The brand new candidate of the PP to the Congress for Barcelona, ??Nacho Martín Blanco, has presented this morning in the Turó Park the main lines of his campaign, with which he wants to contribute from Catalonia to Alberto Núñez Feijóo reaching the presidency of the Spanish Government and, starting next July 23, put an end to the “ominous lustrum of sanchismo”.
Martín Blanco began by thanking Feijóo for the trust placed in him, who is running as an independent after his recent departure from Ciudadanos, and has praised “the responsibility and moderation” of the conservative leader, who is not an obstacle, as he has pointed out, to show his “firmness” when it comes to encouraging a change that reverses the “political and institutional instability” that, in his opinion, has characterized Spain governed by the coalition of PSOE and Unidas Podemos.
For the number one PP for the province of Barcelona, ??who has been accompanied by the other members of a list of 32 candidates that Daniel Sirera symbolically closes, the “sanchismo” that Feijóo intends to “repeal” has plunged the country into “decline social and institutional”, as a consequence of Pedro Sánchez’s pacts with those who want to “liquidate” the constitutional order, alluding to ERC or EH Bildu.
With Ciudadanos on the brink of disappearance and out of the electoral race of the next generals, Martín Blanco has made a profession of bipartisan faith and has indicated that in Spain there are two “strategic” parties: the PP, whose “sense of State” he has exemplified in Sirera’s support for the socialist Jaume Collboni in the Barcelona City Council so that there would not be a pro-independence mayor, and the PSOE, which under the aegis of Pedro Sánchez has, in his opinion, ignored the “general interest” and has delved into the divisive terrain of “civil warfare”.
Faced with the described panorama, which in Catalonia is aggravated, from his point of view, by the “dangerous consequences” of the independence process, Martín Blanco wants to contribute to the “quiet change” that Feijóo embodies and help him obtain on 23-J a ” historic result” that allows the leader of the PP to “change the coordinates” of the government of Spain.
To this end, Martín Blanco underlined in his speech, delivered entirely in Catalan, the PP will propose a “proposal campaign” in which it will defend an “inclusive and exciting” project for Catalonia in an “integrative” Spain and “suggestive of a life in common” in the face of the “contempt” of the independence movement, whose “suicide gamble” has ousted Barcelona and the whole of Catalonia, as he has described, from their traditional position at the “social and cultural vanguard” of Spain.
The parliament of Martín Blanco has been preceded by that of the president of the PP in Catalonia, Alejandro Fernández, who has extolled the plurality of profiles of the candidacy, with the hard-fought in a thousand battles Santi Rodríguez, an experienced parliamentarian, at number two; Cristina Agüera, right hand of the mayor of Badalona, ??Xavier García Albiol, at number three, and Llanos de Luna, “extraordinary delegate of the Government in a particularly difficult time”, in reference to the process, at number four.
For his part, Josep Tutusaus, mayor of Pontons, general secretary of the PP in Barcelona and candidate for the Senate, has exhibited the good results of the party in the last local elections, in which he has tripled the number of councilors in the Catalan town halls, and He has shown himself convinced that Catalonia will contribute to putting an end to the “nightmare” of the five years of Sánchez’s government: “Things are going well for us and we will change the destiny of the nation on July 23.”
