Madrid (EFE) politicians.
The spokespersons and parliamentary leaders of the PSOE (Patxi López), the PP (Cuca Gamarra), Vox (Iván Espinosa de los Monteros), Sumar (Aina Vidal), ERC (Gabriel Rufián), the PNV (Aitor Esteban) and from EH Bildu (Oskar Matute) face each other today at 10:00 p.m. in a new debate organized by RTVE to expose their programs, demands or red lines before 23J.
125 minutes in four thematic blocks
On a day in which the CIS takes the pulse of the intention to vote of the Spanish and the leadership of the political leaders, the spokespersons of the political groups will fight for 125 minutes around four thematic blocks: Economy; social policy; territorial policies and state and post-election pacts.
A meeting at Estudio 6 in Prado del Rey that will be moderated by the journalist Xabier Fortes, broadcast with subtitles and in sign language and that takes place three days after the face-to-face between the candidate and Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, and the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo.
On this occasion it will be the historic socialist, ex-lehendakari and now number 1 for Vizcaya in Congress, Patxi López, who will face the general secretary of the PP and spokesperson, Cuca Gamarra, after the euphoria that Feijóo’s intervention has unleashed among the popular in Atresmedia.
In addition, after some polls in different media reflect a loss of seats for the PSOE and a rise in the PP after that face-to-face, the Socialists could take advantage of the meeting to come back by dismantling “the lies” that they denounce the leader of the popular .
The PSOE will continue with its strategy of influencing the return to the past that the PP pacts with Vox entail, while the right-wing formations will warn of the support that the socialists and Sumar could seek with the Basque and Catalan independentistas.
ERC, for its part, has already demanded that the PSOE clarify whether it would facilitate an investiture for Feijóo and Rufián recently warned that his formation will only support an “increasingly hypothetical” investiture for Sánchez if he knows how to defend Catalonia, “its people already his freedom”.
In this sense, the ERC parliamentary leader will also ask the Sumar candidate and En Comú spokesperson, Aína Vidal, to take a position on a possible self-determination referendum in Catalonia.
Vox could direct its attacks towards a PP that denies agreeing with them, in addition to criticizing the parliamentary pacts of the Socialists with EH Bildu, which it considers to be the political arm of ETA.
The parliamentary spokespersons will have almost 18 minutes to debate, with opening and closing shifts for each block already established by lottery.
They will also have the so-called final golden minute to ask for the vote and justify it.
