Feijóo asks to concentrate the vote around the PP to govern alone

Feijóo looks for votes even under the stones. Whatever it takes to get close to the absolute majority that allows him to govern alone. So far, he has asked the voters of Vox, the PSOE and the abstentionists. But he needs more, and he has already included in this appeal Podemos voters, in addition to those who previously voted Ciudadanos. All for the change to take place.

The president of the Popular Party traveled to Zaragoza and Guadalajara yesterday. It is necessary to win votes and this goal is very present in his speech and in his actions. And he is convinced that it is possible. "We are on the way to achieve a good electoral success", said the popular leader, who encourages people to vote for him to be president, because "we will decide the history of Spain in the next decade".

That is why the president of the PP aims for transversal support and that is why he has placed a large canvas in a central building on which he sends this message: "If you want a president who governs for everyone, vote for Feijóo", says the slogan. The banner has a background with five colors, in the form of bars, from all the parties of the political spectrum: purple from Podemos, red from the PSOE, blue from the PP, orange from Ciutadans and green from Vox.

With this message, the PP aims to emphasize that Feijóo's party is the only one that opens the door to a government "without labels, since what is addressed at the polls on Sunday is not a matter of acronyms, or blogs, or of fronts", say the party leadership. They consider that beyond ideologies, Feijóo brings together the sensibilities shared by the majority of Spaniards. He asks that those who previously did so in Podemos vote for him and do not want Vox to have political weight", those who voted for the PSOE but do not like "its management or its pacts", those who voted for Ciutadans "to be a moderate center option" and to those who opted for Vox "to defeat Sanchism and independence".

The useful vote for the PP, says Feijóo, "is the only ballot that guarantees change". All these voters were addressed in Zaragoza, before going on to Guadalajara. Today it will be in Madrid and Barcelona. The message is that achieving this majority is possible "if those who want change vote", if "those who have been harmed by the date that has been chosen vote", if "all those who have requested a vote by mail can vote ” and if “those disappointed with the Government do not stay at home”. But he needs them all: "Nothing is done yet".

The president of the PP explains in his rallies what he offers them if they vote for him and is elected president: "A government that spends less, that helps those who need it most to make ends meet; a government that would lower taxes, that would guarantee the stability needed to get investments", that would universalize education from zero to three years" to help the most modest families.

A government, he underlines, "that recovers the dignity of the nation", that gives guarantees that "the nation cannot be fractured because it needs the vote of the pro-independence parties to be in power". It would be a "competent government that would never make a law like that of only yes is yes". A government, in short, with which "there would be no Sanchism, there would be no blocs or blockades, and there would be a government".
