This Saturday, the Government expressed its total indignation at the new journalistic revelations published by La Vanguardia about the actions of the previous executive of the Popular Party, who already in 2014 turned to the then commissioner José Manuel Villarejo to spy on the family of Pedro Sánchez.
The first vice president of the Government and deputy general secretary of the PSOE, María Jesús Montero, highlighted this before the socialist federal committee. “Now we know, new data is published today, that the dirty war against Pedro Sánchez and his family environment began a decade, ten years ago, from the same day this organization elected him general secretary,” denounced Montero.
“But ten years later, in the dirty war against Pedro Sánchez, the same ones remain: the Popular Party and the far-right associations,” said the vice president, in reference to the formation now led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo and Clean Hands, the pseudo-union. ultra that Villarejo claimed to control then and that now he also denounced the president's wife, Begoña Gómez.
Montero considered former president José María Aznar as a “spiritual leader shared by the right and the extreme right,” and Alberto Núñez Feijóo and Santiago Abascal as his best “disciples” to “make mud.” “What they know how to do best,” he reproached. “But we say, loud and clear: They can't get away with this!” demanded the socialist leader, in the face of the “mud strategy” of the right. “We are conspired against hatred and against its main weapon: misinformation,” Montero defended, so as not to turn “politics into a quagmire.”
The Minister of Transport, Óscar Puente, already summarized the day before these maneuvers of the PP revealed by new journalistic information: “They are a mafia.”
And yesterday, also before the federal committee of the PSOE, the minister sent a strong message “to the Spanish right.” “Spain is not a farm, and it is not yours. We, the socialists, are not the cachicans of that farm. Spain is no longer that of The Holy Innocents that Delibes described. The only Spain that remains from those times survives in its power structures,” the minister warned.
“But, as much as it may be difficult for you to understand it, and even more so to accept it, Spain is a modern State, and we have at least the same right as you to govern it,” Puente replied to the popular ones.
The president legitimately elected to govern Spain, he stated, is Pedro Sánchez. "He is not a usurper, nor a squatter, he has not taken anything that belongs to them, because the power is not his, it is the people's, and he decides who he grants it to every time he is called to the polls," he insisted. . “Stop muddying and poisoning public life every time the people turn their backs on you!” he demanded of the PP.
