The two major political parties and their leaders Take positions After the news of recent weeks, and with the possibility of the start of a period of various electoral battles, the ultimate goal of which will be general elections for which no one dares to set a date. Opposition leader Alberto Núñez Viejo activated the PP’s electoral style on Sunday, supporting the president of the council, Juanma Moreno, who has positioned him as a model to beat the PSOE. For his part, the Prime Minister resorts to foreign policy (he was in Brazil and is now visiting Colombia) in the face of a crucial week in his broken relationship with the separatists from the Junt movement, who are putting the legislative authority in an awkward position.
In Seville, Figo, who closed the Andalusian People’s Party congress that re-elected Moreno as undisputed leader, warned of the danger of complacency and confidence in the “Carambola”, recalling the frustration left behind by the July 2023 elections: “From experience, “The greatest comfort is winning and ruling.”He said.
Figo insisted on this idea, remembering that “there is only one way” for the PP to rule, and that is to vote for it, avoiding falling into “traps” or distractions: “There is no other way. Let us not get lost. There is not.” Although there are those who are “Determined to repeat the same mistakes” In the last elections, the People’s Party cannot give a vote “whether it wins or loses”.
The Galician politician has set the Andalusian president as a model for what he intends to achieve at the national level: “The President of the People’s Party has restored honesty and decency in Andalusia,” he noted and demonstrated his “commitment” so that it is the President of the People’s Party who is restored. “Honesty and Decency in Spain” Feijóo, who has strongly criticized the government for “corruption and lies,” said that when it collapses “it is capable of doing anything” and added that the Socialist Workers Party “has no legal, moral, or modesty limits,” and that its moral bar is “in the underground.”
Figo pointed out that last week we witnessed a government with the Attorney General on the bench; to the minister who “admitted he lied” about his links to a corrupt conspiracy; and to the National Court “to open an investigation into the illegal financing of the party”; also To Junts break up with them.
Sanchez, in Latin America with a focus on Junts
The estrangement between Güntz and the government is precisely the main challenge facing CEO Sánchez in the near term, beyond the corruption scandals. Catalan separatists, who announced their divorce from the Socialists this week, insisted on this this week There is no going back Someone must “open the eyes” of the Prime Minister so that he realizes the stability of this decision. On the other hand, the executive continues with its hand outstretched, realizing that the already difficult governing capacity of this legislature remains in an almost vegetative state in the absence of independents.
On the other hand, Pedro Sanchez is spending his final days in an environment in which he feels more comfortable: that of the leaders of the extreme left in Latin America. In Lula da Silva’s Brazil, he participated in the Climate Conference, or COP30, where he was able to unleash one of his favorite speeches, “Climate emergency”which he blamed for the deaths of “20,000 people” in Spain in five years, and where he presented his data on Spain’s economic growth, which according to him had been achieved at the same time as emissions were being reduced.
On Saturday, Sanchez visited Colombia, led by Gustavo Petro, where he participated in the summit of the European Union and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States. According to Moncloa, “This alliance between the two regions provides confidence, “It should serve as a guide for stability, progress and openness,” and once again in this country, climate change will have a dominant role.
But for Sanchez this friendly atmosphere filled with comfortable topics is little more than a prelude to an important week of trying to mend the broken relationship with Juntes, which is vital to the Legislature’s survival. Already this Friday they lifted the ban on processing Junts Law Against Multiple RecidivismIt is a rule that, on the other hand, is opposed by the far-left parties that support Sánchez, such as Somar, BNG, Bildu, Podemos or ERC.
Also last weekend, the State Department was quick to raise an issue The official status of Catalan in the European UnionThis is an issue that the Sanchez government has repeatedly faced, due to the reluctance of many members of the union.
From Latin America, Pedro Sanchez showed the importance of Juntes continuing to support them for their political survival, and promised to continue doing so. “Shirt sweats” Because “all the effort is worth it.” He said: “The government is the first to intervene and take compliance with commitments seriously.”
In any case, Sanchez does not tolerate the message of estrangement directed by Juntes and calls for “dialogue, understanding, commitment and willingness to reach agreements, not imposition, construction and participation,” and warns that even… “With new budgets or without new budgets” It will continue to advance and pursue its “road map” until legislative authority is exhausted.
