The PSOE has decided to take to the streets at this start of the political year to "directly explain to citizens the measures and policies adopted by the Executive for their benefit" and, as Pedro Sánchez has done this afternoon, boast of the social shield deployed despite the "constant rejection" of the opposition. Strengthened by the European support for the Spanish recipes in energy matters, the President of the Government has gone a step further and has even demanded that the EU align itself even more with the energy policies deployed by the Government.
The socialist general secretary took advantage of the start in Seville of the campaign El Gobierno de la Gente, with which the PSOE hopes to turn the polls around, to address the European Commission and Brussels and demand that "once and for all the energy reforms that Spain has been asking for for months to defend the working middle class and the productive fabric of our country".
Sánchez has made special emphasis on the great political value of the decision taken yesterday by the G-7 to set a ceiling on the price of Russian oil since, given the Russian reaction of cutting off the pumping of its gas pipelines to the old continent, "it remains confirmed that Moscow uses energy as a weapon of war".
Analyzing the impact of the current energy situation on the national market, the President of the Government has ruled that "it is not the same that governs the social democracy than the right". Sánchez has guaranteed that the Iberian exception will shield the Peninsula from the rise in energy prices until at least 2023 and has recalled that, today, "there are many countries that look with envy at Portugal and Spain because they have achieved an intervention that they did not have in their countries.
For all these reasons, he has criticized the PP for "voting against common sense" as, in his opinion, it has done in recent months by opposing a large part of the measures promoted by the Government. And, adding Vox to his list of those questioned, Sánchez has remarked that "loving Spain is working for the good of its people from the government and from the opposition."
"I propose that you do a test, after each government measure, you can check what the reaction of the large energy companies has been and what the reaction of the PP has been: SMI, free transport, special tax on electricity companies. They are identical and It is not a coincidence. To put it clearly, we are in how to protect the great majority from the blow of inflation and the energy crisis and they are in something else. And I think we all know what it is, "he denounced.
The Government of the People has finally been the name chosen by Ferraz for this electoral pre-campaign with which he hopes to turn the polls around. The novelty lies in the format. A kind of I have a question for you for which, after the usual speeches, the microphone is offered to the attendees to formulate and transmit their doubts and concerns.
This will happen again this Monday when Sánchez receives fifty citizens in Moncloa in an act that has already caused several jokes due to its similarity to the listening process promoted under the acronym of Sumar by the second vice president, Yolanda Díaz.
This Saturday has been the first political act that Sánchez will star in Andalusia after the electoral campaign of the regional elections on June 19, which yielded a victory for the PP-A by an absolute majority. Accompanied, among others, by the general secretary of the PSOE-A, Juan Espadas, the mayor of Seville, Antonio Muñoz (PSOE), and the Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero, Sánchez took a walk around the neighborhood of Seville of Pino Montano to recover contact with citizens after the "extremely harsh and unexpected pandemic".
In this sense, the leader of the Executive has announced that, after approval by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), vaccines against covid adapted to variants will begin to arrive in Spain next week so that "at the end of September we will be ready to start booster doses for the most vulnerable people.
