All the provincial secretaries of the PSOE have signed a manifesto this Sunday in which they ask Pedro Sánchez to move forward, with the support of all the territories, to form a “progressive and coexistence” Government that gives continuity to the recent years “of progress ” in Spain.
“Today Spain has a majority to advance a project of progress and coexistence,” says the manifesto signed by the provincial and island general secretaries of the PSOE, first and first secretaries of the PSC federations and representatives of the uniprovincial federations of the game.
The manifesto was presented at a meeting held at the Julián Besteiro School, in Madrid, by the general secretary of the PSOE of Badajoz, Rafael Lemus; that of León, Javier Cendón, and that of Huelva, Maru Limón, and has already been signed by the former president of the Government José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero.
In the document, the provincial secretaries support and encourage Sánchez to work to achieve his investiture again as President of the Government.
“The confidence in him,” they say, “is the confidence we place in the formation of a progressive Executive that opens a new stage of social advances, in favor of a democracy based on gender equality, on coexistence that rests on the recognition of the diversity of Spain, its democratic memory and the spirit of coexistence”.
The signatories assure that they face this new stage “with full enthusiasm and determination” and ask Sánchez to lead it to form a Government of progress and coexistence, of “a modern, social, feminist, Europeanist Spain, a reference in rights and freedoms.” , they add.
“A Spain at peace,” they continue, and “in the face of a scorched earth political strategy, which relies on disqualifications and a personal attack on our general secretary, we are going to assert all the respect that the PSOE deserves,” they add. .
For the provincial secretaries, “the achievements of the progressive coalition government have been evident and transcendental for the advancement of our country.”
And they mention among them policies for job creation, gender equality, labor market reform, the expansion of citizens’ rights and freedoms and the approval of the Democratic Memory Law.
The manifesto emphasizes that on June 23, the expression of the polls was “clear with a NO to Feijóo, verified in Parliament.” And for this reason, the commitment of the PSOE, according to the socialists, is to form a Government “of progress” with Sumar to revalidate the agreements “that gave such good results” – they affirmed – in the last legislature.
For the socialists, PP and Vox asked for the vote to repeal a progressive Government with a strategy based “exclusively on insults and lies”, but as the socialists warn, that bet failed on July 23.
“If PP and Vox had had enough votes, today Spain would have a Government of the right and the extreme right. Exactly the same as has happened in all the communities and town councils where they have joined, although the Socialist Party was the most voted force in many of them. they assure.
They are aware, as they point out, that the “PP of today does not like the PSOE of today, just as the PP of before did not like the PSOE of before”, but they demand that “insults and lies as a way of doing things” be abandoned. policy”.
They also demand that the PP “return to the constitutional consensus” and put an end to the “blockade to which it has subjected the governing body of judges during the last five years.”
“We do not ask for the support of the PP to govern, our political projects are very different,” add the socialists, who insist on their demands that the popular ones abandon “the radical nature of their embrace with the extreme right and return to respect for basic consensus.” “.
Those attending the event held a minute of silence for the victims of the fire that broke out this morning in a nightclub in Murcia.
