Immersed in the electoral campaigns that will take place between now and June, the PP will take advantage of this mobilization to make contact throughout Spain with those who have not been their voters but feel “cheated” by Pedro Sánchez, especially after the pacts of this week with Together to save the decrees. Alberto Núñez Feijóo will take advantage now, therefore, to reach where he has not yet reached.
After forty-eight hours of work in Toledo, the steering committee, announced the president of the PP, decided to put the party “on the road all over Spain”, to talk to the citizens and share the goal of “stopping the feet to those who intend to dismember, divide, fracture and erect walls between Spaniards”.
A large electoral caravan will tour all the cities and towns of Spain to tell the Spanish that “they are not alone”, and to become “a symbol of resistance”. “That Spain does not accept threats or blackmail and is ready to claim its rights”, he said. Even more so after Sánchez “brought the country to a borderline situation”.
Feijóo frames within this route the mobilization in Madrid, on January 28, against the agreements with Junts. His will is to give “a forceful message” that the popular people do not agree with what is happening”. And he promises the social majority “abandoned” by the Spanish Government to “maintain territorial unity, coexistence and equality”, and at the same time tells these citizens that “they are not alone” and that the PP shares “their indignation”.
The PP was looking for how to face the next electoral challenges and has found the formula. What has happened during the week, when, according to Feijóo, the Spanish Courts were “humiliated since Waterloo, where the votes of the deputies were decided”, has given the PP the route plan.
According to the popular leader, Wednesday’s vote shows the extent to which Sánchez is willing to “go ahead whether or not with his projects and to market with what is not his”. In this sense, Feijóo made reference, above all, to the “dismantling of immigration” that the agreement with Junts entails, which “fractures national sovereignty”, means “removing the National Police from Catalonia” and gives up control of the borders on someone whom Sánchez previously considered “the Le Pen of Spanish politics”.
So, he warned that “more surrenders will come” from the socialists in the coming months. And at this point he referred to the fact that the Spanish Government has not yet presented a draft budget, which is why he assured that if sedition was repealed in 2023 so that the accounts would be approved, and that if in order to move forward immigration has been handed over to Junts after three decrees, he said, what will happen to approve those of 2024.
For this reason, Feijóo explained in his speech, open to the press, it is up to the PP to “be more responsible than ever” and present an alternative, not “cross your arms”. “We have the social majority”, he said, 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”, he concluded. A project, he said, of economic growth and job creation that “returns Spain to its rightful place”, and that before the “walls, offers loyalty, equality and coexistence”.
