In the path that Alberto Núñez Feijóo had designed to reach Moncloa, he did not take into account an element that in the opinion of the people may be the main obstacle to winning the general elections of July 23 with a sufficient majority to be able to govern: demobilization. The election date coincides with the holidays of two and a half or three million citizens and the fear of the people is that they will not go to vote.
For the PP, only abstention can prevent them from winning the general elections as they won the municipal and regional elections on May 28, and that the change they propose is a reality. Let it be an unstoppable change, like what the president of the PP saw possible on the night of the municipal elections.
To clarify the obstacle of abstention, Feijóo asked for “an incontestable majority” yesterday, during the intervention in an event held in Galicia, where he met with the villagers. The leader of the PP will focus on trying to mobilize the electorate, which does not falter after having won the 28-M. He asked them to vote even if they are far away, on vacation, or “even if it is necessary to postpone the rest”. The call has a special meaning in Galician lands, since the elections fall in the middle of a bridge, the day of Galicia, on July 25.
There are 42 days left until the elections, which is the time left for “sanchismo”, according to Feijóo. Only twenty-four hours after the celebration of the federal committee of the PSOE on Saturday, the president of the PP assured that “Sánchez has not understood anything that Spain told him on May 28, but he has also not understood anything that his party has said”, where, he stressed, “there have been purges on the lists, candidates who resign en masse and barons who were not there”, he said with reference to the presidents of Aragon, Javier Lambán, and Castilla-La Mancha, Emiliano GarcÃa Page.
Feijóo addressed both of them yesterday to say that a victory for the PP also suits them, because, he assured, “if the PP wins and governs, it will be a historic opportunity to rebuild the Socialist Party that existed before Sánchez. It will be a historic opportunity, and we will give it.”
According to Feijóo, getting the “unappealable majority” he needs to reach Moncloa can make possible, he said, “a better government, a government for everyone, where the value of the given word is recovered, and it returns to a government of the people, a government that fulfills”, and that does not celebrate defeats.
With this aim, the leader of the PP encouraged those who want him to be president of the Spanish government to vote. He again insisted on mobilization, which is very necessary to “have a government that can be trusted, that there is no government that lies”. Feijóo wanted to be optimistic, he assured that “things are going quite well”, but he emphasized that no one should be trusted.
Feijóo’s barometer to know that the PP is on the right track to win the 23-J, he said, is “the level of insults” that the socialists dedicate to him, and especially President Pedro Sánchez. “Some say I’m soft, others that I’m ultra”, but they always “insult me”, he lamented, while the leader of the PSOE “is more concerned about the lists than his program”, because, he insisted, he knows that cannot govern.
“There are chances of winning”, he stressed, in an optimistic tone, and predicted that it is the “end of the traca of Sanchism”. “There are 42 days left for all this to end and to put an end to Sanchism, and we will do it”, affirmed the leader of the PP, who assured that his victory will demonstrate “that Spain is once again a reliable country, that abandons the populism and the absurd independence that support the current central government.
But despite the good perceptions, Feijóo wanted to emphasize the need to go to vote, not to relax, not to waste time celebrating the results of the PP on 28-M, but to think about 23-J.
