Valencia (EFE) Abstention on 23J would be, in his opinion, “a setback, like voting for the PP and Vox.”
The choice of Valencia as the place for the PSOE campaign midway rally is highly symbolic, as it is the first autonomous community in which the PP and Vox sealed an act to govern together after the regional and municipal elections on May 28.
A type of pact that the PSOE is denouncing on the way to the general elections on July 23, and against which Sánchez has charged again this Saturday, who has shown himself to be very energetic in his intervention, thus trying to turn the page on disappointment which meant for a large part of the PSOE the face-to-face on July 10 with the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo.
Recovering the spirit of his biography ‘Resistance Manual’, Sánchez recalled that he won primaries twice “against all odds” and that the party also managed to win a motion of no confidence and two elections in 2019 “against all odds”, for which augurs that on 23J they will win the elections again.
“I really want to continue governing because there is still a lot to do. It is worth it ”, he assured at the ceremony held at the Valencia Conference Center, which was attended by around 2,200 people, according to sources from Ferraz,
The public, very dedicated, has given Sánchez a standing ovation on several occasions, who has emphasized the need to mobilize the progressive vote and has called for the female vote.
“An abstention is a setback like voting for the PP and Vox. You have to go vote on July 23 and you have to vote for the PSOE. We only ask for that, one day to vote and four more years of progress in our country”, he said.
In addition, he has directly appealed to the vote of women in an act with feminist overtones, in which the general secretary of the PSPV-PSOE, Ximo Puig, and the Minister of Science and Innovation and candidate for Congress for Valencia, Diana Morant, have also intervened. .
“Let no woman stay at home, all to vote for the PSOE on July 23,” asked Sánchez, who has claimed Puig’s role as head of the Generalitat.
In his speech, he commented that in recent years “there has been much talk about Sánchez’s pacts”, but he has pointed out that the PSOE agrees “to expand rights” and the PP does so with Vox “to curtail freedoms”, and has criticized the profile of some representatives of the formation of Santiago Abascal who are in charge of institutions.
“As responsible are those who propose these people, as those who vote for these people to occupy these positions of responsibility,” he pointed out in reference to the PP.
For his part, Puig has warned about the PP-Vox pacts by warning that “what has happened here is what will happen in Spain” and has stressed that “the problem is no longer Vox, it is the PP”.
And Morant has remembered historical women of the PSOE such as Carmen Alborch and Carme Chacón, as well as his mother and his ‘iaia’ -grandmother, in Valencian-, “who died in this country without knowing how to read or write”.
