Feijóo portrays the arrogance of Sanchista

Too experienced to fall into traps, after his long meeting in Moncloa the president of the PP intelligently avoided both the overacting attack and the resignation of his recently inaugurated role as leader of the opposition.

The call that Sánchez deigned to make to him - Casado did not even deserve such deference to him - gave off the

His plan was none other than to wrap

Feijóo in a tricky dilemma: obtain his unconditional support or expose himself to the accusation of being the same as Vox.

If the leader of the PP agreed to the Sanchista swallower, he would be discredited in the eyes of the right;

if the tone was raised against the tenant of Moncloa, the sanbenito of tension and blockade would fall on him.
