“This country can only be governed if we assume political plurality and territorial diversity around a common project that is Spain,” Pedro Sánchez warned during the intervention with which this Sunday he put an end to the political convention that the PSOE celebrated during the weekend in A Coruña, and has closed its ranks in defense of the controversial amnesty law for those accused of the process and in the negotiations and agreements with the independence groups.
Sánchez has put the cherry on top of the socialist conclave with a forceful barrage against the right, again with an express reference to the Catalunya operation in which the governments of Mariano Rajoy would have used the resources of the State to persecute the Catalan independence movement. “The way Spain does not unite is with cuts, corruption or Rajoy’s dirty war, or Abascal’s permanent 155, or the absurdity of the illegalization of political parties that Feijóo proposes,” criticized the PSOE leader.
“The future of Spain is not to go back to 2017, to that fateful year for everyone,” said Sánchez, in reference to the year in which the independence process in Catalonia was triggered and the judicial reaction promoted by Mariano Rajoy’s government. . “The future of Spain consists of advancing in rights, coexistence and employment, as the PSOE does when it governs. This is how Spain unites,” the president assured.
“And that is the best and greatest demand of the Spanish Constitution, the one that the socialists defend every time they govern our country,” he concluded, in the face of complaints from the right that his negotiations and agreements with Junts and ERC are breaking up Spain or dynamiting the Constitution. The president has vindicated his policy in Catalonia, which he has assured consists of “reducing space for the territorial confrontation inherited from the previous administration”, in reference to Rajoy’s mandates.
“With full ballot boxes, a sure change!”, Sánchez has claimed, on the other hand, to call for participation and mobilization in the first appointment with the polls of the new electoral cycle, the Galician ones on February 18, before the 1,700 delegates and guests who, according to the organization, met this Sunday at the closing of the political convention that the PSOE held throughout the weekend in A Coruña.
The President of the Government has thus supported the socialist candidate for the Xunta, José Ramón Gómez Besteiro, to try to dislodge the Galician president Alfonso Rueda, after 14 years of uninterrupted governments of the Popular Party in Galicia. The final target placed on Sánchez’s target is the current leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, who the socialists assure would receive a definitive blow of grace if, after having failed to reach the Moncloa after the last general elections, he now lost. also what was their great fiefdom of successive absolute majorities in the imminent Galician elections.
In this sense, Sánchez has forcefully criticized the management of the PP Xunta in the face of the environmental crisis caused by pellets in Galicia. “No crisis can be resolved through arrogance, mismanagement and lies,” he denounced. And he has called to combat the purpose that he has attributed to the PP of not having a large participation in the Galician elections. To do this, he has demanded a great mobilization of the progressive vote to turn the polls around, just as what happened to him himself in the general elections on July 23.
“When there is low participation, the PP governs. And when there is massive participation, the left wins in Galicia,” encouraged the leader of the PSOE. And he has claimed to have “good vibes” about these regional elections and about Besteiro’s options.
“Do you know what sanchismo is?” Sánchez said ironically before the plenary session of the convention. “That Feijóo and Abascal do not form a government. And the same thing is going to happen to Rueda here in Galicia,” he predicted. So he insisted: “Full ballot boxes and sure change!”
