Sánchez accuses Feijóo of "wasting time" with a "fake investiture"

The acting President of the Government and Secretary General of the PSOE, Pedro Sánchez, has accused this Saturday the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, of being "wasting precious time to Spain just to buy time at the helm of the PP" with his "fake investiture", which he has called a "lie" and a "long chronicle of an announced failure". Sánchez made these statements during the opening ceremony of the PSOE political course held in Malaga, which was attended by 1,500 people, according to the party.

Sánchez has also accused the populares of lying for four years in the opposition and that now they are doing it again "with an investiture of lies" by the leader of the populares, who to date needs four seats to achieve an absolute majority. An investiture " fake” that “is a road to nowhere”, he said.

"There is no doubt for anyone, we are going to do what is best for Spain, which is to say 'no' to a PP government supported by Vox and yes to a government of progress and four years of progress," he stressed. Sánchez, at the same time that he has rejected the State pacts that Feijóo offered him in the meeting that both held last Monday in the Congress of Deputies.

In addition, he has denounced that the popular speak of "democratic regeneration" and, at the same time, appeal to the turncoat of PSOE leaders to support Feijóo. For this reason, he has asked "respect" for his party and all political organizations and that they not appeal "to corruption because turncoat is corruption, it is to alter the result of the polls and that is unworthy." "We are going to offer not two, but four years of legislature to continue advancing in rights, freedoms and social achievements", he continued.

Another of the issues that the socialist leader has addressed is the renewal of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ), blocked for almost five years due to the confrontation between the two formations. In his speech this Saturday, Sánchez once again insisted on the need to renew the members of this judicial body before the end of the year and has shown himself willing to "reach out" to the leader of the popular groups to meet this objective " whoever the president is" after the inauguration.

However, he has criticized that the PP accuses its formation of not being "a state party" and defends that it is a constitutionalist party when "it has been breaking the Constitution for five years by blocking the renewal" of the CGPJ. "Let's renew and give a mandate to the Constitution," Sánchez demanded, while stressing that this is the "big difference" between the PP and the PSOE. "We do not hand out constitutionalist cards or make any excuse to always comply with the Spanish Constitution," he added.

The acting President of the Government also took advantage of the event to praise the "exemplary reaction" of the players of the Spanish Women's Soccer Team to the "embarrassing attitudes and speeches" of the president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), Luis Rubiales. and he has implied that he cannot continue to lead the federation after the forced kiss of the player Jenni Hermoso in the final of the Women's World Cup. "One cannot aspire to represent Spain and make Spain feel bad with attitudes and speeches that embarrass us and that do not represent us," he said in reference to Rubiales one day after learning that the Higher Sports Council (CSD) did not may suspend Luis Rubiales as president of the REEF, after the Administrative Court of Sport (TAD) opened a file only for serious misconduct.
