• Campaña.Arrimadas, surrounded by founders of Cs, calls for participation to halt the fall and avoid "another tripartite"

At the halfway point of the campaign with the candidacy of Salvador Illa fighting, according to the polls, with the independence movement to win the elections, the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, has returned this Saturday to

Catalonia

to launch a hostile bid to the electoral space of the

commons

/ Podemos, calling to concentrate all the votes of "left and progressive" in the candidacy of the PSC.

A message that coincides with the first presence in the Catalan campaign of the vice president, Pablo Iglesias, who has disappeared until today from the 14-F debate.

"Salvador returns to recover talent, promote more and better jobs," said Sánchez, in this attempt to reinforce the idea of ​​change.

Because, having fulfilled the first objective of the

Illa operation

, which was to polarize the electoral debate between the

PSC

and the independence movement, leaving PP, Cs and the commons in no-man's land, the socialists now need to continue growing, if they do not want to obtain a victory The 14-F was useless, as happened to Inés Arrimadas in the elections of 21-D of 2017. And for this they must attract many more voters from the space that is to the left of the

PSC

, but also, as Illa stressed in the act celebrated in

Salou (Tarragona

), on your right.

If Sánchez has launched a hostile bid against the Podemita electorate - "the left is back, we need the maximum mobilization of the progressive electorate-, the PSC candidate has preferred to address, instead, the Cs voter, appealing to the" useful vote for change " In this sense, he said he was aware that many of those who voted for

Arrimadas

in 2017 now doubt, and that if they end up supporting him on 14-F this will be "a borrowed vote", so he has guaranteed them that "no it will disappoint your confidence "and you will know how to" manage it well. "

"I formally ask for the vote of all of you who thought that change would come in 2017. This time, if it will serve to change things, I am not leaving like others, I return to Catalonia to stay and if I win, present my investiture", he said, underlining what many Catalan constitutionalists still reproach and do not forgive Arrimadas: that he used the victory of 21-D to make a leap to Congress.

With his jacket before the weekend rallies, the secretary general of the PSOE, Sánchez has blamed the independence movement for having to vote on 14-F in the middle of the pandemic, "it was they who set this date by not choosing a substitute president of Quim Torra ", and has celebrated that the postal vote has increased by 300% as a symptom of" the desire for change "that Catalan society has and of" rediscovering those affections between Catalonia and the rest of Spain " for the years of the independence process.

Salvador Illa, for his part, has also defended the need for a new financing model for Catalonia that allows increasing public investment in a health system that since the return of Convergència to the Generalitat in 2010, by the hand of Artur Mas, it has suffered important cuts.

Thus vindicating his recent past as Minister of Health, he has defended the importance of "taking care of more and better" health personnel.

The first secretary of the

PSC

and new Minister of Territorial Policy, Miquel Iceta,

also intervened

to insist that the 14-F is the "great opportunity to turn the page in Catalonia of 10 lost years, of incompetence, division
