Madrid (EFE) popular leader has proposed a pact to allow whoever gets the most votes to govern.
An offer now in writing that he had already launched verbally on some occasion and has left him on the table at the Atresmedia studios where the two have faced each other for almost two hours dotted with interruptions, accusations and complaints that have given a frantic pace to a harsh exchange of blows in which they have not agreed on anything at all.
Sánchez has not picked up the gauntlet that his opponent has thrown at him, who has promised to let the current president govern if he wins the elections, abstaining from the investiture in exchange, yes, for the socialist leader to do the same if he is the one who wins the next 23J.
Like any response, the socialist has recalled the still president of Extremadura, Guillermo Fernández Vara, a community in which the PP will manage to inaugurate María Guardiola as president thanks to Vox.
pacts
Vox have been very present, at the request of Pedro Sánchez, who has not hesitated to reproach Feijóo for “knowingly” agreeing with a “macho” party and Bildu, which the PP leader has repeatedly brought up to make it clear that he would never agree with those who have been convicted of terrorism as the PSOE does.
He has even evoked the figure of the Ermua PP councilor Miguel Ángel Blanco, kidnapped 26 years ago today and assassinated by ETA three days later to reject “lessons” of the socialist pacts.
Not only in this area have they shown their enormous distances, patents since the first block dedicated to the economy, where not even the veracity of the data have coincided. The word “lie” has been frequently pronounced by one and the other, to deny each other and make it clear that the opponent was wrong.
Employment
Pedro Sánchez has tried to assert the good data of employment growth “like never before”, but his opponent has remarked time and again that he is the one who has achieved the least employment, has blamed inflation, the rise in mortgages and the difficulties of Spain to recover its GDP.
To defend himself, the PSOE leader has reproached him for not providing subsidized housing when he presided over the Xunta de Galicia.
Another front open with insistence by Feijóo has been that of Spanish policy with Morocco, when asking Sánchez what he has agreed with this country by changing his position regarding the Sahara; there he has taken the opportunity to promise that he will inform the opposition and Congress of his international strategy if he arrives at La Moncloa.
The use of the Falcon for personal or party trips, recurring at Feijóo rallies, has also come to the fore.
The head of the Executive has replied, recalling that it was the Government of José María Aznar that bought three of these aircraft for 76 million euros and has stressed that he uses them to travel to Kiev and show solidarity with Ukraine and Aznar to declare from the Azores a “illegal” war like the one in Iraq.
Modification of the electoral law
Feijóo has also asked Sánchez to modify the electoral law so that those convicted of terrorism, sedition or being a fugitive cannot stand in the elections, thinking of Bildu and Carles Puigdemont, without obtaining a response from the president either.
Only in the last stage of the face to face have they interrupted somewhat less, because the general tone of the appointment has been to take the floor, speak at the same time or not let the opponent’s arguments finish, until reaching the so-called “minute of gold”.
Sánchez has used it to alert that the 23J Spain chooses between continuing to “advance” or enters hand in hand with Abascal and Feijóo “in a dark time tunnel”, while Feijóo has asked for a massive vote for a “strong majority” that don’t say “count on extremes”.
