The gulf between the Government and the PP is so deep that they do not even agree on whether there have been contacts between the two to talk about the anti-crisis plan that Pedro Sánchez wants to extend when the current one ends, at the end of June, and that will determine whether or not there is a direct subsidy for gasoline, among other issues.
First it was the minister spokesperson, Isabel Rodríguez, who in an interview on TVE stated that there had been contacts with the PP, but that no agreements had been reached. Despite this, the Executive spokeswoman assured that the hand is outstretched and that they will try to agree with the PP, for which she challenged Núñez Feijóo that if “he really wants to be something other than Casado”, show that he is willing to reach those agreements.
A few hours later, the general secretary of the PP, Cuca Gamarra, denied at a press conference after the management committee that there had been these contacts. “There has been no contact by the Government in relation to the extension of the royal decree,” assured number two of the PP, who accused Sánchez of not fulfilling his commitment to process the decree as a bill.
The PP attaches great importance to today’s face-to-face meeting between Pedro Sánchez and Alberto Núñez Feijóo, in the control session in the Senate, of which the PP leader is already a member.
“It’s going to be interesting, because we’re going to talk about the real Spain,” assured Gamarra. According to the general secretary of the PP, “the Spanish will be able to verify the differences that exist in substance and in the form between the two political leaders.”
On the one hand, they promise in the PP, Sánchez’s way of governing will be seen, which for the popular is based on “incompetence, tension and lack of credibility”, and on the other there will be the one offered by Núñez Feijóo: “Stability , growth and employment”. Feijóo will offer Sánchez his anti-crisis plan and he will do it, they say, “with respect, parliamentary courtesy and good manners.”
