what is important and where the trivial is part of the government messages," Feijóo began by saying, who has proposed to make a "vindication heartfelt and sincere" of politics as a tool for managing public money to offer services to citizens and solve problems instead of creating them, which is, as he has argued, how he understands it.
"Every day there are more Spaniards who are bored by politics", denounced Feijóo, for whom Parliament should not be the scene of a "show", which is the formula with which he baptized the next motion of no confidence a few days ago of Vox, but the place to discuss "what is the best solution regardless of where it comes from". In this sense, he has accused the government of electoralism for "thinking every day" about the elections, with politicians whose "sole objective is to stay in power."
"A good budget is better than a striking headline; a good law, than an ingenious tweet; balancing the accounts, than framing a good photo on the Instagram of the politician on duty", he exemplified to postulate a policy "perhaps more boring but more effective" as the one he aspires to develop, he affirms, if he reaches the presidency of the Government, something that Feijóo sees possible because, in his opinion, "Spain is tired of Sánchez", who has "kidnapped" the PSOE, and will vote to "start the change" on May 28.
The coalition government between the PSOE and Unidas Podemos is for Feijóo an example of "frivolity, incapacity, arrogance and cynicism", because, as he has argued, he is more concerned with "banners" than with "laws", as has been seen, in his opinion, with the law of only yes is yes, which, the leader of the PP has denounced, has caused the release of 600 prisoners convicted of sexual crimes while another four thousand await a sentence review in prisons.
In this sense, rather than talking about the "most feminist" government, something that Sánchez presumes about, as Feijóo has stated, one should talk about the government that "has most unprotected women in the history of Spain", which, far from Being a model for Western Europe, as the president had promised, is rather a counterexample that no country will want to emulate, as seen by the conservative presidential candidate.
In the same line of argument, Feijóo has also rejected the "slogan" that he attributes to Moncloa that the Spanish government is the most "transparent", because, in the opinion of the popular leader, he has not explained in Congress the shipment of weapons to Ukraine, nor the dependence on Russian gas, which, according to the head of the opposition, accounts for 20% of Spanish imports of that source of energy, or what has been agreed with Morocco regarding Western Sahara, which has motivated the "rupture" of relations with Algeria, although only yesterday the Algerian president spoke that the agreements were "frozen, but not cancelled."
As he had done the day before in Galicia and in another bilingual community such as the Balearic Islands, Feijóo has repeated his conception of the diversity of Spain as a value and has highlighted that it is one of the oldest states in the world and a "reference" both in the American continent as in the European, "with more than 500 years of history".
"Spain wants to go back to being a plural Spain; the Spain of languages, all Spanish, that are spoken in their territories; the Spain of sensibilities, of accents, which make up a mosaic of diversity that takes shape on the common ground of a nation made up of different peoples and sensibilities", has defended the president of the PP, who already said on Saturday in Santiago that his vision of Spain goes beyond that of the big cities, in a veiled allusion to Madrid.
