Pedro Sánchez is not politically dead, no matter how much Alberto Núñez Feijóo, with the help of Santiago Abascal, wants to give him the last straw in the general elections on July 23. This is the great message that the leader of the PSOE wanted to convey this Sunday, at his first pre-campaign rally in Dos Hermanas, just where his 2017 political resurrection began that ended up taking him to Moncloa a year later. "When they give us up for dead, we have become stronger," warned the mayor of this Seville town and one of his early faithful, Paco Rodríguez, after reissuing the absolute majority that his predecessor, Quico Toscano, also present at the act, revalidated ten times in this municipality. “I have more strength than ever, more desire than ever to win the elections!” Sánchez exclaimed, in front of 4,000 fervent socialist supporters, whom he raised from their seats to great applause.
"Here in Dos Hermanas, where that wonderful adventure that has made us change Spain for the better began, I am not willing for this trip to end here on July 23, Spain and the social majority of this country do not deserve it," Sánchez has highlighted. “We have not made this trip to stay here, we are going to continue fighting and guaranteeing that Spain advances for four more years. I am not willing for the road to end here, the journey must continue!", insisted the President of the Government.
Sánchez has tried to inject combat morale into the Socialists, as he has previously done with another energetic intervention at the rally by Minister María Jesús Montero, deputy secretary general of the PSOE and head of the Congressional list for Seville, now that the wind is blowing against it. With the mobilizing argument of its ranks that it is the threat of a possible government of Feijóo and Abascal in Spain, after the agreements signed by the Popular Party and the extreme right of Vox to snatch autonomous communities and numerous town halls from the PSOE after the elections of 28 of May. He has thus called for the mobilization of the progressive electorate, and to concentrate the vote in the PSOE to avoid the dispersion of the vote of the left.
“This is the lesson that we have to extract from what happened on May 28. make no mistake. If progressive Spain mobilizes and is going to vote on July 23, and if that progressive Spain concentrates all its efforts and all its votes on the PSOE, we will guarantee that Spain continues to grow for four more years," Sánchez demanded. "And we will avoid the role of suffering a government of Feijóo and Abascal," he insisted. The responsibility of maintaining a progressive government in Spain is in any case "non-transferable" from the PSOE, she warned, without referring to Sumar's electoral candidacy led by Vice President Yolanda Díaz. "This is the question: either the socialist ballot or the role of having a PP government with Vox, with Feijóo and Abascal at the head," she warned.
Sánchez has thus warned of the rise of the extreme right throughout Europe, and has urged the PSOE to have "the honor of being the first progressive political force capable of stopping the right and ultra-right in Europe on July 23". . "Let's show the world and Europe that they are not stopping us and that we are going to stop the right and the extreme right!", He has cried.
The President of the Government has insisted on putting pressure on the leader of the PP so that he agrees to star in electoral debates with him, the more the merrier. "I have been summoning Feijóo to debate with me for two weeks and everything has been excuses and long changes," he lamented. Sánchez has assured that Feijóo "does not want to debate because he does not know how to explain his pacts with the extreme right." And because one month before the elections "we still don't know what his economic project is." Nor who would be his ministers, should he arrive at Moncloa, "except for the vice-presidential candidate who is Santiago Abascal", he pointed out in reference to the ultra-right leader.
Feijóo is wrong, he has warned, "because democracy is debates, not monologues, the contrast of data and arguments, not hoaxes and misinformation, democracy is proposals and not insults." "Anyone who does not want to debate does not deserve the trust of the citizens on July 23, because he is hiding something and does not want to show his face," Sánchez challenged.
