  • Sumar Coalition, a year of decline before its founding today: divisions, failures and the miracle of 23-J

  • PSOE Sánchez redoubles its strategy against Feijóo and Ayuso from Brussels: "They want to muddy politics because they are full of mud"

In the official farewell of Guillermo Fernández Vara as general secretary of the Extremaduran socialists for the last 12 years, the president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, has boasted in

Mérida

of his economic management and has blamed the PP for appealing to insults and disqualification as weapons in the opposition. Thus, he has pointed out that his administration "is breaking all employment records" while the right "is breaking all records of toxicity in the opposition" making for this, he has assured, "polarization and tension as its only strategy to be able to destroy the Government".

"We have demonstrated, not in words, but with actions, that reform is not about cutting back, but about dignifying, for example, the working conditions of millions of workers who today see how their contracts are more stable and more dignified," said Sánchez, who He has given as an example the increase in the

Minimum Interprofessional Wage

(SMI) or the revaluation of pensions with reference to the

CPI

.

Along these lines, the general secretary of the socialists has explained that "today, more than ever, what progressivism needs in Spain, in

Europe

and in the world, is unity. Unity in the face of a far-right international that all it wants is destroy all policies of progress for the benefit of the majority, which is what the Socialist Party represents."

During his speech, Sánchez united the PP and "the extreme right", accused him of "no longer distinguishing himself", and Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of the PP, of resorting to disqualifications: "Those echoes are far away" of what said the popular leader

"

that he did not come to insult," Sánchez said.
