Pedro Sánchez claims at the start of the pre-campaign his social agenda and his achievements against "noise"

• Municipal The PSOE returns to Seville, the only major capital in which it governs, to launch the electoral year

• Pre-campaign Sánchez unleashes the electoral battle against Feijóo: "Some of us dignify pensions, others dedicate the money to the rescue of banks"

The "governments of the people" against "noise".

That is the recipe that the PSOE wants to apply in the electoral cycle that is now beginning, both in the municipal and regional elections in May and in the general ones that have to be held before the end of the year.

The Secretary General and President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, has started this Saturday in Seville the

of recent times with a slogan, that the controversies and battles of recent months, from the transfers to the Catalan independentistas with the reform of the Penal Code to the law of 'only yes is yes' passing through the Trans Law, do not tarnish or hide the achievements of the executive and, especially, the social agenda.

The elimination of the

, the reform of embezzlement, the threats of a new referendum in Catalonia or the clashes with his government partner, with Unidas Podemos, are, for the president, nothing more than "noise" to which there is no Pay attention, a backpack that the Socialists want to leave behind as soon as possible so that it is not a drag on the electoral path that begins in just a few months, with the continuity of Sánchez himself at stake at the end of the journey.

What matters, in the words of the socialist leader, is the

, the rise in the Minimum Interprofessional Wage (SMI), the brake on the rise in inflation, aid to families or transportation.

"The rest is noise and make the partridge dizzy," said the Prime Minister twice at the meeting held on the banks of the Guadalquivir river to officially present the candidate for mayor of this city, Antonio Muñoz.

Sánchez has contrasted his model of "advances" and the

which he has directly attributed, to the model of the right, raising the municipal ones in an absolutely national key and vindicating the "government of the people" that he embodies and putting manifested, over and over again, the "differences between governments of the left and those of the right".

When they arrived at La Moncloa four years ago, he recalled, they encountered a social crisis due to the "cuts in the Welfare State" and also a

due to the "lack of exemplarity of politicians who were paid in A and B" .

His government, he has stressed, has faced many

in allusion to the Covid pandemic, the war in Ukraine or the eruption of the La Palma volcano.

But, despite everything, he has stressed, "we have increased in employment, in rights" and territorial "coexistence" has improved.

against the PP

Faced with this, he has charged against the PP, accusing the main opposition party -which today surpasses him in the polls- of a lack of patriotism, of "skipping" the Constitution or of voting against social support measures, as well as "invoke the economic apocalypse" repeatedly.

Furthermore, he has visited common places to identify the PP with

and has had a special mention for the autonomous coalition government with the PP, which he has called a "coalition of fear", pointing out that it is the extreme right that is "marks the way" to the party of Alberto Núñez Feijóo in reference to what happened in Castilla y León with dissuasive measures against abortion.

"We have a lot at

on March 28 ," he emphasized.

Both "the politicians";

he has specifically said, as "the citizens".

Along these lines, he has called for untying the vote in the upcoming elections from the ballots chosen "a year or three ago" and has decided on this occasion by asking himself "what country we want, what city we want."

An appeal that in Andalusia is not trivial taking into account the

that the PP achieved in the last regional elections and the debacle suffered by the socialist acronyms.

For his part, the general secretary of the Andalusian PSOE, Juan Espadas, was faithful to himself and to the President of the Government and took the opportunity to once again proclaim his

to Pedro Sánchez, sending a clear message to his people, to all the socialist candidates for the next municipal elections given the temptation they may have to hide the acronyms.

Espadas recalled that "we are not independent" and that "we are

, we are the PSOE and he promised before the national leader of the PSOE that Andalusia will be "decisive", beyond the municipal ones, to win the next general elections.

The head of Andalusian socialism defended the achievements of the central government and encouraged that this "bag" be used as a trump card in the electoral campaign.

In the specific case of Seville, he has highlighted how, with the Sánchez executive, it has managed to become the headquarters of the Spanish Space Agency.

To those who, within the Andalusian PSOE itself, view

the next electoral event with

The

to start this long electoral campaign is by no means accidental.

The Andalusian capital is the fourth city in the country, but the most important in the hands of the PSOE and keeping it has become a matter of state for the socialists.

What happens in Seville on May 28 will be a thermometer of the party's situation and that explains why Ferraz has given special importance to the campaign led by Antonio Muñoz.

Because, in addition, Muñoz has barely been in office for a year after Juan Espadas took over from him in January 2022 and it is a personal commitment by him and Pedro Sánchez himself.

The low degree of knowledge of him is, precisely, the biggest complication at a time when the socialist brand is not trading upwards.
