The PP gets going. Last Monday, before the national executive committee, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, placed the party in “electoral mode”, to face all the appointments with the polls that await it in 2024, but the approval of the Government’s decree laws on Wednesday, change of new assignments to Junts, has changed Feijóo’s intentions, who after two days meeting with the PP steering committee, combines the necessary electoral campaign with another idea, which places the PP, “on the road throughout Spain”, to speak with citizens and together aim to “stop the feet of those who intend to cut up, divide, fracture and build walls between Spaniards.”
A large electoral caravan will tour all the cities and towns of Spain to tell the Spaniards that “they are not alone”, to “give a voice to the voiceless”, to the “citizens defrauded by a president of the Government who accepts extortion to the country”, so that “the route of equality”, as Feijóo calls it, “is a symbol of resistance, that Spain does not accept threats, insults, and is willing to vindicate its rights”, after Sánchez ” has brought Spain to an extreme situation”.
Along with this route, there will be two others, one in the north of Spain, and another in the south, with the same objective, that “those who want to be free and equal send a strong message that we do not agree with what is happening”. This route is part of, according to Feijóo, the street mobilization that the PP will hold again on January 28, in Madrid, to say no to the transfer of immigration powers to Catalonia that the Government has agreed with Junts, according to the Puigdemont’s party, as he has already said no to the amnesty for the independentists involved in the process.
Alberto Núñez Feijóo ended the two-day meeting with his management committee in a cigarral in Toledo, with an open speech to the press in which he made these announcements, given the situation of “political embarrassment” experienced last week, which His judgment places Spain “in the precipice of a dangerous policy”, in the face of which the PP undertakes to “maintain the unity of the national territory, to maintain coexistence, equality and the rights of Spaniards.”
Therefore, in these 48 hours, the PP “has fine-tuned the party”, because it has to represent, he said, “a social majority that is being abandoned by the Government” and face “a situation that we never believed we would have.” to face, and live up to it. Tell the Spaniards “that they are not alone, that we share their indignation”, but that “there is hope and the PP will always be with them.”
The “horrority experienced this week” in Parliament, stressed the president of the PP, “proves that we were right” when they spoke of the “decomposition of the Government”, reflected in Wednesday’s votes, which “have been an embarrassment and a humiliation” not only to Pedro Sánchez or his government, but to Spain, and that he has turned this legislature “into the legislature of extortion”, which shows “that there has never been a weaker government nor a government coalition so divided.”
And in the opinion of Alberto Núñez Feijóo, the Spanish Cortes were “humiliated on Wednesday from Waterloo, where the votes of the deputies were decided” and demonstrates the extent to which Pedro Sánchez is willing, to “remove his projects at all costs, at all costs trade with what is not yours”. The president of the PP refers, above all, to the transfer of the immigration competence agreed with Junts, which he called “the scrapping of immigration”, which he considers “opens the door to the fracture of national sovereignty” and represents ” remove the National Police of Catalonia”, while giving control of the borders “to whom Pedro Sánchez considered the Le Pen of Spanish politics”.
And the bad thing, he stressed, is that “more surrenders will come,” because the legislature has not gotten anything going, and the Government has not yet presented a draft budget, so if in the previous ones it ended up repealing sedition so that The accounts will be approved, and to approve three decree-laws he has made the concessions that he has made to Junts, he does not even want to imagine what will happen to approve the next ones.
Therefore, in Feijóo’s opinion, the PP has to “be more responsible than ever” and present an alternative; not “cross our arms”, because “we do have the social majority”, and despite being in the opposition “it is up to us to replace the government and defend a project of freedom, equality, harmony, regeneration and respect.” A project, he said, of economic growth and job creation that “returns Spain to its rightful place” and that in the face of “walls, offers loyalty”, in the face of transfers, “equality” and in the face of division, “coexistence”.
