After interviewing the current President of the Government in a program that gave much to talk about, El Hormiguero welcomed the Galician politician Alberto Núñez Feijóo yesterday, who will try to achieve power in our country in the next general elections as head of the Popular Party list.
There was great expectation to know how the popular would face Pablo Motos and if he would show a closer and more human part of himself, leaving aside the seriousness of his position and his responsibilities.
“I have tried to unite the Galicians during these almost 14 years, now I am trying to unite the party and I think we have achieved it, and now, if the Spaniards want, I am going to try to unite Spanish society”, stated the current senator of our country in prime time while explaining that he would love to be the first president in the history of our democracy born “in rural Spain.”
The politician also spoke about the controversial date of the next elections, July 23, 2023: “I think the Spaniards did not deserve this date. How are we going to tell between ten and twelve million Spaniards that they are out of their house, that they interrupt their vacations and come to vote?”.
At a specific moment in the conversation, Motos asked Feijóo about the controversial opinions of the president of the Valencian Parliament, to which the PP leader responded with a reflection that has generated endless comments on Twitter.
“Today I saw a very good advertisement. Price of oranges, kilo: 0.12 euros. Price of plastic bag: 0.15 euros. Do you think that a plastic bag is worth more than a kilo of oranges? What’s the point? in a huge inflation to put the plastic tax on January 1 when the majority of the EU have postponed it for a better occasion?”, he explained before the presenter, who looked at him astonished. In just a few minutes, the Galician got hundreds of comments on the web laughing at his occurrence and criticizing his lack of “connection with the real world.”
Although oranges can cost around 0.30 euros per kilo at source (the money farmers are paid for the product), in stores the reality is quite different. “I want to buy the oranges where Feijóo buys them: 0.12!!!!”, wrote an ironic user on Twitter, hinting that the price is much higher.
According to the official Frutanti website, the price per kilo of oranges in Mercadona is 1.59 euros on average; on the Day you can find it for 0.90 euros; in AhorraMás for 1.69 euros; in Carrefour for 1.40 euros and in Alcampo for 1.08 euros, always depending on the type of orange. Be that as it may, Feijóo’s data is quite far from reality.
