Sánchez recovers the 'fear of Vox' as a strategy despite his failure in the Andalusian elections

• Politics The PSOE places Feijóo as a "hostage of Vox" after the controversy of the protocol against abortion in Castilla y León: "His silence discredits him"

• Encuentro Ayuso charges hard against Sánchez and criticizes Vox's proposal on abortion in Castilla y León: "It is clumsy"

The controversy on account of the protocol against abortion that Vox encourages in

but that the

Alfonso Fernández Mañueco denies is seen in the Government and in the PSOE as an opportunity to remove the chain again and try to tie the PP to Vox .

Launched into the pre-campaign, the contradictions and tensions between these formations are considered by the Executive as a new window of opportunity to continue with its strategy of dismantling the moderate image of Alberto Núñez Feijóo.

It happens that it is not the first time that the Socialists appeal to this mantra of encouraging fear of a coalition between PP and Vox to try to catch a voter fearful of that entente.

They did it in the campaign of the last Andalusian elections.

From La Moncloa, in fact, the

candidacy was coined , seeking to identify the popular candidate with that of Vox in the same pack.

At that time, the Socialists already warned that the alliance that they believed would take place wanted to push Andalusia back decades.

Now the speech, as a result of the controversy of the anti-abortion protocol in Castilla y León, is dusted off, with a speech under the same script.

"What we see in that coalition of fear leads us to setbacks," said Pilar Alegría, spokesperson for the PSOE, yesterday.

A term, "coalition of fear" that Pedro Sánchez raised last Saturday at his rally in Seville that was the official shot at the pre-campaign.

Shake the fear of Vox - "We are playing forward or backward" was said in Andalusia;

"We are not going to allow a slight setback", it is said now - it meant that in Andalusia the expectations of Vox, which took for granted a great growth and its entry into the regional executive with the vice presidency for Macarena Olona, ​​would deflate and the vote of right will concentrate on the PP.

That the fear that Santiago Abascal's party could govern led voters to take refuge in the popular and not in the PSOE.

Moreno Bonilla

achieved a comfortable and unexpected absolute majority, Vox disappointed and did not meet expectations, while the Socialists staged a very tough hit: 30

, their worst historical result.

What the Government and the PSOE want to show, the message that it intends to convey, is that the possibilities that the PP has to govern Spain go through a pact with Vox, which will require entering the Executive.

And they already warn of what "the wolf is coming" seeing the policies carried out in Castilla y León.

This is how the socialists see it: "It is the prologue of what could be in the future if PP and Vox governed."

They know in La Moncloa and in Ferraz that part of the possibilities to recover the lost ground with the PP that all the surveys indicate except the

-directed by

, a former member of the PSOE leadership- is to demolish the image of moderate and Feijóo manager.

And aware of the headache that the relationship with Vox supposes for him, in a hole in which to dig.

"Hostage of Vox"

«Everyone knows that the PP needs Vox to reach the Government.

It has its natural ally in Vox, this legislature has had it and it wants to continue having it in the next elections.

He knows that he is his natural partner and that he needs him to govern ”, they expose from Ferraz in that commitment to link Feijóo with Vox.

"Feijóo is a hostage to Vox and executor of its policies," the ministers and officials of the PSOE have proclaimed and will continue to say in the coming days.

What happened in Castilla y León shows for the socialists that "women's rights are a bargaining chip when it comes to governing."

In the socialist leadership they do not consider that stirring up fear of Vox again could mean going overboard as it seems to have happened in Andalusia: «They will have us in front of them when it comes to curtailing rights.

We are not ready."
