Núñez Feijoo: "I am going to dedicate myself to uniting the Spaniards"

USPA NEWS - The president of the conservative Popular Party and candidate for Prime Minister in the legislative elections to be held in Spain on July 23, Alberto Núñez Feijoo, assured this Thursday that "I am going to dedicate myself to uniting the Spaniards in harmony." In an interview on the Telecinco television channel, the leader of the opposition in Spain promised that "we are going to restore calm to Spain to solve the problems of the citizens."

"We are going to repeal all the laws inspired by minorities and that attempt against majorities," said Núñez Feijoo, who believes that "Mr. Sánchez is at the extremes. He has mutated the Socialist Party into Sanchista and, as of yesterday, he has mutated again into a 'podemized' party, in reference to the policies inspired by the far-left coalition Podemos, a partner in the Socialist Party government. Repealing Sanchismo is to stop insulting," he pointed out. In his opinion, "we have the most expensive government in history; mine will not have more than 13 ministries." And regarding the date chosen by the President of the Government, the socialist Pedro Sánchez, for the holding of the legislative elections, Núñez Feijoo considers "unheard of that he choose a date that is of greater vacation exodus and of higher temperatures for the legislative elections.”

"I'm not going to upset the Spaniards, I'm not going to lie to them," said the opposition leader, who recalled that "since I've been president of the party, we've achieved a majority in Andalusia, Madrid and La Rioja." Especially in Madrid, the conservative Popular Party achieved an uncontested majority on Sunday. Regarding the Prime Minister, Núñez Feijoo believes that "Mr. Sánchez does not represent the PSOE, he represents himself."

Regarding the support for the government of the independentists and successors of the terrorist organization ETA, the leader of the conservative opposition considers that "Spain must have a president of the Government who does not depend on anything more than the polls." Regarding the Prime Minister's attitude, he said that “arrogance as a basic principle in politics is something that has to be punished at the polls. Egocentrism, thinking that the only thing that matters to you is you, not even your party and, of course, nothing about your country, has to be punished at the polls.” In his opinion, "a State party cannot govern with political forces that go against the State."

“This of believing yourself above others and criticizing judges and journalists… This of saying extreme right and extreme right… Here, the only one who is at the extremes is you,” he said, referring to the president of the Spanish Government. “You are the only one who has governed with all the extremism in this country. His is a Caesarian party. Anyone who disagrees with you is not in politics." And he considered that “Sánchez is a worse candidate than the Socialist mayors and presidents. He'll get worse results."

“I have tried to get along with Mr. Sánchez, I have proposed that he agree with us on certain issues so that he is not committed to the independence movement or Bildu [successor of the terrorist organization ETA]… and he has not even answered me,” he stated. “If what happened to him in the local and regional elections happens to me, I can assure you that my answer would be not to stand in the legislative elections,” he added. And he criticized that "after winning, Sánchez has not called me. I have spoken with Abascal [the leader of the far-right formation Vox] and with Arrimadas [leader of the centrist Ciudadanos party]"

His goal is to “rule alone. I hope that the change or what comes out of the polls is not interrupted," he said, adding that "we are working on an agenda for the first 100 days." Regarding his action plan, he pointed out that "I will never have the level of disregard they have had with the head of the opposition." And concluded: "What we have experienced in Spain is one scandal after another."
