Moncloa isolates Page to stop criticism of Sánchez

• Interview Emiliano García-Page: "If we continue with the same companies, the PSOE will suffer a punishment"

The unchecking of the president of Castilla-La Mancha on the strategy of the Government of Pedro Sánchez in mollar matters such as his pacts with nationalists and independentists and the campaign to discredit Alberto Núñez Feijóo has resonated with a roar inside La Moncloa.

His spokesperson, Isabel Rodríguez, who is also a countrywoman of

, tried to draw a firewall on Tuesday to these criticisms by circumscribing them to "own statements" of which the author "takes charge."

Likewise, it was reaffirmed in the same tactic of attempting to erode the main opposition party questioned by one of the most influential socialist barons in an interview in EL MUNDO.

, and I always prefer to think that it is the first, because it will have a remedy, because unfortunately the second has a bad solution,” added the also Minister of Territorial Policy, alluding to the leader of the PP.

In La Moncloa, in any case, they consider that

and show their amazement at the fact that he did not mention this matter in the two acts of the match in which he participated last week in Toledo and Zaragoza.

The Castilian-Manchego leader reaffirmed his objections to the roadmap marked by Sánchez's team on Monday and assured that he had already transferred them "to whom he had to tell."

No baron has come out to support this internal questioning of the political strategy of the central Executive by one of his own, although without going into the depths of the controversy.

Particularly critical have been the presidents of Extremadura,

, who censured the "permanent confrontation, and of Valencia,

, who criticized the lack of" coherence "of his partner.

The one who tried to intervene in the commotion generated was

, at the head of the Government of Aragon, to point out that Page's words must be "take away iron" and "not take them out of context or drive them crazy."

"In any case, the PSOE has never been a court of the Inquisition, that's why I'm a member of it, if I don't assure you that I wouldn't be in the PSOE," he added.

The Aragonese baron made it clear that he did not want to "contribute to further fueling the controversy" and therefore tried to settle the issue:

to face the next electoral challenges and at the head of all of us fighting Emiliano García Page will be for socialist victories, have no doubts».

Vara censors the "confrontation"

Visibly annoyed by the controversy generated, the president of Extremadura clarified for his part that he does not identify with the critical position of his counterpart in Castilla-La Mancha.

«

You cannot be loyal to Spain if you are not loyal to your project », he stressed.

Vara, who went from being one of the most critical leaders of Sánchez in his first stage as general secretary of the PSOE to not expressing any complaints since he became president of the Government, regretted that García-Page has now opened this internal debate: «I think that generating confusion, debate and internal division

and, furthermore, it is not good for the country».

For his part, Puig reminded the Castilian-Manchego president that

-after his discrepancies with the Government's strategy of criticizing the PP- because in the Federal Political Council that the PSOE held last Saturday there was a "generalized" agreement » regarding a political strategy.

“I am not here to comment on the statements of other presidents, but it is true that there is a fundamental value that is coherence,” added the Valencian leader in an interview on TVE, reports Europa Press.

Criticism of Patxi López

The spokesperson for the Socialist Group in Congress, Patxi López, also replied to Page that

, but to provide solutions to the problems of citizens and that, if the PSOE has agreed with Bildu on such as the rise in pensions or the creation of the Minimum Vital Income, has been because the PP has refused to support these measures.

In this way he responded to the warning issued by the Castilian-Manchego leader about the "bad companies" of the Sánchez Executive, referring to EH Bildu, ERC and, also, to his partner, United We Can.

"Some

, but a government is punished for not governing, not for assuming its responsibility and giving answers to the problems of citizens, which is what this government is doing," López emphasized without no one will ask him about Page.

Regarding the words of the Castilian-Manchego baron distancing himself from the PSOE's criticism of Feijóo for alleged insolvency, López responded in Congress, as the government spokeswoman hours later, that if the

president is not insolvent

'loose verse'

Page is considered a loose verse in the PSOE due to his continuous clashes with the Sánchez government, which is why his party colleagues are used to him putting discordant notes.

However, his statements in the interview with this newspaper have generated deep discomfort not only because of the content itself, but because they occur at a delicate moment in which the party is trying to

in the face of unfavorable polls .

-except that of the CIS- of the last few months.

The defense that the president of Castilla-La Mancha has made of Feijóo has served as political ammunition for other parties located on the left-wing bench.

The ERC spokesman in Congress,

, pointed out this Tuesday that Page "could be in the PP", while the leader of Más País,

, asked him to clarify if he prefers his party to reach a majority with the popular instead of the current 'progressive majority'.

Along the same lines, the founder of Podemos and former Vice President of the Government, Pablo Iglesias, considered that the PSOE "is wrong" in betting on figures such as the Castilian leader from La Mancha who, in his opinion,

and he warned that "when right-wing things are said and right-wing things are done, the right ends up winning."

The spokesman for the Socialists in the lower house did not miss the opportunity to reply: "We have not been wrong with Page, he would like to have the result that Emiliano has."
