  • Investidura. Pedro Sánchez's strategy makes water before the King, the PP and the associations

A "habitual audience of the Marivent Palace ". This is how the acting president, Pedro Sánchez, referred to the meeting he has held in Palma with King Felipe VI. After arriving an hour late, the socialist leader has assured that both the Monarch and he have agreed that "the Spaniards do not want to return to the polls" and for that reason there is an "urgent" need for Spain to form a "Progressive government headed by the PSOE".

Precisely on the form that that Executive should have, much of Pedro Sánchez's appearance has been brought before the media in the gardens of the Marivent Palace. The acting president has now closed the door to the coalition government that United We called for "reciprocal distrust" that exists between the two parties after his failed investiture. "Pablo Iglesias insisted so much that he did not trust the PSOE, that it is we who have ended up distrusting him," he said.

Sanchez has also insisted that Podemos must support his "progressive and common government proposal" and that both PP and Citizens should refrain to prevent the independence forces from having weight in the legislature. Given the refusal of the center-right parties, the acting president has accused them of attending to "partisan interests" and of being "leading the country to an electoral repetition on November 10".
