Sánchez accuses Feijóo of "proposing a mountain of lies" in the face-to-face debate

The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, has valued this Tuesday from Vilnius (Lithuania), just before the start of the NATO summit, his participation in the face-to-face debate between Atresmedia and the opposition leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo. In this regard, the socialist candidate in the general elections on July 23 has accused the president of the Popular Party of "proposing a mountain of lies" in the "absolute absence of a political project and program."

Before the start of the Atlantic Alliance meeting, Sánchez pointed out to journalists that Feijóo made "blatant use, as we have seen in recent years, of terrorism, that of ETA, which fortunately disappeared because Spanish democracy defeated it 11 years ago. years". "Therefore I leave this debate satisfied. Many things have been clarified and it has become clear that the one who has a country project is the PSOE and not Mr. Feijóo," said the head of the central Executive. "Facing what we saw was lies, insults and an unfortunately stark use of ETA terrorism that fortunately Spanish society defeated many years ago", he lamented.

"I am a politician who listens, but I also respond to the falsehoods that are spread about economic growth or the number of self-employed workers," Sánchez continued, noting that Feijóo "even said that [the popular] had approved a revaluation of pensions, which is a lie". "In short, a mountain of lies because behind it there is nothing. What there is is a total absence of a political project and a disturbing tactic by Feijóo to embrace Mr. Santiago Abascal, the Vox party," he concluded.

On the other hand, the President of the Government has insisted that what Spain is at stake on July 23 "is not a mere alternation as has happened in other elections." "We are playing for the first time if Spain continues to advance as we have done during these 40 years of democracy or if we enter a dark tunnel, of time, where we do not know exactly where both Mr. Feijóo and Mr. Abascal could take us " , Sánchez has reiterated. "I think that Spanish society is going to continue betting on progress, it is going to say no to the setback and this involution of PP and Vox", he concluded.
