At this point, he has said that with his mandate at the head of the Extremaduran PSOE a time begins for the youths of this region feel that they are going to be the generation “that takes revenge on the Extremadura of their grandfathers and grandmothers.”
“We are going to give priority to young people, listen to their ideas and allow them to launch their life project in Extremadura,” he added.
For all these reasons, he has said that the PSOE is going to work tirelessly to “really” listen to the people of Extremadura and not just Speak Extremadura, and then gag them, he warned.
