Sánchez extends his criticism to the CEOE and the media

Citizens, "when they are called to the polls, vote, but they do not elect those who really decide."

And who decides then?

For Pedro Sánchez, there are "powers" that "influence and are within their legitimate right to influence, but cannot condition the country's politics."

He is referring to the big businessmen, whom he asked last night, like the CEOE, to "put their shoulders to the wheel" and "unlock the collective agreements."

In an interview granted to channel

of TVE, the President of the Government further delved into his criticism of the

and once again ensured that the PP "defends interests" that are those of the banks or the large energy groups.

As a sample button, he said that the popular opposition to the Iberian exception "represents a certain insolvency and an even desperate defense of the interests of large companies in our country."

Sánchez not only unloaded his heavy artillery on the main opposition party and the business elite, but also extended it to some media outlets, without citing them: «What I am very clear about is that I know that the political, economic and media right-wing wants That we progressives surrender, and we are not going to surrender.

On the situation of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ), Sánchez summarized that "it could be unlocked in five minutes", and I assure you that "it is known" that "it is being negotiated" between the members of the progressive sector and those of the conservative.

"I have no doubt that in a few days we will have the proposal of the CGPJ of those two magistrates," he said, after making "a call for responsibility so that as soon as possible we can have those candidates for the Constitutional Court."

This body is key because, for the president, what the PP wants is to “repeal advances in the legislative power” before the TC issues a ruling.

Feijóo said on Monday that, if he arrives at

, he will repeal the laws that the popular have appealed to the Constitutional:

or

"The PP is using another form of power," accused Sánchez, again.

Finally, he wanted to conjure against the polls.
