Yesterday, Pedro Sánchez entered the GPS coordinates of his route to the investiture and being able to translate into a new government the "social majority" that has turned its back on "repeal and retrogression" into a "parliamentary majority in Congress of the Deputies".
As he already did on Sunday, and in writing, Sánchez rejected in a video Alberto Núñez Feijóo's proposal to hold a meeting so that the popular leader can obtain the consent of the Socialists to govern as the party with the most votes, in which he to be convinced of being able to incorporate into the coalition groups that distanced themselves from the central government during the last legislature.
The acting president of the Spanish Government understands that "the fatigue" derived from a legislature marked by "the adversities derived from the pandemic and the war in Ukraine", and to which "the intense propaganda of the duo PP and Vox" has contributed. it has been able to promote a distancing which it now aims to end in order to "consolidate economic growth" and "reinforce our welfare state".
Appealing to that sum of acronyms, to which the nationalist parties must be inexorably attracted, Sánchez guarantees effective steps for the "reconstruction of political, social and territorial cohesion" that leave behind the "sterile confrontation and political corruption ” which, without saying it explicitly, he attributed to the two right-wing parties.
Sánchez also set the challenges on which the legislature would be based with the Socialist Party in command and promised to make access to housing the great state cause of the coming years, as well as to make Spain the country of reference in the response to the digital and economic revolutions.
Despite the fact that Sánchez's determination to revalidate the presidency of the Government was clear, the PP was willing to maintain the struggle insisting on its legitimacy to lead a negotiation for his investiture.
It was first done by its general secretary, Cuca Gamarra, who presented popular training as the "only guarantee of governability".
After backing down on the possibility of opening a negotiation with Junts, which caused so much internal commotion on Saturday after the insinuation made by the deputy secretary of regional coordination, Pedro Rollán, Gamarra urged the PSOE to accept the election result and, consequently, to reconsider its refusal to negotiate with Feijóo. "We are very tenacious and do not throw in the towel", he warned.
And hours later, once Sánchez's video was made public, it was the leader of the PP who used his Twitter profile to claim that, "as the winner of the elections, my duty is to listen to the rest of parties".
Clinging to the argument of the list with the most votes, Feijóo advanced that "he will not accept in any case that it is intended to turn half of the Spaniards into a minority". And he censured the socialist road map, saying that "marginalizing millions of citizens is not forming majorities, but dividing the country", which confirmed that the mutual blockade will not begin to be resolved until the Courts are constituted, from the day August 17, and the King designates a candidate for the investiture.
