Pedro Sánchez: "Spain is going in the right direction and the opposition is rampaging"

"They are to make mud and we are to govern." Pedro Sánchez said it this Sunday in reference to "the lies of a PP and Vox that are the same." And he has asked himself: "What is this opposition doing? They have been announcing the apocalypse for six years, but we are growing five times faster than the eurozone and we are creating four out of every ten jobs in Europe. Spain is going in the right direction, and the opposition is destroying ".

Pedro Sánchez has closed the extraordinary congress of the PSPV in Benicàssim that has elected Minister Diana Morant as the new general secretary of the second Spanish socialist federation. The president has defended the advances in labor, social and individual rights of his government and has stated that "all the progressive forces in Europe and the world look at Spain with pride." "These facts like job growth are not mere abstractions, they are positive things that help people in their daily lives," he added.

He has referred to the "reactionary offensive of the PP and Vox" as a serious threat "in the face of which we are demonstrating our ability to continue growing and uniting Spanish society, we are not going to stop in these more than three years that we have ahead of us." Once again, Sánchez has referred to the "level of tension in the media and in Congress." "The data on our economy and our progress do not correspond to that level of tension," he added.

For the president, it is also an "asymmetric crisis, some insult and others are insulted, and it insults an extreme right and an extreme right that does not accept having lost the elections and that they are going to be in the opposition for four years." During his speech he asked himself: "How do we deal with such a cataract of insults that seeks to disaffect people from politics?" And he has responded that "in the face of insults we must respond with temperance and the best response to their lies are the policies that we are developing."

He has also referred to Valencian politics, where the PP and Vox govern, without mentioning President Carlos Mazón. "They have a majority and they use it to repeal the Historical Memory Law, reduce the Valencian and dismantle the organizations to monitor corruption." To add that "we are radically different." He also recalled that the advance of the extreme right "is a global phenomenon, there is an extreme right and a right that allows itself to be parasitized, that delegitimizes the adversary, that does not recognize the legitimacy of this government and that uses institutions such as the Senate or the governments autonomous communities to attack the government of Spain".

During his speech he defended the leadership of Diana Morant: "She is a woman who is humble in her ways but with strong determination and convictions." And he has recognized the role of Ximo Puig during his eight years as Valencian president, pointing out that he "has laid the foundations for a more competitive, more social and more exemplary community."
