Sanchez Requena focused on the position of the city’s mayor, Manuel Serrano (Popular Party), whom he accuses of corruption. “Whitewashing those who engage in hate speech”. The representative wondered about one of the popular advisors’ support for an initiative that, in his opinion, fuels polarization and erodes coexistence: “The Popular Party must make him look at it.” The mayor of Albacete, in particular, must think about why he exonerates those in institutions for their destruction and why he becomes an accomplice of those who attack our coexistence.”
The Socialist parliamentarian also expressed his regret that the People’s Party, in his opinion, is using “the money of the citizens of Albacete to maintain its seat at the expense of discrediting democratic institutions.” He directed his criticism to the regional president of the Popular Party, Paco NunezWho accuses him of following a far-right strategy: “If Mr. Nunez thinks this will not affect them, it is because he is more clumsy than he thought. “You only have to look at Europe to see what is happening with conservative parties that have decided to whitewash far-right rhetoric.”
Sánchez Requena said that this drift, in his opinion, reduces the credibility and future of the Popular Party: “Mr. Núñez does not need much help to lose credibility, but by whitewashing these discourses, he has a future that is less than we can imagine.”
