Pedro Sánchez has vindicated himself this Saturday in

as the standard-bearer of "the democratization of energy" and has accused the PP of "defending the interests" of the large energy corporations.

The President of the Government has set himself up as the Robin Hood of this economic crisis and has said that "those who have the least have to receive the most from those who have the most, whether they are territories or people".

He explained that, in this context of energy crisis and inflation, the Government's "destiny" is to "turn Spain into a more energy-independent country than it was before, betting on renewables".

"Why is

-consumption important?" he asked himself.

"Because it not only makes us stronger against the threat of blackmail from Putin, but also democratizes energy and takes power away from the energy companies that want to maintain power and the status quo in our country."

In difficult and uncertain times - the number of undecided PSOE voters has skyrocketed and there are already more than half a million, according to the latest Sigma Two Panel -, the socialist leader has once again used the trump card of fear.

With simple, direct and unambiguous messages.

White or black.

Presenting a polarized Spain, where the Government has done everything right - "during Covid we saved lives, companies and jobs and reindustrialized the country" - and the main opposition party seems to have left everything "in a bad state" and is also allied with the big companies.

"Citizens live in fear. Luckily we are here. If the right wing were in Spain, seeing what they do in

or the things they propose...", the President of the Government affirmed.

And he has insisted, shaking the bitterest memories of the coronavirus: "When we entered the pandemic there were

beds in the ICU, while in

there were

. What would have happened to this country if we had not entered with

fewer toilets, which were those that the PP cut, but with

more toilets? What would have happened in Spain if others had proposed policies of indiscriminate tax reductions?

The "decentralization" of public institutions

Sánchez has raised his new taxes on large energy companies, large financial entities and large fortunes and has once again asked himself "why did the PP approve a moratorium on the review of energy contracts and a sun tax if not it was to stop the process of democratization of citizens in the face of energy", which allows "citizens to empower themselves in the face of energy companies".

"We already know very well what interests the PP defends and what interests it does not defend," he insisted, contrasting these interests with "the defense of the middle class and the workers of this country," which he attributes exclusively to his party.

After recalling the

of the PSOE's first victory, in 1982, Sánchez said that "what justifies socialist projects is unequal treatment of those who are unequal, and those who have the most have to contribute, whether they are territories or people, and those who have less have more to receive from those who have more".

It has been a nod not only to that "social majority" of citizens of which he always speaks, but also to depopulated Spain, to which he has presented the candy of the "decentralization of public institutions", with the deployment in Soria of the

because "building a country means having each and every one of the territories and, above all, with those who most need support".

pensions

In the heart of one of the oldest regions of Spain, Sánchez has also made another nod to the rise in pensions, accusing the PP of "not making it clear if it is going to revalue them if it reaches the Government."

"The problem in Spain is not pensions," he said, assuring that it is going to "guarantee the sustainability of the piggy bank" because "employment has been created in competitive sectors that lead to a higher salary."

The leader of the Socialists spoke in the center of Soria accompanied by the mayor,

, the Deputy Secretary General of the PSOE of Castilla y León and Government delegate,

, that he has predicted for the
