"The electoral machinery of a party with 140 years of history, at the service of an independence formation." With these words the Popular Party has reacted to the news reported today by EL MUNDO about the mobilization plan for the progressive electorate that the PSOE has launched, which Ferraz recognizes favors the BNG more than its own candidate, José Ramón Gómez Besteiro.

"The PSOE has already delivered Bildu to Pamplona, ​​but now it is working so that the Galician independence movement governs in Galicia. And it does so with its own human and financial resources," denounce PP sources in a statement sent to the press. "I had never come this far," they emphasize.

This newspaper revealed this Wednesday that the socialists have already assumed their subsidiary role of the BNG in the final stretch of the campaign, and not only that, but they are perfectly aware that their strategy of micro-segmentation of messages to attract demobilized progressives, especially in the 19 to 24 age group, it favors Ana Pontón more than Besteiro.

Not in vain, the voting loyalty of the socialists is 42%, compared to 74.5% of the PP or 77% of the BNG, according to the CIS, which estimates that more than 29% of those who chose the socialist ballot in 2020 It will now be moved to BNG. Almost one in three.

Ferraz sources assure that "the feeling of change is capitalized by the BNG." "Work is being done for the BNG," they admit privately. "We are working to mobilize progressive people... and that favors Ana Pontón more. But if the progressives do not mobilize, the absolute majority is guaranteed for the PP," they add.


For the PP, this means that the PSOE "no longer aspires for the independence movement to bring it to power despite losing the elections, as happened at the national level with Pedro Sánchez", but that the president "now finds it better if his party is the one." "Support the independence movement."

Two of the main points of friction in the final battle of the PP against the BNG will be language and independence. "The PSOE plans to give its votes to the BNG, a party that aspires to eliminate Spanish from the classrooms in Galicia and propose a Galician-style 'procés'," the sources point out.

"Of the three historical communities defined by the Constitution, the only one that does not have an independence government is Galicia. Sánchez wants that to change," they warn in Genoa. "We will appeal to the moderate voters of the PSOE and those of other parties who understand that the only alternative to the PPdeG is a government like that of Catalonia," they say.

To top it off, the PP summarizes the last three days of the campaign like this: "This is no longer an electoral fight between blocs, it is Spain yes or Spain no."
