The leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, wants the European elections of June 9 to be seen as a second round of the general elections of June 23 just a year ago. He stated this this Sunday morning at an event in Malaga, where he also pointed out Pedro Sánchez as the person responsible for dividing the Spanish people and wanting to censor the media. “The European elections are the opportunity to speak out on everything that we have been suffering for years, the opposite of what was committed, the opposite of what we voted for, the opposite of freedom, equality, dignity, the opposite of what Spain has to be. “, the Spain of 48 million citizens who have to be free and equal, equal and free,” said Feijóo.
The popular leader has chosen Malaga, where its mayor Francisco de la Torre has been governing for 24 years, as an example of the good municipal management of the PP, one year after the municipal elections where his party swept. “We could only come to commemorate the feat that the Spanish people gave us a year ago with their trust, but we are here to reaffirm the commitments we acquired with the Spanish people, not to apologize, like the PSOE, for having failed to fulfill them all,” Feijóo continued. , in clear reference to the amnesty law that Sánchez denied was going to be processed before the general elections on July 23 and that could be definitively approved in a plenary session in Congress on May 30.
Feijóo has insisted on presenting the president of the socialist Government as the person responsible for the polarization and division in Spain, an argument that the Andalusian president already used a few months ago in a meeting organized by Cadena SER and EL PAÍS. “Sánchez has the enormous ability to divide society,” said then the popular baron, Juan Manuel Moreno, who preceded his president on the platform. “We are here to serve the people, with less arrogance, less division, more collaboration and more humility,” said the popular leader. “A president who lives with the flag of Spain on the roof cannot divide the Spaniards, he cannot build walls, that is the opposite of governing a country,” Feijóo stressed.
Along the same lines, the president of the PP has accused Sánchez of “cornering all those who oppose the Government.” “Anyone who has a different opinion has been identified as an enemy seeking to control all the institutions of the State, they have wanted to limit the capacity of Justice, the press and the opposition so that we do not exercise our responsibility,” he maintained. “On 9-J Spain is going to give its response,” he continued.
And the popular leader has focused part of his speech on freedom of the press. Feijóo has given his particular interpretation of the reflection on the “mud machine” and the democratic regeneration that the President of the Government carried out after his five-day retreat to meditate on his possible resignation and has accused him of “seeking the censure of the media”. “Now it turns out that the President of the Government calls some media outlets digital tabloids,” the popular leader said about pseudomedia. “For those who want dependent institutions according to their convenience, we are here. The PP is interested in all the opinions of all the media, it respects all opinion articles, it accepts all the editorials that are written, we accept, listen and learn from all the journalists in Spain and we tell them: continue defending your rights, you have the party of the freedoms behind, whether you criticize us or not, censor us or not.” Feijóo’s PP does not grant interviews of its main leaders to numerous media outlets that it does not consider neutral and usually selects the same journalists from related media to ask questions at its press conferences, both at the party’s national headquarters and in the Congress.

Feijóo has once again claimed victory in votes from last 23-J. “We have had to hear that we have lost the elections, after having won them,” he complained. He has also claimed that currently “the Government resides in the city councils and the autonomies”, which largely directs its formation, because “now the Government” of Sánchez “is the most fragmented and dependent in Spain.”
The popular leader has not only called for participation on the next 9-J, something that Moreno has also done, who wants the PP to win these European elections for the first time in Andalusia, but he has also asked for massive attendance at the rally of the Next May 26 at the Puerta de Alcalá in Madrid against the amnesty law: “On Sunday the 26th we are going to mobilize again in an open event in which society vindicates its democratic rights, which are being taken away from us.”
