19-J The PSOE mobilizes its 'reserve army' to support Juan Espadas
Poll The PP widens the gap with the PSOE and approaches the absolute majority
"Fuck the polls!"
The
army in the reserve
mobilized this Sunday by the PSOE to support Juan Espadas, the socialist candidate for the Presidency of the Junta de Andalucía, has come up and has tried to scare away the bad omens that all the polls predict for the socialists in Andalusian elections next June 19.
The
army in the reserve
are the autonomous presidents of the PSOE, who this Sunday have attended an act at the Palacio de Congresos de Córdoba with Swords.
The ministers Margarita Robles and Isabel Rodríguez and the former vice-president of the Government and current national deputy, Carmen Calvo, have also attended.
Of the nine autonomous barons of the PSOE that govern in communities, seven have participated in the forum, moderated by the spokeswoman for the PSOE in the Senate, Eva Granados.
The first who has sent the demographic studies of 19-J to the "club" has been the president of the Principality of Asturias, Adrián Barbón.
"What do the polls say? To hell with the polls! Today's crowd and the heat of the people in the street" is the true thermometer of what the public thinks, Barbón has proclaimed, who has complained that "They want to intoxicate us to discourage us and make us give up."
But the Socialists do not intend to give up or, at least, that is the message they have transmitted this Sunday, in the heat of the heat wave and with the audience trying to lower the high temperature with the blow of a fan.
"You have to sweat your shirt to the end; this is a workers' party," the president of the Valencian Community, Ximo Puig, harangued, while a good part of the audience literally sweated down their foreheads.
For the Socialists, the only valid poll is that of June 19, warned the president of Extremadura, Guillermo Fernández Vara, who recalled how in his autonomous community the polls also predicted a victory for the PP and, in the end, "the PSOE".
For this reason, "don't pay attention to the polls", he has added.
The survey published this Sunday by EL MUNDO reveals that, a week after the call to the polls in
Andalusia,
Juanma Moreno's PP is consolidated as the most voted force, is beginning to approach the absolute majority and already has more than 11 percentage points to his most direct competitor, the socialist Juan Espadas, who has not just mobilized with enough energy the voters who gave their trust to the PSOE in the 2018 elections, when it was Susana Díaz who headed the lists.
The PSOE, in fact, does not seem to come back and remains stagnant at 25% of the support, having even lost four tenths with respect to last May's poll and three points over what Susana Díaz achieved in the 2018 elections. Socialists were the most voted political force, although the sum of the votes of the PP, Ciudadanos and Vox took away the options of governing after 37 years of hegemony.
In spite of everything, the president of the Government of the Balearic Islands, Francina Armengol, has lent the socialists because "every last minute counts" and there are still seven days left for the Andalusian elections.
"Let no one tell us that everything is already lost" because "if we vote, we win," she added.
The president of La Rioja, Concha Andreu, explained that, when she came to government in 2019, after the PP stage, she found public health "dismantled", but in three years they have managed to strengthen public services.
Meanwhile, the president of the Government of Aragon, the socialist Javier Lambán, has valued the legacy of the Andalusian socialists and their presidents in the Junta de Andalucía, "from Escuredo to Susana Díaz", without mentioning the two former presidents of the PSOE and of the Andalusian Government convicted for the case of corruption of the ERE, Manuel Chaves and José Antonio Griñán.
Of corruption, but of the PP, Ximo Puig has spoken, who has indicated that his government has dedicated itself to "cleaning of corruption, regenerating and sewing" the legacy left by the previous executives of the Popular Party.
The President of the Government of the Canary Islands, Ángel Víctor Torres, for his part, has attacked the "incompetence" of the Andalusian Government, chaired by Juanma Moreno, because it has left funds transferred by the central government unexecuted, while the Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands "spent all the bitches."
Swords, meanwhile, has been proud of the "champion" that the PSOE is doing in Andalusia, "leaving us the liver" to give the Andalusians reasons to vote for the socialists.
He has also thanked the "seven presidents of nine" who govern in autonomous communities who have attended the Cordoba forum.
The PSOE candidate has been convinced that they will "turn around" the polls and there will be a "socialist comeback", since they will "fill the ballot boxes" with progressive votes because people want "rights, not rights".
