“This country can only be governed if we assume political plurality and territorial diversity around a common project, which is Spain”, Pedro Sánchez warned yesterday at the closing of the political convention that the PSOE held in A Coruña and in which he also argued in defense of amnesty for those accused of the process of negotiations and agreements with pro-independence formations.
Sánchez put the icing on the cake with the socialist conclave with a harsh attack against the right, which accuses him of breaking Spain: “The way Spain does not unite is with cuts, corruption, Rajoy’s dirty war, Abascal’s permanent 155 or the nonsense of the illegalization of political parties proposed by Feijóo”, replied the leader of the PSOE.
“The future of Spain is not to go back to 2017, to that black year for everyone”, alleged Sánchez. “The future of Spain consists of advancing rights, coexistence and employment, as the PSOE does when it governs. This is how Spain unites!”, he assured.
And this is, moreover, “the best vindication of the Constitution”, he stressed, despite the constitutional threats that the PP attributes to the PSOE’s pacts with the pro-independence parties.
The president vindicated his policy in Catalonia, which he assured that he pursues “encroaching spaces for the territorial confrontation inherited from the previous administration”, with reference to the mandates of Mariano Rajoy.
Precisely in Galicia, where the PSOE held its convention as a springboard for its candidate for the Xunta, José Ramón Gómez Besteiro, Sánchez called for participation and mobilization in the first date with the ballot boxes of the new electoral cycle, in the Galicians of February 18.
“With full ballot boxes, change for sure!”, shouted Sánchez, in front of the 1,700 delegates and guests who, according to the organization, attended the closing of the conclave.
The PSOE leader accompanied Besteiro to push him to oust President Alfonso Rueda, after 14 years of uninterrupted PP governments in Galicia. The final target in Sánchez’s target is Alberto Núñez Feijóo, who the Socialists say will receive a final blow if, after failing to reach Moncloa after the last general elections, he now also loses what was his great feud of successive absolute majorities in the imminent Galician elections.
The PSOE say they are convinced that if Rueda loses the Xunta, Feijóo’s days at the head of the PP will be numbered.
And Sánchez forcefully criticized the Xunta’s management of the pellet environmental crisis. “No crisis can be resolved from arrogance, mismanagement and lies”, he warned.
The socialist leader assured that he has “good vibes” about the 18-F and called to combat the purpose he attributed to the PP that there is no large participation in these elections. He thus asked for a great mobilization of the progressive vote to overturn the polls, as he himself achieved in the general elections of July 23. “When there is low participation, the PP governs, and when there is massive participation, the left wins in Galicia”, he warned.
