The ranks are tight before the new electoral cycle, which has its first milestone in a historical fiefdom of the PP and of vital importance for its leader: Galicia. Alberto Núñez Feijóo wants the entire party mobilized and his territorial power in an attack position to achieve the victory that his dolphin, Alfonso Rueda, needs in the Galician elections on February 18. This Monday, the leader of the PP has urged his mayors throughout Spain to get involved in the party’s campaign once morest the amnesty for process, using their public speakers to criticize the grace measure and the rest of the agreements with the Catalan independentists. “You have the duty to react to every economic, social and political injustice,” Feijóo entrusted them during an event at the national headquarters of the PP, on Génova Street in Madrid. Later, in a public event with the leader of the employers’ association, Antonio Garamendi, the head of the opposition gave one more twist to his speech once morest the Government, seeking to raise the political temperature in the face of the Galician pre-campaign and the concentration that the PP has called for next Sunday in Madrid. “A country where citizens are not equal before the law does not matter what Constitution it has. It does not have a Constitution,” he has said.
The leader of the PP has been in a crescendo of criticism once morest the Executive of Pedro Sánchez coinciding with the start of the Galician pre-campaign. If last week he said that national sovereignty has stopped residing in the Congress of Deputies – where the left has control – and that the Lower House resembles the Parliament of Catalonia in times of the sovereignty challenge, this week it goes even more far away and maintains that Spain does not even have a Constitution. “If the real and effective equality of citizens and the separation of powers falters, that country will be left without a Constitution,” Feijóo stressed under the watchful eye of Garamendi, with whom he has expressed harmony.
The popular leader comes to say that the fundamental law is a dead letter, ignoring that last week his party and the PSOE have carried out the first constitutional reform of the Sánchez legislatures to replace the term “disabled” with “people with disabilities.” ” in the Magna Carta. For his part, the leader of the employers’ association has defended alongside him that the Spanish economy is “intervened” by government initiatives such as reducing the working day to 37.5 hours per week.
Feijóo is trying to heat up the atmosphere to seek electoral mobilization in Galicia, where polls point to a decline in the PP brand, although without putting the absolute majority at risk. The mayors of the popular PP will sign a manifesto this Saturday once morest the pacts with the secessionists. A day later, on Sunday, the PP returns to the streets with a rally in Madrid to reject the amnesty. Feijóo has launched a harangue to the popular mayors gathered in Genoa to get them involved in the party’s campaign once morest the grace measure and the agreements with the independentists. “The opposition will say that you talk regarding municipal issues, but that you don’t talk regarding the amnesty, the pardons, what is happening, the Junts pacts. How can we not talk regarding that? What they have to do [la oposición] It is going out into the street and seeing if people are talking regarding the amnesty, the pacts with Junts, the competition sessions. And what they have to do with it is that we defend equality among all Spaniards. They reside where they reside. We, as mayors of our municipalities, defend that equality,” the PP leader asked his councilors.
“Your obligation is to defend equality,” Feijóo stressed in the message to his mayors. “I know that you are going to remain silent regarding inequalities and you are not going to accept privileges. They have not voted for you so that you remain silent in the face of privileges”, he has exhorted them.
It is, therefore, regarding using the 3,361 popular councilors – who govern municipalities where 23.2 million citizens reside – as loudspeakers throughout the country for the party’s campaign once morest the agreements of the Government of Pedro Sánchez. The leader of the PP uses his territorial power to form the opposition and for the Galician election campaign, in which the Popular Party hopes to repeat victory, but with a drop in seats. “Don’t take anything for granted,” said Feijóo this Sunday in A Coruña to mobilize the party.
What affects the most is what happens closest. So you don’t miss anything, subscribe.
The PP also tries to ensure that the political tension does not decrease due to the grace measure with the aim of continuing to wear down the left-wing parties. After many months of public debate regarding the amnesty, it is not easy for the popular party to maintain that tension, so Feijóo involves his institutional officials to help him, while he toughens his speech as much as possible.
The popular ones return to the streets this coming Sunday once morest the Sánchez Government, with a rally in Madrid that Feijóo will heat up throughout the week with a harsh speech once morest the Executive. This Monday, the leader of the PP described the legislature that has just begun as “surprising” because “the founding milestone is a Government subjected to blackmail”, that of the grace measure. “The blackmailers will continue to double the bet,” ventured the popular leader, who accuses the PSOE of being immersed, together with its partners, in a “removal” process that has not detailed what it consists of.
