The PSOE labels Feijóo a "useless politician" and the PP a "rotten party of corruption"

Pedro Sánchez himself set the tone last week, when speaking of "thugs" in the Popular Party governments that preceded him, for the use of public funds, and the State security forces and bodies, in addition to the CNI, " to cover up criminal acts and persecute political opponents outside the law.” And today, before the new recordings of the former general secretary of the PP María Dolores de Cospedal revealed by El País, the entire PSOE again comes out the barrage against the alleged cases of corruption that dotted the main opposition party, but raising the shot against its current president, Alberto Núñez Feijóo. Ferraz's spokesman, Felipe Sicilia, has branded Feijóo a "useless politician", and has defined the PP as "a rotten party of corruption".

Sicily has criticized that the PP has voted against measures and reforms promoted by the Government to "improve the life of citizens", from the labor reform to rental aid for the youngest, the rise in the minimum wage, the revaluation of pensions according to the CPI, the bonus in the price of gasoline, or the reduction of VAT on electricity, which he has considered as "a gesture of irresponsibility". “Neither Casado wanted to support these measures nor does Feijóo want to do it now. He is the same PP as always. Feijóo has learned the role of a moderate, but the only thing he does is put himself in profile, playing the role of a useless politician who does nothing to help our country move forward, ”said the PSOE spokesman.

"The PP will go down in history as a corrupt party, as the party of corruption in our country," Sicilia stressed, before the new Cospedal recordings. Ferraz's spokesman has demanded explanations from Feijóo: "Will he continue to deny the evidence?" And he has recalled that the PP "is a party convicted up to three times for corruption in the courts of justice." “The PP is a party rotten by corruption. At this point no one can deny that the PP is a corrupt party, with a structure more typical of a mafia organization than a political organization. It is the same PP as Aznar, M. Rajoy, Casado and Feijóo, a party eaten away by the Gürtel, the Púnica, the Kitchen and now also by the case of the masks in Madrid, a party eaten away by corruption”, he insisted. .

The socialist spokesman has thus denounced that "the PP used the institutions to corrupt them and to cover up cases of corruption." "The PP has used public funds, and has used the police for a single purpose: to benefit from the public and try to cover up their corruption," Sicilia reiterated.

And, before the next elections in Andalusia on 19-J, he has also equated Feijóo with the president of the Board, Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla, "more concerned with hiding, disguising and concealing his disastrous management." Sicilia has warned that Moreno Bonilla hides the acronym of the PP in his electoral campaign, "but what he cannot hide is his desire to agree and govern with the extreme right of Vox." Feijóo, he has lamented, has already announced that in Andalusia he will do the same as he did in Castilla y León: "Look the other way, and allow Macarena Olona and Moreno Bonilla to form a government if the accounts come out." “A far-right government that would be disastrous for Andalusians”, because he, in his opinion, “condemns Andalusia to backwardness”.
