After the “full stop” that Pedro Sánchez talked about in the appearance to announce that it will continue, after five days of suspense, what is coming is an “epilogue” that will put an end to his “agony”, he predicted Alberto Núñez Feijóo. With no intention of spoiling, the leader of the PP hopes that this chapter does not foresee the initial script to be short, suitable for the “new time” that it needs: “A new government with a president who is up to it”, himself.
But the alternation will arrive, in any case, as ripe fruit, because the head of the opposition will not present a motion of censure destined to fail before the parliamentary majority of the investiture, given that the leader of the PSOE “has bought the support of its partners with the dignity of all Spaniards”, denounced Feijóo, who will limit himself to waiting for the “attrition” due to the Amnesty law and the Koldo case to cause his downfall.
“He can prolong the agony and decay, but his project is over”, affirmed Feijóo in his speech, after listening, with his steering committee, to the president’s arguments to continue at the head of the Government Spanish “even more strongly”.
Far from accepting his reasons, the popular leader dismissed them as an attempt to divert the focus from his problems, which are “corruption in his party, his government and his environment”, he reiterated. A “flight forward”, he assured, that exudes the desire for a “regime change”, that is, to return to an authoritarian past in which the leaderships did not allow “replication” or “emulate regimes that do not believe in the full freedom”.
“He wants the Spanish to resign from democracy, but we will not be silent,” exclaimed Feijóo, for whom Sánchez represents a “threat” to constitutional values ??to the extent that he “wants to impose a project of pure power without limit” and “prevent the control” of its management by equally legitimate counterweights, such as the opposition, the courts or the media, which are not agents of any “persecution”, he alleged, but are part of “normality democratic”.
The president’s pause for reflection has therefore been pure “theatre”. A mere representation, moreover, in which Sánchez has given the King, whom he visited at the Zarzuela palace before appearing at the Moncloa palace, the role of “secondary actor”.
“If there was no resignation or explanation, what happened? The threats of a cornered president who wanted to unite his people at the expense of dividing Spain in two”, Feijóo asked and answered in front of the press in Genoa. “But Spanish society will not be fooled”, advanced the denouement of a plot which – he analyzed – follows the same formula of “with me or against me” with which the “blackest pages of the history” of the country.
The conclusion is that the story does not belong to the epic genre, nor is its protagonist a classic hero: “Sánchez cannot bear anything that does not give him the right: everything depends on his pride and vanity, he needs to be acclaimed, but it didn’t go the way he wanted”, Feijóo argued in his diatribe, in which he portrayed the president of the Spanish Government as a man without virtue: “Where he was looking for respect, he found mockery. But there will come a time when he will have to listen to the Spanish. Today (for yesterday) he missed a great opportunity to leave. He has chosen the most unworthy path.”
