Sánchez’s “yawn” during his press conference when asked if he should do “something new” in the face of the Salazar affair and corruption

The President of the Government, Pedro Sanchezpresented himself this Monday at the Palace of Moncloa to take stock of the past semester and insisted on the fact that within the Executive They are “charged with determination, conviction and energy” continuing into the second half of the legislature and enduring “campaigns of personal harassment, lies and mud”.

Likewise, regarding the cases of corruption and sexual harassment that affect the PSOE, Sánchez stressed that “the government’s commitment to feminism is absolute” and that “the firmness against harassment bears the acronym of the PSOE”. “We have made mistakes, like everyone else, but we are not going to receive lessons from a right that always applies the same law: the law of the funnel,” he declared.

During question time, the president joked when asked by a reporter whether, given the Salazar affair and other corruption scandals, he thought the government should do anything more, such as the restructuring requested by Sumar.

“Anything new? We are always with “something new”. What do we do? Are we yawning when we talk about the single payment for transport, while the salaries of civil servants are increased by 11% until 2028? (Imitates a yawn) How boring…” he said ironically.

During his appearance, the President of the Government announced that the Council of Ministers would approve this Tuesday, in addition to an extension of transport aid, a royal decree aimed at creating “a single transport ticket throughout the territory“.

“When it comes into force, in the second half of January, all citizens will be able to obtain a pass with which they can travel throughout the country and take all medium-distance trains, Cercanías, state bus services… for a package of 60 euros per month for adults and 30 euros for young people under 26,” he explained.

Sánchez says this demonstrates the government’s commitment “to sustainable mobility and to the middle and working class.” “We hope that gradually all regional and local public transport networks“, underlined the president.
