Albert Rivera has accused Pedro Sánchez today of having "closed the door definitively to a constitutionalist option", with his rejection of his offer to break up with Podemos and the nationalists.

Without expressly wanting to re-enunciate a veto of Citizens to Pedro Sánchez as the one approved by the Executive in February, the president of Cs has blamed the abandonment of constitutionalism on Sánchez. And he has taken for granted that it is the leader of the PSOE who has broken with Cs and the PP.

"Sánchez yesterday resigned from constitutionalism by choosing Geroa Bai and Bildu rather than Cs and the PP," he stressed at a press conference in Congress.

The liberal leader has returned to his speech on the April 28 election campaign. And he has promised that if the election night of November 10 the PP and Cs "add one more seat" than the block on the left, he will call Pablo Casado to "form a government in a month."

"To all Spaniards I say with humility that I will form a government in a month and that neither the ministries nor the names of the ministers will be a stumbling block," he said solemnly.

Of course, Rivera has again rejected the proposal of the PP to form joint electoral lists under the umbrella of Spain Suma . The president of Cs has acknowledged that the two center-right leaders talked about this possibility at their two-hour meeting last Monday. But he added that he told Casado in private the same thing he says in public: "Of course we will add, but we will add seats later, not before the elections."

The orange leader has even rejected an electoral coalition for the Senate because the projects of Cs and the PP for the Upper House are incompatible, as he explained.
