Alberto Núñez Feijóo is already warming up for the event against the amnesty scheduled for next Sunday, September 24 and, just a week before, he held a preview with an event “For the Equality of Spaniards” in Santiago de Compostela in which He was firm in his commitment to defend “the freedom and equality” of all citizens “whatever it costs us, even if it costs us the Presidency of the Government of Spain.”
Feijóo warned that “we are not going to remain silent no matter how much they want” and will organize that event on 24-S because what is happening in Spain “goes beyond the parties and the acts that the parties propose” and “it goes a long way.” beyond the acronyms”, means defending that the Government “belongs to all Spaniards and not to a specific political elite”.
With this act, the leader of the PP returned to what has become his fetish place for big announcements, the multipurpose Fontes do Sar in which he announced his leap into national politics in 2022, and invited a massive attendance to Madrid within of a week and to “defend the equality of all, wherever they live, vote what they vote and propose what they propose.
“Less amnesty, less inequalities, less talk about earpieces, and more talk about equality, solidarity, work and the future, what is talked about in Galicia, which is what matters to people,” summarized the president of the PP and the Xunta de Galicia, Alfonso Rueda, his successor in both positions, and who gave him the floor thanking him for not wanting to become the Government “at any price.”
The event, presented by the PP representative in Congress Marta González on behalf of the 13 Galician deputies and 12 senators, was an exhibition of strength of the party in Galicia that aims to be a preview of what will be seen on 9/24. Alfonso Rueda himself stressed that “we have to show muscle” and this Sunday it was done, with people who had to stay outside the venue due to lack of space.
Marta González already warned: “We will not remain silent. We will be forceful and firm in rejecting this humiliation of our democracy. We will continue working for the equality of all people before the law and of the different territories that make up Spain.” And Feijóo delved into this same message that is at the very essence of the PP campaign “for equality” insisting that “Justice cannot make a distinction between citizens.”
Before a dedicated audience that did not stop applauding him, Feijóo brought up the recent expulsion of Nicolas Redondo. “They are bothered by the PP, and even by the PSOE itself,” he ironized, and maintained that the last person who was expelled from the PSOE for tarnishing the acronym, pouting, and because they feared he would do everything he has done,” was Pedro Sánchez. in 2016, because “now it is the Sanchista party that throws out those who were active in the Socialist Party.”
Thus, he regrets that the President of the Government and leader of the PSOE “expels his members and leaders for defending the Constitution”, insisting that “they are expelled from a Socialist Party that is no longer a Socialist Party because it has become an elitist party.” “They are expelled for defending dignity,” he criticized, adding that “coherence, common sense and the defense of institutions are already officially incompatible with defending the Socialist Party.”
Very critical of this expulsion and the concessions to the independence movement, the leader of the PP maintains that the PSOE “has lost the elections, has lost the streets and is about to lose its ideas” and contrasted this lack of principles with the position of the PP. , that “I don’t know if we will win the investiture or not, but the Spaniards are not going to lose their dignity, never.”
In his speech, he recalled that the Government granted the pardons, the elimination of sedition and the reduction of embezzlement that ERC demanded, carried out a campaign to wash the image of Bildu and Otegui and is now allowing a former president wanted by the Supreme Court “given who is going to be the next president of the Government.” And he defends that he did all these things “not because he came out of the polls like that, but” for Sánchez’s personal convenience.
Feijóo insisted on the need for that equality defended by the Constitution, which will turn 45 on December 6 and that “the privilege of a few is the detriment of many”, alluding to Pedro Sánchez’s concessions to the demands and interests from ERC or Junts. “A pro-independence politician is not worth more than a politician who is not and a citizen who votes for independence is not worth more than a citizen who votes for the union of all the peoples of Spain,” he defended. “It cannot be and it will not be.”
