• Sánchez and Feijóo do not reach any agreement on the economy and only agree to resume the CGPJ negotiation

  • The Sigma Two Survey Panel: Spaniards believe that Feijóo will make more efforts than Sánchez to reach a state pact

The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, has urged this Saturday the new leader of the opposition, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, to stay away "from the extreme right" and lead the Popular Party in such a way that "it does not return to the old ways" of

corruption.

The head of the Executive has asked the president of the PP not to "give in to the blackmail" of Vox and not consider "gender violence" as "domestic violence", as proposed by the party led by Santiago Abascal.

This coming Monday, the new autonomous government of Castilla y León, the first in a coalition between the PP and Vox, commanded by Alfonso Fernández Mañueco, will start up.

Sánchez's words this Saturday, during an act with the Madrid socialists, come just a couple of days after he and Feijóo met for the first time in La Moncloa after the Galician was elected as the new national leader of the PP.

The meeting ended without practically any agreement, beyond summoning to reopen the negotiations again to renew the CGPJ.

"They always ask to lower taxes when they are in the opposition," the President of the Government has ironized, in relation to the fiscal proposal to deal with inflation that Feijóo brought to La Moncloa, which was rejected outright by Sánchez.

"Support the country"

Nor did the meeting come out of the

popular

commitment to support the shock plan designed by the Executive to deal with the impact of the war.

In La Moncloa they think that Feijóo oscillates between

no

and abstention from the Royal Decree, but Sánchez has once again demanded this Saturday that the PP join and vote favorably in Congress: "It is not supporting the Government, but supporting the country."

In this sense, Sánchez highlights the need to seek

"unity"

and consensus at the entire political level in order, as in the face of the pandemic, to fight against the consequences that the invasion of Ukraine is bringing to our country.

The moment, however, is complex and the mistrust of the parliamentary groups with the president has grown after the turn given on the Sahara and Morocco without even informing the coalition partners or the main opposition party.

Moreover, the agreement reached with Rabat, signed this Thursday during the president's visit to Mohamed VI, has only increased criticism even from his main political allies, who believe that Sánchez has succumbed to "blackmail" from Morocco in exchange for handover of the Sahara after almost half a century of political neutrality.
