Feijóo condemns the altercations in Paiporta, but sees the citizens’ indignation as “understandable” and asks for “everyone to be on one side”

The leader of the PP has condemned for the first time in public the altercations that the residents of Paiporta carried out this Sunday against the president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, the president of the Generalitat Valenciana, Carlos Mazón, and the kings of Spain, Felipe and Letizia, at whom they threw insults, mud and even a stick that hit the socialist leader. “We reject expressions of violence, regardless of who they are against,” defended Alberto Núñez Feijóo at the national headquarters of the PP, where he read an institutional statement on the occasion of the DANA tragedy that has so far claimed two hundred lives and has left countless people missing. However, he has shown himself to be “understandable” with the indignation of those most affected and “true victims” and, unlike Sánchez who this Sunday associated the protests with far-right groups, Feijóo defends that citizens’ indignation “is neither marginal nor hidden.” For the popular it is time to leave “partisanship” to be “all in one.”

Feijóo has vindicated the attitude of the kings, who stayed to listen to the neighbors’ complaints despite the high tension despite the fact that Sánchez did leave the area “for safety”, as they later explained in Moncloa. “The kings have risen to the occasion. A Head of State without executive responsibility, who has known how to be where there is pain, making all his means available from day one, without anyone having to ask him, doing what his conscience dictated and with the sole intention of serving. to the Spaniards before himself,” said the popular man, who then addressed his political opponent. “It is up to all of us politicians to live up to it as well, and to do so “There is no excuse or justification for the adversary’s mistakes.”

With this, Feijóo has asked for a political ceasefire in favor of the people. For its part, has promised not to fall “into new criticism of the Government”, since last Thursday He reproached Sánchez for the “loneliness and limitations” of the regional presidents. “No one expects us to participate in any partisan story that singles out citizens for telling their truth. Enough of this story with the reality that we are suffering. Let’s not even enter into another partisan contest in which we once again divert the focus from what we truly mean.” It matters at this moment. It is not the PSOE, it is not the PP, it is not the rest of the political parties, it is not the Government of Spain or the Generalitat, it is not the president of the Government or the Generalitat and, of course, I am not me. It’s the Spanish people. They are our Valencian compatriots.”

In this sense, he reflected on the role of politicians six days after the beginning of the cold drop. “I am fully aware of the battered relationship of trust between the Spanish people and their politicians; I am aware that many people feel that until now politics has not been at the same level of the circumstances and at the level of the people. And all those who still We believe in what we do, we must be aware of it. When politics is most needed to be available to the people, “Time and resources are wasted in divisions, discussions, excuses, propaganda, bureaucracies and absurd expectations that citizens logically do not understand and reject.” For this reason, Feijóo has offered the votes of the PP to the Government for everything that serves to guarantee the best care for all victims of DANA.

For the opposition leader, the solution is to provide the resources and coordination instruments that are necessary so that the tragedy is faced in the best possible conditions and to immediately provide aid to cities, town councils and productive sectors. for the most necessary expenses. Likewise, he has insisted on declare a national emergency, as proposed last Thursday: ““If this isn’t a national emergency, what is?” has also suggested create a ‘Valencia Plan’, a national plan for the reconstruction and revitalization of the affected areas, prior design and completion with the Generalitat Valenciana as well as for other specifically affected places in other autonomous communities.
