“In the next legislature, young people will be the main protagonists of our government action,” he promised. Pedro Sánchez thus once again focuses on young people the most striking, and free, initiatives of the electoral program with which he contests the general elections on July 23. The leader of the PSOE has revealed some of these measures, during the act that he has starred in Madrid on this first day of the electoral campaign. In particular, two impact proposals for the youngest.
One of them will be the “total free” urban public transport for children and students up to 24 years of age. A measure, in line with the current discount on public transport for young people, which Sánchez has assured will help reduce traffic congestion in cities and mitigate the climate emergency.
The other is the free university studies and higher professional training for those students who pass the subjects “the first time”, as announced.
Pedro Sánchez needs to go beyond the limits of the mere socialist electorate to achieve the support of a broad social majority that allows his re-election as Prime Minister after the general elections on July 23. For this reason, on this first day of the electoral campaign, the PSOE leader has even demanded the support of Partido Popular voters who are “ashamed” of the agreements signed in autonomous communities and town halls between the formations of Alberto Núñez Feijóo and Santiago abascal.
“I ask for the vote of those who have always voted for the PSOE. But we have to be aware that in this contest we need much more support. And for this reason, with all due respect to other political parties, I ask for the vote of urban and rural Spain,” Sánchez demanded. “And I ask those who voted for other political options to vote. I even ask those who have voted for the PP and feel ashamed of Feijóo’s pacts with Abascal to vote ”, he stressed.
Sánchez has thus insisted on focusing on the fear of the irruption of the ultra-right in the institutions, hand in hand with the right. And even his upcoming arrival at Moncloa. He already warned the day before that his duty is to alert the citizens of a possible coalition between the PP and Vox, and that he will do so every day of this electoral campaign.
The head of the Executive has claimed not to take “not a step back” in the advances in rights and social conquests. “We have already seen the trailer for this dark film starring Feijóo and Abascal and their impudent pacts, and we did not like it at all,” he pointed out about the agreements signed between the PP and Vox in autonomous communities and town halls. “We have already seen enough, the Spanish are not going to see the entire film”, he pointed out. And with the vote of 23-J “we are going to say yes to the advance, no to Abascal, and we will say no to Feijóo like that.” “Not that way. Not with Abascal, never!” Sánchez has claimed.
The leader of the PSOE has presented this Friday in Madrid the main lines of his electoral program, with the priorities in the consolidation of economic growth and job creation, the ecological transition, the reinforcement of public services, youth and equality between men and women. One of the major objectives is to guarantee “coexistence” to consolidate overcoming the territorial crisis in Catalonia. And Sánchez has referred to the former president Carles Puigdemont, after the European justice withdrew his parliamentary immunity and reopened the door for his extradition.
“Some long for the Catalonia of Puigdemont. And I love the Catalonia of Salvador Illa, ”said Sánchez, referring to his former Minister of Health, who placed the PSC as the first political force in Catalonia. And he has highlighted that this is the best example of the “great change” that has taken place in Catalonia since he arrived at Moncloa five years ago.
