• Negotiation Feijóo stands before Sánchez: "If he wants to turn the TC into an ally of ERC, there will be no agreement"

  • Justice ERC pressures Sánchez to have a Constitutional Court that "is not hostile"

"This

Spain

needs you to believe in it, but you no longer believe in Spain and the Spanish have stopped believing in you."

This is Alberto Núñez Feijóo's summary of Pedro Sánchez's situation.

Why does he say that the Prime Minister no longer believes in the Spanish?

Because he "entrusts his fate to those who do not feel like such", he explains in his team.

That is why it seems to the opposition leader that the most pressing "decision" is "to change the government."

Feijóo has used the

15 minutes

of his turn in the face to face against Pedro Sánchez to criticize the main axes of the policy that the Government is developing and to revile the economic optimism of the Government.

"It will be very difficult for ordinary people to understand the vindication of its economic policy, because we are the last country in the EU to recover the

GDP

from before the pandemic," explained the main opposition leader.

In addition, the popular

senator

has charged, as this newspaper advanced, against the PSOE's alliances with the ERC: "I will not agree with the independence movement so that Spanish children cannot learn Spanish in Spain," he said, referring to the fact that the PSC He agreed with the independentistas a law to circumvent the sentence that requires that

25%

of the classes be in Spanish in the Catalan classrooms.

"General State Mortgages"

Feijó, who has made Sánchez ugly that he has read "literally copies the paragraphs of his appearance in Congress", has based the rest of his intervention on the economy, with two axes: the increase in the debt and the "lie" of the

2023 Budgets

.

"The General Mortgages of the State for 2023", he has called them, before saying that they will be Sánchez's last annual accounts.

"They have been wrong in all the forecasts, I am not saying it, all the organizations say it", such as the

Airef

, the

Bank of Spain

, the

IMF

or

Fedea

, among others.

All of them predict much lower growth than the Government by 2023. "That the Government has always failed in its forecasts and the last ones have been dismantled in hours, will it be insolvency or bad faith?" Said the president of the PP, mimicking the a phrase that Sánchez insistently repeated to him in the previous face-to-face debate, in September.

Feijóo has fired at Sánchez a flurry of economic comparisons with other large EU countries, in which Spain always comes out losing.

Above all, in the case of

Portugal

, which has created incentives for investment and has lowered taxes.

"Copy the Portuguese prime minister and you will do better, even copy regional presidents of the PSOE", he has pointed out, delving into the internal wound of the socialists on account of taxes.

"But no, you govern in the country with the highest increase in debt in relative terms since the pandemic began," he insisted.

"You are the prime minister with the most debt in the EU", and that leaves Spain at a "competitive disadvantage".

"I believe in a Spain in which the Spaniards of today do not mortgage those of the future, and I believe in it because it does not have to be invented," Feijóo stressed.

"That Spain exists", according to the leader of the PP, and for this reason, when Sánchez says in the

Senate

that Spain "is doing well" means that his government "does not believe in this country", since it only cares "about the elections" .

"Not me," Feijóo assured, despite the fact that he had begun by pressing for a change of government.

Feijóo has claimed the "rent agreement" again, an objective of Sánchez that he sees as "disappeared".

"We know nothing," he said, before accusing Sánchez of "squeezing" the middle and lower classes with "the most invisible and unjust tax, inflation."
