  • Politics Feijóo deploys the PP to the EU in the week of the amnesty and will ask Reynders, Von der Leyen and Metsola for help

  • Event in Madrid Feijóo promises before more than 45,000 people the "democratic rescue of Spain" against "a disastrous Government"


That the president of the Popular Party does not believe in Pedro Sánchez's commitment to "temperance" is evident. Today he made this clear before the Steering Committee of his party when he announced that tomorrow, in Congress, he will call on the president to show his "respect" to all citizens who do not agree with his policy and whom he described as "fachas" at an event this Sunday. "No president of the country has ever done this before to disqualify millions of Spaniards in such a rude way," he stated after assuring that this is nothing more than further proof of the "wall" that he intends to build by dividing citizens: on the one hand, who support him and on the other those who disagree with his policies to stay in power.

Feijóo has stressed to the PP Steering Committee that the PSOE "is banking its future on collective amnesia" and has warned: "The Spaniards will not give up and they will not give amnesty to the PSOE." With these words, the popular leader has mentioned the mobilization carried out in Madrid yesterday against the Government's policy "conditioned by the independence movement."

"Sánchez," he said, "is the president of inequality and confrontation. His Government is weak, lies and lacks ethical principles." In his opinion, the only measures that the Executive can carry out are those that the independentists want or those for which it gives their consent, and to this is added the continuous internal differences of the Government with ministers expressing them on the networks.

"It is difficult to record all of Sánchez's lies because he has given them an unbridled pace," he added, recalling the refusal, expressed only a few months ago, to an amnesty that will be voted on tomorrow; the rebellion that he previously saw in the challenge of the process and where now he no longer sees political violence. "The lack of ethical limits is very great and it shows them openly," the popular leader stressed before the leadership of his party. And in this sense he has cited "the possibility that the Minister of the Interior has leaked data on the victims" to the heirs of ETA; "the Government's espionage of the independence movement at the same time that it negotiated the investiture with them" and that "he is more critical of the judges who investigate him than of those who justify him."

In Feijóo's opinion, "the PSOE is the most docile and accommodating party with whom it justifies street terrorism and the independence movement knows it." "We Spaniards," he added, referring to the upcoming elections in Galicia, "have the right to express our opposition and the Galicians are the first to have the opportunity to do so and prevent the Government of division and imposition from being replicated." of minorities".

"Anything goes for Sánchez," he warned, "for him to humiliate his party, for the Bloc to win, for Sumar to support him, anything before the PP governs." Feijóo has praised his successor, Alfonso Rueda, whom he has described as "the right man at the right time" to govern Galicia and has assured that both he and the general secretary, Cuca Gamarra, will support him "in whatever he wants, whenever want and how you want."

"It would be good for Spain to follow the example of Galicia and not the other way around. It is much more necessary for national politics to resemble Galician politics than for Galician politics to resemble national politics. In the face of a weak Government, which lies, and does not respect the minimum ethical principles, the PP shows that it has an alternative and it demonstrates it wherever it governs by complying with the law, approving solid budgets, lowering taxes and making modern reforms," ​​he concluded.

Before him, the president of the Xunta, Alfonso Rueda, a candidate to retake the position in the next Galician elections, has also addressed the PP Steering Committee to emphasize that the challenge he faces "is not small." "Nothing is worth anything other than an absolute majority," he has warned in an attempt to unite forces and ward off the danger of confident abstention.

Rueda has predicted a "dirty campaign" and has warned that losing the absolute majority would mean "falling into the hands of minorities like Bildu and ERC." Despite the obvious risk he runs in these elections, the popular leader has assumed that the Galicians "will bring great joy to Spain on February 18" and has predicted that "the triumph of Galicia will be the prelude to a great result in the elections." next elections, those of the Basque Country".
