The Central Government yesterday expressed its total indignation at the new journalistic revelations published by La Vanguardia about the practices of the previous executive of the Popular Party, who already in 2014 turned to the then commissioner José Manuel Villarejo to spy on the family of Pedro Sánchez .
The same first vice-president of the Government and deputy general secretary of the PSOE, María Jesús Montero, highlighted this in front of the socialist federal committee. “Now we know, new data is being published today, that the dirty war against Pedro Sánchez and his family started a decade ago, ten years ago, from the same day this organization elected him secretary general”, Montero denounced .
“But ten years later, in the dirty war against Pedro Sánchez, they are still the same: the Popular Party and the far-right associations”, pointed out the vice-president, referring to the formation now led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo and Manos Limpias, the pseudo-ultra union that Villarejo claimed to control at the time and that the president’s wife, Begoña Gómez, has now also denounced.
Montero considered former president José María Aznar as the “spiritual leader shared by the right and the extreme right”, and Alberto NúñezFeijóo and Santiago Abascal as his best “disciples” for “making mud”. “What they know how to do best”, he reprimanded. “But let’s say it loud and clear: they can’t get away with it!”, asked the socialist leader, faced with the “mud strategy” of the right. “We are conspired against hatred and against its main weapon: disinformation”, defended Montero, so as not to turn “politics into a mud”.
The Minister of Transport, Óscar Puente, already summarized the day before these maneuvers of the PP revealed by the new journalistic information: “They are a mafia”.
And yesterday, also in front of the PSOE federal committee, the minister communicated a forceful message “to the Spanish right”. “Spain is not an estate, and it is not his. We, the socialists, are not the owners of this estate. Spain is no longer that of Los santos inocentes that Delibes described. The only Spain that remains from those times survives in its power structures”, warned the minister.
“But as much as it costs them to understand it, and even more to accept it, Spain is a modern State, and we have at least the same right as you to govern it”, replied Puente to the people. The legitimately elected president to rule Spain, he said, is Pedro Sánchez. “He is not a usurper, nor a squatter, he has not taken away anything that belongs to them, because the power is not his, it belongs to the people, and he decides to whom he grants it every time he is summoned to the polls”, he insisted . “Stop smearing and smearing public life every time the people turn their backs on them!”, he demanded from the PP.
