Lugo, Jul 20 (EFE).- The President of the Government and socialist leader, Pedro Sánchez, faces the end of the campaign towards 23J with great optimism, since he assures that the PP “arrives exhausted” and they “in the comeback”, and has once again asked the popular vote dissatisfied with Vox, placing the PSOE in the “centrality”.
Sánchez has shown his most energetic version at the rally held this Thursday at the Gustavo Freire auditorium, in Lugo, the most massive of the PSOE in this campaign, with around 4,000 attendees, according to Ferraz sources, with only the closing act scheduled for this Friday in the Madrid town of Getafe to go.
“We are going to win the elections because the PP arrives absolutely exhausted and we are in the comeback,” said Sánchez, who confessed to being “very excited” and starred in one of the anecdotes of the campaign when he greeted Lolo, the dog of a woman in the audience, upon his arrival.
Sánchez assures that just three days before the elections there is a “mobilization of progressive Spain” that will lead the PSOE “on July 23 to victory.”
In his speech, he attacked the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, criticizing his “lack of respect for citizens and democracy” for absenting himself from the debate on Wednesday on RTVE, in which only the socialist candidate participated together with the leader of Vox, Santiago Abascal, and that of Sumar, Yolanda Díaz.
“Feijóo, without opening his mouth yesterday, miserably lost the debate,” added Sánchez, who has made a sports simile by pointing out that in a football match if a team does not show up, the score is 3-0 to the benefit of the one that is present, and in basketball 20-0.
On the other hand, he has commented that in Spain there is no longer “a center right”, but “a hard right and an extreme right”, and he has placed the PSOE “in the centrality”.
“Thanks to the socialist militancy (…) but in this contest we need a lot more people. That is why I ask for the vote of the whole world, even people who have voted for the PP and do not want it to govern with Abascal ”, he said.
His presence in Lugo has among its objectives to consolidate the two seats that the PSOE has in Congress for this constituency out of a total of four.
In addition, the act has served to focus on the socialist candidate for Congress for Lugo and former Government delegate in Galicia, José Ramón Gómez Besteiro, whose name sounds strongly to be the next party leader in this autonomous community and who has intervened in the rally.
The general secretary of the PSdeG-PSOE, Valentín González Formoso, and the mayoress of Lugo, Lara Méndez, all of them very critical of Feijóo and another prominent Galician politician of the PP, the former president of the Government Mariano Rajoy, have also participated.
Among the public were the Minister of Health, José Manuel Miñones; the mayor of Vigo, Abel Caballero; the mayoress of La Coruña, Inés Rey; and the former socialist minister and former deputy general secretary Pepe Blanco, among others.
