Waiting for the elections on May 12 to “open a new stage” in Catalonia, according to what the Government spokesperson, the socialist Pilar Alegría, confided this Tuesday, in the Moncloa they warn that this new appointment with the Catalan polls will return to leave the Popular Party in “irrelevance”, as already happened in the elections in the Basque Country on April 21, despite the fact that in Galicia the party of Alberto Núñez Feijóo managed to revalidate its absolute majority in the elections of February 18 . “The only way out for Feijóo is the street,” they conclude. And they criticize that the new protest called by the leader of the PP, for next May 26, will only be, once again, “the expression of his personal frustration” for not being able to govern in Spain.
In the Moncloa, in any case, they highlight that this Feijóo strategy “generates many doubts” among the PP's own territorial leaders. “Not even his people follow him,” they say. And they also warn that there is “a lot of lack of coordination” in the popular ranks. “They are bewildered,” they warn.
“One demonstration a month,” the Government spokesperson lamented, in this sense, as Feijóo's “strongest proposal” since he assumed the presidency of the PP. Alegría has wondered why there are these constant calls from Feijóo to hold demonstrations in the streets. “The answer is clear: almost ten months have passed since the last general elections on July 23, and Feijóo has not accepted the electoral result since then,” she stressed. “And that leads him to translate and transfer that frustration to the street, trying to create an absolutely artificial climate and mood, with hoaxes and fallacious arguments,” said the minister spokesperson.
Alegría has highlighted as a “historic fact” that Spain has exceeded the figure of 21 million employed, after the last increase in the labor market. “Every time we learn of positive information for our country, the PP's response is always the same: they take Aznar for a walk and Feijóo calls for a new demonstration,” he criticized.
But in Moncloa they point out that this reaction is beginning to lose steam, after the succession of protests already held against the Government. “Voices have already begun to be heard from the PP barons who do not agree with Feijóo's strategy, because being constantly on the street causes wear and tear on them,” Alegría noted.
