Alberto Núñez Feijóo has shown logical enthusiasm at the revalidation of the absolute majority of the Popular Party in Galicia. But the Government has been quick to try to lower the joy of the political opponent: “Feijóo is going to continue in the opposition,” they have warned in Moncloa. “We are where we were, the Galician elections have an exclusively territorial reading and have no national impact,” they have assured, to reject that the electoral collapse of the PSOE, and the fiasco in the regional polls also in Sumar, could have a destabilizing or weakening effect in the coalition Executive of Pedro Sánchez.
“This is not a second round of anything,” the Government spokesperson, the socialist Pilar Alegría, warned in this sense at the end of the Council of Ministers meeting this Tuesday. “The reading of the results of these Galician elections has to be done in a strictly territorial key,” she assured. Along the same lines that the PSOE leadership conveyed last Monday, by disconnecting the electoral setback in Galicia from the political project or the parliamentary alliances of Pedro Sánchez. “There has not been a punishment for the amnesty,” they have corroborated in the Moncloa.
Pilar Alegría has thus tried to reduce the outpouring of the PP. “The President of the Government is Pedro Sánchez, and the leader of the opposition is Alberto Núñez Feijóo. This has not changed nor will it change,” stressed the Executive spokesperson.
And he has insisted that the objective of the Government’s action is to achieve “more employment, more rights and more coexistence”, a task that is not affected, as he has stressed, by the result of the Galician elections. “There is no oversight in that roadmap,” she stated.
“The electoral result must be contextualized in Galicia,” Moncloa sources have insisted. “There has not been a transfer of votes from the PSOE to the PP and, therefore, there is no national reading. It does not change the political map,” they have reiterated. “And Feijóo is going to continue in the opposition,” they have settled.
Joy, in any case, has conveyed his congratulations to the PP and its Gallego candidate, Alfonso Rueda, for the electoral result. And he has compromised the maximum “institutional loyalty” of the Central Executive with the government of the Xunta de Galicia, “for the benefit of all gallegos”.
