"If the polls have shown us anything in these last general elections, it is that whoever wants to govern Spain has to understand and assume two things, because that is the reality of Spain: political pluralism and territorial diversity," he assured. These are the credentials with which Pedro Sánchez has stated that he will run for re-election as President of the Government. The same ones that have closed the doors, in their opinion, to the investiture of the leader of the Popular Party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo.
On the eve of the PP and the extreme right of Vox meeting again in the street tomorrow to protest against Sánchez and an amnesty for those prosecuted for the process, in the demonstration called by the Catalan Civil Society in Barcelona, the leader of the PSOE has claimed “prudence and moderation” to the Spanish right: “Neither Spain sinks, nor Spain breaks, nor Spain disappears,” he replied during the rally he held this Saturday in Granada and in which, once again, the Andalusian socialists have closed the ranks to successfully complete its negotiations with the Catalan independence movement and manage to articulate a new majority of investiture and legislature. “There will be a progressive government that continues to advance rights and freedoms, and build coexistence within the framework of the Constitution,” he assured.
“In the face of those prophets of the apocalypse, I tell them that Spain lives together, that Spain advances, and that Spain counts more on the international and European stage, thanks to the PSOE administration,” Sánchez stressed, to great applause.
Sánchez has thus tried to refute the arguments of Alberto Núñez Feijóo and Santiago Abascal, which will probably be heard again tomorrow at the Barcelona demonstration. But you cannot think that Spain is sinking, he has warned, the same week in which the community institutions have approved another injection of 93,000 million euros for reindustrialization, job creation and strengthening the welfare state in the country. Nor can it be said, he has insisted, that Spain is isolated, after precisely Granada has held “successfully” the summits of the European Political Community and the informal European Council. Nor is Spain discredited in the world, he added, when it will host the Football World Cup in 2030. Not even Spain is broken, when since he has been in the Moncloa, he has assured, “each and every one of the territories of Spain has complied with the Constitution". The only one that fails to comply with the Magna Carta, he has settled, is the PP, with its blockade of the renewal of the General Council of the Judiciary.
“I know it's very hard, because they've done the rest,” Sánchez said ironically about the last general elections. “I know that they are very frustrated by Feijóo's failed investiture. But in democracy you have to know how to win and lose, and above all you must always respect your opponent and respect the intelligence of the citizens,” he warned the right.
The leader of the PSOE has assured that in the general elections of July 23, "citizens did not elect Feijóo as president of the Government or Abascal as vice-president of the Government." On 23-J, he added, “the citizens did not vote for us to repeat the general elections in January of next year.” Therefore, he has committed "to work for four more years of progress and coexistence, within the framework of the Spanish Constitution." Without uttering the word “amnesty” again, as he did the day before, right in the presence of Ursula von der Leyen and Charles Michel, top representatives of the community club, Sánchez has highlighted that the only thing that truly “breaks equality between Spaniards” They are the pacts between the right and the extreme right in autonomous communities and city councils. “Either they govern with Vox, or they govern like Vox,” he said, in reference to the absolute majority with which Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla governs in Andalusia.
