"Does anyone know where Spain is going? Are they taking us somewhere? Does anyone see the current government really governing or are they just continuing to resist?"

The president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, asked himself these questions this Wednesday and answered himself that "Pedro Sánchez and his people lack a compass" and to "resist the government, the PSOE has weakened the State, exposing it to those who don't believe in it, and I don't think Spain deserves it".

That is why Feijóo would see "logical" that the general elections be brought forward, to reverse the "chaos" that, in his opinion, the Executive is experiencing "both within" the Council of Ministers "and in parliamentary alliances."

"The logical thing would be to think if we can continue like this in this situation," he said at an informative breakfast in

El Debate

, before settling that "the logical thing in Spain is part of the past."

Feijóo encourages the end of the legislature at a time when the polls predict that he has already reached the PSOE in voting intentions.

In fact, the demographic consensus suggests that the PP and Vox would already be close to achieving an absolute majority if the elections were held today.

The latest Sigma Dos survey for EL MUNDO raises the expectations of the PP to 25.5%, 1.6 points more than a month before, with Pablo Casado in front.

"We are in a situation of enormous uncertainty in Spain," he said, but "Mr. Sánchez will call the elections when it suits him best, I have no doubt," added Feijóo.

And that "depends on his allies", both those of the Government and the parliamentarians.

"And those allies not only fail" Sánchez, "but they want to investigate the government" and the state defense services, he has insisted.

The leader of the PP, who sees Sánchez more concerned with "reassuring his partners" than with national security, has stressed that "there is a new policy that raises new consensus", referring to himself.

"I perceive a hunger for stability in Spain; there is a growing desire for calm," he insisted.

Feijóo has been supported by the main leaders of the PP, by former ministers such as Fátima Báñez or María Dolores de Cospedal, by the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, and the mayor of the capital, José Luis Martínez-Almeida.

In this event, Feijóo has accused the PSOE and the head of the Executive, Pedro Sánchez, of weakening the State to "resist" in the Government and of appropriating the State to use it as a "currency for democratic change".

"There is no alibi for such a perversion of democratic decorum," he stressed.

And he has defended the position of the PP: vote no to an investigation commission that in his opinion only intends to "undress the State" and request the appearance of Sánchez "to see how it is possible to give a press conference to prove the weakness of the State" , in reference to the one offered by the Executive to denounce the espionage to the President of the Government and the Minister of Defense, Margarita Robles.
