Alberto Núñez Feijóo brings to Galicia a message of Spanish politics because he intends to convey to the Galicians what would mean that the PP would not obtain the absolute majority that would allow it to govern, and that the presidency of the Xunta would fall to the BNG, partner of Pedro Sánchez in Madrid, and with relations with ERC and Bildu that highlight the popular Galicians.
The alternative, he says, is to move the Government of Spain or Catalonia to Galicia, “that build walls”, while the PP builds bridges. As an example, he said that the three communities that have offered to the Government of the Canary Islands to host part of the immigrants they receive have been Galicia, Madrid and Aragon, “the three governed by the PP, none by the PSOE”, and that the the first “autonomous president who has made himself available to the Catalan authorities to bring water has been the president of the Valencian Generalitat, of the PP” and the PP is committed to “helping Catalans through the drought”. “We must do more, because it is a first-level problem”, he stressed.
It was a rally in Spanish, in a campaign parallel to that of the candidate for re-election, Alfonso Rueda. The formula was invented by Feijóo. His campaigns were his. He was talking about Galicia. In the campaign, the Galician PP ruled, but the national leaders were welcome. They went to Galicia to complement, not to be protagonists. So there were two caravans, that of the candidate and that of the president of the PP. This formula was carried over to Andalusia and other campaigns. Thus the message reaches more places; and this is what Núñez Feijóo is doing in the first Galician campaign in which he is not at the top of the list.
In the first days of the campaign, the leader of the PP has not left Galicia, and today he will again dedicate his day to the campaign. Only his parliamentary commitments to Congress will distract him from one goal: to win with an absolute majority.
Feijóo will continue in Galicia because, in addition, the elections will be read in Spanish. Also because he is Galician, he has been president of the Xunta, and according to the CIS, 36.9% of Galicians want Feijóo to be president of the central government, compared to 30% who want Sánchez to be. And although almost 70% of Galicians say that Galician issues will influence their vote, 20% will focus on Spanish political issues.
The popular leader addresses the latter in his interventions, and there is no more topical issue in Spanish politics than amnesty, and the “kidnapping” of the Spanish Government by the pro-independence parties, to whom “Sánchez gives way” , said Feijóo, in his meetings in Ponteareas and Mos, in Pontevedra. There he asked: “Who rules Spain”, and they answered: “Puigdemont”.
“A weak government, divided and hijacked by the pro-independence parties”, emphasized Feijóo. Weak because “he is not able to defend the equality of all Spaniards”, and kidnapped because “he does not care about the problems of the Spaniards, but of a citizen, Puigdemont, who also does not want to be Spanish”. According to him, the Socialists want an amnesty to pay for their investiture, despite the fact that they said there would be no amnesty. Changes of opinion of the PSOE who “no longer even knows the mother who gave birth to him, what would Alfonso Guerra say”.
