The week of euphoria that the PP is experiencing after the victory by an absolute majority in Galicia last Sunday, which in Madrid had its first expression in the triumphant reception of Alfonso Rueda, on Tuesday at the headquarters on Génova Street, where the president of The elected Xunta embraced the leader of his party and political mentor, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, to the rhythm of muñeira and among the cheers of the popular family, continued this Friday with the launch of the “Route for equality” campaign.
Next to the monument to the Spanish Constitution in the capital, a setting that has highlighted the symbolic nature of an act in which the PP has established itself as the sole guarantor of the spirit and letter of the Magna Carta approved in 1978, Feijóo has surrounded the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso; the mayor, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, and the deputy secretary of organization of the PP, Carmen Fúnez, who have preceded him in parliaments.
But apart from the main reason for the meeting, which was none other than the demand for the equality of all Spaniards and the proclamation that “Spain is not for sale” to the independence parties that have granted the parliamentary majority that has made the president of the Government to Pedro Sánchez, the day-to-day news has crept into the speeches.
The first to refer to the controversy unleashed by the arrest of Koldo García, right-hand man of former minister José Luis Ábalos, for his alleged involvement in a plot that profited from the sale and purchase of masks in the middle of the pandemic was Almeida, who predicted that The same thing is going to happen to Pedro Sánchez as the socialist advisor, to whom today “no one recognizes that they knew him”: “No one is going to want to say that he worked and collaborated with the Sanchismo,” stated the mayor, who has defined corruption as the main characteristic of the Government.
Ayuso has not been left behind in his diatribe against Sánchez over this matter, which in his opinion demonstrates that the “alleged moral superiority” of the socialists actually translates into a “very great ethical inferiority” that is evidenced in “privileges and corruption.” like those that are now being investigated.
“Sánchez is a president who has not been elected by the citizens, but by the secessionists, the extreme left and Bildu,” the Madrid leader has come to affirm in her insult, in which she has accused the President of the Government, on an official visit to Morocco, of of “hiding in Rabat” while in Spain this “scandalous plot with dozens of detainees” came to light.
“We are held responsible for the death of a duck,” he said, referring to the controversial celebration of the mascletà last Sunday in Madrid Río, “and now Sánchez does not want to take responsibility for what happens in his government,” he exclaimed. Ayuso, who has rejected that this “national plot” can be compared to the one that affected her brother, also due to the sale and purchase of masks in the pandemic, and that motivated her confrontation with the previous leader of the PP, Pablo Casado.
In this sense, the president of the Community has pointed out that Koldo García “went from being a brothel doorman to a Renfe advisor” while Tomás Díaz Ayuso had worked for 26 years in healthcare. “They intend to defame my Government, my family and me, I tell all of them: I like fruit very much,” the Madrid leader has boldly charged, for whom “I like fruit” is the euphemism for a vulgar insult.
“Everything that is coming out and what is about to come out would make any government fall, but this one is clean of Koldo and straw,” he concluded in a play on words much celebrated by the attendees, who also applauded when Ayuso asked that Sánchez “leave the Catalans alone” and stated that “what is good for Carles Puigdemont is bad for Catalonia.”
For his part, Feijóo has denounced the “extortion” to which, in his opinion, the Government is subjected by the independentists, as it represents a “threat” to the equality of all Spaniards and establishes first and second class categories. second among citizens. “What does a farmer have to do: threaten a referendum so that they listen to him?” he asked himself the day after the tractor rally in the capital.
For the head of the opposition, “Spain is too big for the President of the Government”, an idea that, from his point of view, is demonstrated when Sánchez “proposes to build a wall that isolates him from the nation, underestimating the citizens.” and disqualifying those who think differently.
And as for the “advisor for everything” Koldo García and his “bites”, Feijóo has questioned that Sánchez “remains silent about the facts” while “insulting those who ask him for explanations.” “He hides and muddies in the face of an open and very serious investigation,” denounced the president of the PP, for whom the newly discovered plot may be related to the case of Tito Berni, for which he has asked for explanations from “all the ministries involved” and especially to the heads of Health, both the current one, Mónica García, and the previous ones, among whom is the Catalan Salvador Illa.
In this context, for Feijóo it is clear that Sánchez, whom he has accused of believing “himself the measure of all things”, has turned the PSOE into a group of “paid palmeros” from which they have been separated, expelled or the dissenters have gone, so he has predicted that socialist voters, as has happened, according to his analysis, in Galicia, will be divided from now on “between separatism and those who oppose it.” “Enough is enough, Galicia has told him and Spain is going to tell him,” he proclaimed.
