  • Galician elections The PP sweeps Galicia and Sánchez leads the PSOE to disaster

Just a few hours after the Popular Party endorsed an absolute majority for the fifth consecutive time to govern Galicia alone, the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, has placed these elections as those that mark "the disappearance of the PSOE throughout Spain", by obtaining only 9 seats, despite "the feeling of pressure" that he acknowledged existed within the party before the votes.

"

There is life beyond Pedro Sánchez's wall

," stated the

popular

leader in her speech at the Nueva Economía Fórum breakfast briefing, where she stressed that "the will of the Galicians is not so easy to twist" although from Moncloa and Ferraz have used "all the tricks" to do it. "They have campaigned in these elections, not from the hope of governing Galicia but from the desire to oust Feijóo and, on the contrary, he is today the hope of Spain because yesterday Galicia voted for Spain," she remarked.

In fact, the regional president has placed the president of her party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, as the "most persecuted" political leader in Spain. "I thought it was me, but with Feijóo there is always a 'what if', always questioning every word," Ayuso explained, summarizing the Galician elections as if it were a sporting result: "Feijóo 40- Sánchez 9."

"Handing over the fourth community to the independence movement, with Sánchez in La Moncloa, would have led us to national destruction," continued the president of the Community of Madrid, adding that "the polls show that there is an alternative and hope" compared to the model. of the central government, which "has given itself over to pure communism" and "to create two sides." "Pedro Sánchez's party no longer has the capacity to criticize his absurd decision to surrender to the ultra-left. He only governs with a large majority wherever he is located on the outskirts. A normal politician would resign this morning," she elaborated.

In much of her speech, the regional president has charged precisely against Moncloa and Pedro Sánchez for creating "a meaningless Spain that is not endorsed at the polls." "The Minister of Transport wants to replace Justice to decide what is a crime and save us all time, the Government has decided to dismantle security against drug trafficking and we will find out why, for Sánchez and his partners to be the national police or civil guard "They are not risky professions because they only save lives, they do not give you votes," the

popular

leader stressed, focusing on the murder of two civil guards last week at the hands of drug traffickers in Barbate

.

"The United States department has warned that Spain is weaker every day in the fight against drug mafias due to political bribery, corruption and customs fraud," said Ayuso, who pointed directly to the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande Marlaska, whom he has defined as "the worst of democracy" with "a simply shameful record." Among his main failures he has cited "the sudden dismissal" of Colonel Diego Pérez de los Cobos, "the disastrous management" of the migration crises that have turned "Barajas into hell" or "dismantling" the unit against drug trafficking on the coasts of Cadiz.

"We have a Government that does not allow a minute of silence to be kept for the murdered civil guards, a government that distinguishes two types of terrorism, the bad one and the one that gives votes... I would like the same interest and the same haste to pursue the murders than Ferraz's piñata or the chants in a dormitory school," Ayuso insisted, adding that "with the left and the ultra-left in power" in Moncloa "one scandal covers up another." "They talk to us about social improvements, trying to deceive young people and only build a Spain that discourages them," he concluded.
