PP and Vox take to the streets in a fight for leading the "outrage" over the amnesty law

Génova has given the order to take to the streets throughout the country this Sunday to protest against the "absolute transfer" of the socialist Pedro Sánchez to the pro-independence parties as a result of his negotiations for the investiture. The initial plan of the PP was to capitalize on the unrest of the right in the 52 provincial capitals, but Vox has joined the equation in recent hours to dispute that leadership with an envelope that has raised blisters among the national president of the popular , Alberto Núñez Feijóo, and his barons.

The PP was the first to move. At the same time that the round of contacts promoted by Pedro Sánchez for his investiture crystallized, Feijóo called last Monday a day of protest against the amnesty law agreed by the PSOE with ERC and Junts under the motto Spain does not surrender.

The street agitation was solemnized yesterday by the Popular Party with the publication of a manifesto that appeals to "equality, dignity, justice, coexistence and diversity" of Spaniards. "In every corner of our territory we say: No to privilege. No to impunity. No to amnesty," reads the text.

The manifesto that will be read in the squares throughout Spain argues that the Spaniards will show their face, in confrontation with PSOE and Junts, who have decided on governability "outside of Spain", and will not get "on their knees" before "those who hate democracy".

"We go out to the streets and squares of our nation, proud of our democracy, of our Thursdays, of our police officers, of our citizens, of our Constitution. Proud of Spain," the text continues, which emphasizes the importance of being together "despite because they want to divide us."

What the PP did not have is the slogan given by the national leadership of Vox to its militants to join the rallies and prevent the popular ones from capitalizing on the discomfort of the conservative electorate. To date, Feijóo has avoided going hand in hand with Vox in these rallies, and will do everything possible to stay away from Santiago Abascal and prevent a photo with the leader of the extreme right when both coincide in the planned meeting in Madrid's Puerta el Sun.

The popular ones do not hide their discomfort and have repeated that it is "a PP call open to all Spaniards who want to join it, regardless of who they voted for" in an attempt to warn Vox officials of who may attend but not intervene.

Genoa's precautions do not end there. Abascal's movement, inviting citizens to later go to the PSOE headquarters to continue with the mobilizations, has put the PP on alert that it will redouble its vigilance to prevent radical groups from breaking up the concentrations this Sunday as has happened in the last nights on Ferraz street.
