Madrid (EFE) Yolanda Diaz.
This was stated by the leader of the PSOE in an interview on the program Lo de Évole on Sexta TV, in which he considered that “there is no political party with a guaranteed absolute majority” and that in the case of the right, the president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, “clearly he will have to agree with Abascal and in my case, well, I will have to agree with Yolanda.”
He also said that the leader of Sumar, “in a multiparty fragmentation, fortunately has managed to unite all that space and with a party that articulates all those leftist movements that exist to the left of the Socialist Party.”
During the interview, he defended his “rectifications or changes of position” regarding several of his actions, such as the pardon of leaders of the process in Catalonia and argued that “lying means saying something knowing that it is not true with the purpose of deceiving.
Rectifying or changing position is different, and I have done it for a greater cause”, such as, he added, coexistence in Catalonia, where we are better off.
He has also mentioned that he does not govern with Bildu, but that he has come to agree on laws with that political formation as, he added, with any other because the fundamental thing, he said, “is not with whom but for what.”
The President of the Government has also criticized “the manipulations, lies and malice” of the right, such as the phrase “Txapote vote for you” or his use of the falcon, among others.
He acknowledged “having made a mistake in this technical case in the law of yes, which caused a series of undesired effects and is to see reductions in sentences for sexual offenders. For me this is the biggest mistake”
On the autonomy of the Sahara and the position of the Government, he said that “the reality is that during the 50 years that this conflict has lasted there has been no progress and that, therefore, if the international community, the United States, the main European countries are saying that We have to find other ways to resolve this conflict within the United Nations, within the resolutions of the United Nations Security Council with the premise that it must be a solution agreed upon by the parties affected by the conflict. I believe that Spain has to be in that constructive attitude”.
Asked about how he values Núñez Feijóo, he said that “I thought he was in front of someone moderate, someone who wanted to reach agreements and who in the end has once again taken refuge in the usual, in what Ayuso said and in what he said Married, in the Sanchismo”.
“I think it is not a political project. That is simply manipulating, lying and lying, because in this case you are doing evil against your political adversary, against me, not to talk about what you propose, nor to refute the things that this government does.
All in all, Sánchez considered that Feijóo is “a great rival” and added “a good leader, I hope from the opposition.”
He was convinced that 70% participation will be exceeded in the general elections, he defended the integrity of the electoral system “against the evils” that cast doubt on it and considered that there will be greater participation in popular neighborhoods than 28M.
Asked why he believes that in those popular neighborhoods a lot of votes go to Vox, he said that because they have fueled discord and that the PSOE has “to transfer those who are tempted to vote for the extreme right – who are ultimately people who suffer job insecurity , salary devaluation, the day-to-day problems that a worker or worker may have-, that the solution is to advance those rights, not to cut back”.
Pedro Sánchez said that “many of the equality policies would catch on” if in autonomous communities in which Vox has a special role, aid for victims of sexist violence were withdrawn, that as president of the Government they could only denounce it and that “obviously we would have a problem ; because there would be administrations that could not implement all these policies in favor of equality”.
Asked about his lack of interviews in more conservative media and yes to other similar ones, he replied that he has not stopped working, although he considered that he misassessed the “corrosive force of many of these arguments that have been propagated in these media.”
“Indeed,” Sánchez added, “I have not been able to evaluate or measure the consequences of this Sanchismo or anti-Sanchismo bubble that has been created by a series of interests” and now, he said, he hopes to have the opportunity in these media.
