Feijóo warns Sánchez that "women are not negotiable" and urges him to change the law

"The woman, in Spain, is not negotiable, correct the law now." It is the warning of the president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, to the president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, whom he reminds that he had promised to register today, as a deadline, the reform of the law of yes is yes "and the Government continues negotiating with himself, the law that the same government approved".

Feijóo has found in the division of the Government for this reform, a new element of criticism of Sánchez, and with which to attack the consequences of the yes is yes law, with the reduction of sentences and release of sexual offenders. The leader of the PP in the absence of a government reform, offers Sánchez the modification that the PP presented in Congress in December, and that has not yet been debated.

"The biggest setback in history for women must be corrected as soon as possible," stressed the president of the PP, who stated that "the government that claims to be the most feminist cannot be allowed to be the one" that has most unprotected women women".

Feijóo made these statements in Alcantarilla (Murcia). The president of the PP promised before the executive committee of his party to get fully involved in the campaign for the municipal and regional elections on May 28, and he seems willing to keep his word. This involvement has led him this Friday to Alcantarilla (Murcia), on the way to the intermunicipal that the PP will hold over the weekend in Valencia.

Public events in two key autonomous communities. In Murcia, the government of Fernando López Miras does not seem to be in danger, according to the data available to the PP, but his aspiration is not to have to depend on Vox, after the experience with Cs that ended in a motion of no confidence that was settled with complicated maneuvers that ended with the presence of Cs in the Government and some expelled member of Vox in the executive of the Murcian leader of the PP.

López Miras has not been able to come to an understanding with Vox during his first term, and in fact the regional budgets hung by a thread due to the refusal of those from Abascal to support her if all her demands were not accepted, including eliminating scholarships for women scientists . In the end, the Murcia accounts came out ahead, since it had the support of the Liberal group, and the splinters of Vox.

The Valencian Community, where the municipal conclave will be held on Saturday and Sunday, has value for the PP, considering it a key square. A victory for the PP, having Andalusia and Madrid in their hands, would mean, de facto, that Feijóo would ensure victory in the general elections. In fact, in the presentation of the regional candidates, three weeks ago, in Zaragoza, the popular leader put it this way to the candidate to replace Ximo Puig in the Valencian Community: "If you are president, I govern", and in the PP assure that there are possibilities that this is the case.

For this reason, the PP has thrown in the rest in this call, and will gather in Valencia, in a talk with Alberto Núñez Feijóo, the former presidents of the PP Government, José María Aznar and Mariano Rajoy, who have been together in a public act since many years. The PP intends, with its presence, to claim the way of managing the PP, which at the time was the greatest asset of the PP, and which Feijóo continues to claim, as the main endorsement with which he will stand in the elections, after his experience at front of the Xunta.

In an intervention during a rally commission, in the purest electoral style, the president of the PP also referred to the Spanish-Moroccan summit held in Rabat, and the fact that the president of the Government was not received by King Mohamed VI, as it's usual. Feijóo stressed the fact that this lack of audience for Sánchez occurred after the "inexplicable and inexplicable lurch" of the Government in its policy on the Sahara, to get along with the King of Morocco.

But above all, the leader of the PP emphasized that Sánchez "went to Morocco to take a photo and was dispatched with a phone call", which in Feijóo's opinion is inadmissible because "this country cannot be humiliated, because this country does not humiliate anyone".

For all these issues, and after the debate on Tuesday in Congress, Feijóo sees Sanchez as "nervous", because if not, he would not behave, as he does, exercising more opposition to the opposition than President of the Government. And it should be, in his opinion, because he is convinced that on May 28, with the municipal elections "which are general elections because you vote in the 8,000 Spanish municipalities", the era of Sánchez will end, "degeneration will be abandoned to exchange it for regeneration, and the time in which the priority is sedition and embezzlement will be left behind", to be able to speak "of water, employment or the management of public affairs".
