  • The Panel The PP consolidates its absolute majority in Galicia and the PSOE goes into a tailspin in the midst of the amnesty process

  • Politics The 376,000 Galicians who were not born in Galicia and can decide the Galician elections

The early spring that Galicia is experiencing in terms of weather has favored the campaign being launched on the streets. The massive mobilization of the electorate figures in everyone's agenda and the Sunday of sun and pleasant temperatures has allowed them to go where the voter is. The PP, to gastronomic festivals and the left in full, to the possible niche of votes of a demonstration against the health policy of the Xunta.

The leader of the PP,

Alfonso Rueda

, wanted to reach his voters through an event of which he is already an unconditional fan, the

Lalín Cocido Fair

, declared a Festival of International Tourist Interest and attended by thousands of people. He played at home, with the

popular

mayor of the municipality,

José Crespo

; the former president of the Government,

Mariano Rajoy

; and the mayor of Madrid,

José Luis Martínez-Almeida

, and has shown his chest at the massive central meeting on Saturday in the Pontevedra bullring, before 14,000 people.

At the same time that there was a new wave of crowds in Lalín, Rueda maintained that there are parties, like the PP, that organize "electoral events with a lot of atmosphere and momentum" while others "hold demonstrations." Clear allusion to the protest event called by the

SOS Public Health

platform that brought together thousands of people through the streets of Santiago de Compostela.

Ana Pontón

(BNG),

José Ramón Gómez Besteiro

(PSdeG),

Marta Lois

(Sumar) and

Isabel Faraldo

(Vamos) seconded her; and Rueda assured that he had "no doubt" that "the left-wing multiparty" uses it as a "clearly electoral and politicized" instrument.

The meeting had already been called before the elections and the spokesperson for the platform,

Manuel Martín

, rejected that this was a political call, but, immediately afterwards, he launched a clear direct proclamation against the Galician Government of the PP: "We call on the population that if there is no change in health policy, we will have to think about changing the authors of health policies.

Ana Pontón promised to "be the president who protects people's health and frees public health from cuts", Gómez Besteiro promised to "rescue this right from the UCI" and reminded Rueda that "in Galicia the problem is not demonstrating, is to get sick", while Marta Lois predicted that 18-F will be "the end of the policies of dismantling the rights and health of Galicians."

At home and before the masses, like Rueda, the president of the PP,

Alberto Núñez Feijóo

, played, who, on his third consecutive day of the Galician campaign, participated in a lunch rally in Mos (Pontevedra), a municipality with the party's mayor,

Nidia Arévalo

. He brought this act up to a thousand voters, before them, he confirmed his surprise at the insults that he has received these days from the PSOE and the BNG. The socialists find it ugly that the Minister of Finance,

María Jesús Montero

, has said that the Galicians have remained "calm by sending Feijóo to Spain", using "independence terminology".

It was also the third consecutive day for

Santiago Abascal

, who threw darts at PP and PSOE for the 2030 agenda that he maintains harms the primary sector, denouncing that only Vox rejects it, "the others impose it: in the Xunta, in Moncloa and together in Brussels".
