The 23-J elections have given rise to a complex political scenario without a clear government majority. The two big parties, PP and PSOE, have grown in votes and seats, while the parties that represent extreme or pro-independence options have notably reduced their numbers. For this reason, it would be contradictory if the governability of Spain ends up depending on the latter.
Faced with the polarizing logic that seeks to divide Spain into two opposing blocs, we believe that it is necessary to recover political cordiality that allows a constructive dialogue between the different parties and, in particular, between the PP and PSOE, in order to face the challenges that we face as a society and to provide institutional stability to our country. Because there is much more that unites us Spaniards than what separates us.
We must leave behind the trends of the past political cycle that have increased polarization, have given rise to political blockades and have deteriorated our democracy, subjecting it to marked institutional stress. Likewise, certain State reforms and policies that require cross-cutting consensus cannot continue to be delayed.
Thus, we ask the PP and PSOE to take advantage of the current government formation process to engage in a dialogue aimed at forging government or legislature agreements, where ideological diversity and pluralism are not an obstacle to understanding each other and agreeing on fundamental policies in interest of all Spaniards and of our own democracy
