The electoral pre-campaign has taken this Saturday the Minister of the Presidency to Asturias, from where he has followed the national strategy marked by the PSOE to try to discredit the PP before the municipal and regional elections on May 28. "We have in front of an opposition that is grumbling all day because those right-wing gentlemen feel bad that Spain is doing well," said Felix Bolaños at an event of his party in the municipality of Cudillero. "Well, arm yourselves with patience because we will continue to do better in the remainder of 2023," he added.

In parallel, the de facto political vice president in La Moncloa has taken heart for "the very good economic and employment figures" of the country that are noticeable "in the real economy" because "the terraces are full, the restaurants are full, the cafeterias are full ...". In this Holy Week, he added, "the recovery is already a reality" to then resort to the reference of a country divided in two: "There is a Spain that looks to the future just as there is another Spain in black and white that looks to the past".

"Someone will remember that there were those on the right who said, when we raised the Minimum Interprofessional Wage, that we were going to create a lot of unemployment," Bolaños also pointed out. "Well, the prophets of disaster, you know... A disaster like prophets. They did not succeed in that either, "he added in reference to the 300,000 new jobs in the first quarter of the year, "the best of the last decade."

The Minister of the Presidency has also censured that the leader of the popular, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, put as an example of pension system the French model: "Exactly, what did you prefer? That we had to work more years to retire? That we would have a lower pension? Or the streets burned?" In contrast, he has put the "agreement with social peace" that the Government has reached with the unions "to guarantee that a public system is always possible and sustainable".
