The PP may have wear and tear for not agreeing on the renewal of the General Council of the Judiciary, but the popular ones are convinced that if that can cost Feijóo votes, they will cost Pedro Sánchez more for his intention to reduce the penalties for the crime of sedition, in exchange for the ERC approving the budgets.
Hence the offensive that the PP begins today so that all the regional councils and parliaments of Spain pronounce themselves in favor or against this reduction in sentences "and that the independentistas who committed that crime get off scot-free."
And to try to drive a wedge into the PP, and create controversy or encourage it within the PSOE, the campaign begins today in Ciudad Real, with a meeting of the general coordinator of the PP, Elías Bendodo, with the mayors of Castilla-La Mancha and the PP candidate for the Community Board, Francisco Núñez. The first they want to make a statement is Emiliano García Page, who always maintains critical positions with Pedro Sánchez on issues such as the unity of Spain, but in the end, according to Bendodo, "does the same as Sánchez."
And it is that for number three of the PP, Page "is a sanchista inside and a pagista on the outside", because he talks a lot when Sánchez is not there, but when the key moments arrive, they give support to the leader of the PSOE without raising their voices. Something that he has done in taxes, every time the PP has asked for a tax reduction, and the PP is sure that he will do it now, with the crime of sedition.
The PP hopes to regain control of the Government of Castilla-La Mancha and considers that unmasking Page, who has part of his credit in the region for his opposition, at least in public, to Pedro Sánchez, but who later folds to what the socialist leader says, it can help the PP to add support, among that center that can vote for both socialists and popular, but that puts the unity of Spain above all else.
If today it has been Bendodo who has come to Castilla-La Mancha, with his visit to Ciudad Real, tomorrow, Thursday, it will be Alberto Núñez Feijóo who shows up in those lands, with a visit to Guadalajara. "By beating Page we are beating Pedro Sánchez," said the popular candidate for Castilla-La Mancha, Francisco Núñez, who assured that "Page is a sanchista", that "Page is Sánchez's pawn in Castilla-La Mancha".
The PP of Castilla-La Mancha presented its motion on Friday against the reduction of the sentences for the crime of sedition, but according to Francisco Núñez "The Parliament Board vetoed that it be debated this Thursday", and only finds one reason, "because Page did not dares to vote against, and would vote with Sánchez and that those who want to break up Spain do it again".
For this reason, Francisco Núñez will send a statement to Emiliano García Page so that the Castilian-La Mancha president "signs it, if he wants to have something to say and what he announces in Brussels, vote for it and sign it. If not, he stressed, what he said in Brussels it will have remained in verbiage". Núñez summons Page: "Let's see if he has the courage to reject a joint statement that says what he said in Brussels, that he does not agree with the reduction of sentences for crimes of sedition."
