The President of the Government and leader of the PSOE Pedro Sánchez intends to reactivate in the Basque elections the vote of fear of PP and Vox that gave him victory in Euskadi in July 2023. And in his first electoral act in the Basque campaign he has charged against " the worst right in the history of Spain" and agitated the "reactionary coalition governments" of PP and Vox to revitalize the candidacy for 'lehendakari' of Eneko Andueza.

President Pedro Sánchez has linked the vote in Euskadi to his clear need to have a "strong PSOE" after the Galician elections, the electoral event in Catalonia and the European elections that will close a semester with four exams before the polls. To agitate the Basque electorate that mobilized in July 2023, Sánchez has charged against Feijóo, using José María Aznar, Santiago Abascal and Isabel Díaz Ayuso against the PP leader as alleged guardians of international, immigration and corruption policies of the president of the 'popular'.

"The right and the extreme right cannot be distinguished," Sánchez insisted before his supporters and organic officials, among whom was a broad representation of the Socialist Party of Navarra with Santos Cerdán and Ramón Alzórriz. Sánchez has attacked the "reactionary governments" for what he has called "laws of anti-memory and discord" that, in his opinion, "aim to equate democracy with dictatorship."

Sánchez has gone so far as to use the Spanish women's soccer team as an example of the policy practiced by the PSOE because it "plays clean, to the touch and beautifully" compared to those - in reference to the PP - who "only muddy the ground" of the game. A football wink that he has also used to confirm, before dozens of Athletic fans like Patxi López, that "at home" his wife Begoña López will support Valverde's team tonight that faces Mallorca in the Copa del Rey final .

After breaking down the social changes between 2018 and 2024 achieved by his government, Sánchez has called for the mobilization of left-wing voters in Euskadi to look to the future with optimism. "The acronyms that decide are those of the PSOE and Eneko will be the next 'lehendakari'," Sánchez proclaimed, reinforcing the campaign key of the Basque socialists.

The Basque PSOE has packed the first act of the electoral campaign with more than 700 followers with the presence of Pedro Sánchez. The general secretary of the PSE-EE and candidate for 'lehendakari' Eneko Andueza has emphasized throughout his speech the ability to "decide" that he will have from 21-A. "Vote for whoever decides," Andueza has repeated, stating throughout the long pre-campaign that started in November 2023 that he is focused on "the people's problems" in the face of the identity debate fueled by PNV and Bildu. "The PSE means stability," warned Andueza, who has expressly addressed the PNV voter dissatisfied with Urkullu's management and who does not want "sovereignty adventures."

"The future of Euskadi will only be decided by one party, the PSE-EE," Andueza insisted, raising the audience with a brilliant ending with a 'Gora Euskadi' with which he gave way to "the best president of democracy." from this country".
