Pedro Sánchez stirs fear of the right to ask for the vote in the legislative

USPA NEWS - “We are going to win the elections,” Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez told members of the Socialist Party on Wednesday, to whom he announced that “we are not going to let the right wing rule.” Sánchez, who called legislative elections the day after local and regional elections that ended with an indisputable victory for the conservative Popular Party and the far-right party Vox, and the unmitigated defeat of the Socialist Party and the far-right coalition left Podemos, has adopted a warmongering and confrontational language between the two Spains, with which it stopped - at least momentarily - the rebellion of the historical leaders of his party, who blamed him for the socialist debacle at the polls.

For Sánchez, the conservative Popular Party and the far-right Vox party are the same thing. The still president of the Spanish Government arouses fear of the right to stop the loss of socialist votes, without recognizing that his participation in the electoral campaign of local and regional elections, and the support of the Catalan and Basque independentists, and of the heirs of the terrorist organization ETA, harmed the interests of the Socialist Party.

It is a fact that the discourse of the current Spanish Socialist Party does not convince its voters. The extremism of the ruling coalition – made up of the Socialist Party and the far-left coalition Podemos – scares Spaniards. The Government's rejection of the Transition, through which Spain went from the Franco dictatorship to democracy, and its obsession with unearthing the dictator Franco, and the founder of the Falange, José Antonio Primo de Rivera; the approval of a law that tries to recover the memory of the republican deaths in the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), condemning as a system all those who died in Franco's ranks; its constant intrusion into the private economy, its unfulfilled promises and the approval of laws that, with the supposed intention of protecting women, have freed or reduced the sentences of dozens of rapists and abusers, have distanced the Spanish from Government.

None of this worries the Prime Minister. Convinced that he is right, he prefers to stir up the confrontation between Spaniards. And with that purpose, he has distanced himself from his partner in the Government and from the independentists and successors of the terrorist organization ETA that have kept him in office. Pedro Sánchez wants "a resounding majority" that allows him to govern alone and finish his project for Spain. On Wednesday, before the members of his party, he was clear: “It is necessary to clarify whether the Spanish want to follow policies to expand social rights or want to reverse those rights. Or repeal them, as they say. It is necessary to know if the Spaniards want a social democratic force committed to Europe to be at the head of the Government or a tandem of the right and ultra-right that copy together the methods and proclamations that we have seen in Washington, in Budapest or in Brasilia,” he said . “It's necessary to clarify if you want your president next to Biden or Trump; if they want it with Lula or with Bolsonaro. It is urgent to clarify all this as soon as possible,” he added.
