  • 19-J Sánchez premieres the PSOE's new strategy in Andalusia, selling economic and social achievements against a "noisy" PP

This weekend, once again, Pedro Sánchez has parked his tasks as President of the Government, right in the middle of the crisis with Algeria, to get fully involved in the electoral campaign of the Andalusian elections that will be held on June 19.

It is the fifth consecutive weekend that the general secretary of the PSOE comes to the rescue and tries to promote the socialist candidate for the Presidency of the Junta de Andalucía, Juan Espadas, in a rally since the elections were called.

He already did it in Torredelcampo (Jaén), Granada, Dos Hermanas (Seville) and in Cuevas de Almanzora (Almería).

This Saturday it was the turn of Cártama (Málaga).

The polls do not look good for the PSOE in Andalusia and paint a picture of stagnation, with results similar to those obtained by Susana Díaz in the 2018 elections, when the Socialists lost the Andalusian Government after almost four consecutive decades in power.

With suffocating heat and with the auditorium brandishing fans, Pedro Sánchez has announced that the next Council of Ministers will approve a law to prevent public health from being "privatized".

It is, as he has explained, to "shield" the "equity, cohesion and universality" of public health and thus protect it, as he has said, from the governments of the "right" of the autonomous communities.

Precisely in Andalusia, the previous Andalusian governments, the PSOE, established numerous million-dollar concerts with private clinics for the health care of patients.

The most voluminous was the concert with Pascual clinics in the province of Cádiz, which the new Andalusian government of the PP and Ciudadanos has maintained in this legislature.

However, Pedro Sánchez has boasted that only a left-wing government like his, which is in coalition with United We Can, "reinforces" the Welfare State and has opposed the "cuts" of the PP government in the "response to the financial crisis" with the injection of 8,000 million to the communities promoted by his Executive.

"Rajoy transferred funds with interest, we lost funds; that is the solidarity of this Government," he remarked.

The PSOE event in Cártama, in addition to Swords, was attended by the Ministers of Finance, María Jesús Montero, and the Minister of Science, Diana Morant.

The former mayor of Ciudadanos de Granada, Luis Salvador, who now militates in the socialist ranks, has also been seen.

a dozen buses

It was the largest rally organized by the Socialists in the Andalusian electoral campaign.

According to the organizers, some 3,500 people have attended.

Some 2,000 attended the event at the Dos Hermanas socialist fort on May 28.

However, to fill the square of the Malaga town, the PSOE has had to resort to transporting its supporters by bus.

Between eight and ten buses have accessed the enclosure, reports

With the motto "if we vote, we win", Pedro Sánchez has defended that "all the best" that has come to Andalusia in the 40 years of democracy has been "hand in hand with the PSOE", which governed the region for almost 37 years.

"There will be people who criticize that we did not do everything" while the Socialists ruled, "but the best and greatest advances in Andalusia have come from the PSOE. Others have not done anything either in the opposition or now from the Government" of the Board, Sánchez has proclaimed.

Young

Meanwhile, Juan Espadas has tried to win the trust of young people.

Some 300,000 new voters go to the polls for the first time in these elections, and their vote could be decisive.

The socialist candidate for the presidency of the Board has asked them not to get carried away by the "fashions", which in this electoral call are, according to the polls, with Vox, the populist right-wing party led by Santiago Abascal, to which the survey give a strong rise.

Juan Espadas offers young people that the first job opportunity is a "right", tax incentives in donations from parents to children so that they can access a home or start a business, professional training "connected" with the labor market, in addition to more resources for the Andalusian public universities, which, as he has denounced, are suffering from the "attacks" of the right.

The first job opportunity for young people promised by the PSOE implies that the last year of training is practical in a company.

"That will be the great revolution in Andalusia, to create 100,000 jobs for young people, providing the necessary resources," said Espadas.

"We have to pulverize the unbearable rate of youth unemployment, it is urgent to build a bridge between training and the labor market and for this we will make the first job opportunity for young people a right, with a great alliance between the public and private sectors and with the support of the university, identifying the jobs that are not being filled due to lack of qualified training, professional but public training and with equal opportunities", defended the socialist candidate for 19-J.
