Feijóo and his 'barons' seek to lead the "outrage" over the amnesty on the streets and ensure that Vox does not take that flag from them

After the debt relief, 'Génova' asks its presidents not to fall into the "trap" of the PSOE and believes that there will be no division in its ranks

MADRID, 6 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The leader of the PP and his territorial 'barons' will seek to lead on the streets the "indignation" and the growing "anger" of many citizens against the amnesty and the "shameful" negotiations of the PSOE with the independentists to achieve the investiture of Pedro Sánchez, a flag that they do not want Vox to take from them.

"The PP is not only going to lead the legal response but also the social response on the street. And it is better that this response be led by the Popular Party," says privately an autonomous president of the party, who predicts that this "angry" citizen will to increase in the coming days and weeks.

Before the National Board of Directors of the PP, the highest body of the party between congresses, Feijóo has announced protests against the amnesty this Sunday, November 12 in the squares of the provincial capitals throughout Spain, alleging that "the greatest attack on the State of Right, to the equality of Spaniards and to the institutions." "We are today the constitutionalist refuge of Spain," he stated.

In addition, the president of the PP will join a week later, on November 18, at the rally in Cibeles that several civil society associations have called under the title 'Not in my name: neither amnesty nor self-determination. For freedom, unity and equality."

Sources from Feijóo's team have acknowledged that there is a "feeling in the street of frustration and indignation" at the amnesty and they are betting that it will be "channeled" by the Popular Party, thus increasing the pressure on the Government of Pedro Sánchez.

Furthermore, sources from the PP leadership have stressed that their rallies on November 12 will be "open" and, therefore, anyone who wishes can join, such as unions, associations and voters from other parties.

The 'popular' want to lead the fight on the street against Vox, which already gathered some 100,000 people two weeks ago in the rally promoted in Plaza de Colón by the DENAES foundation, which Santiago Abascal himself presided over at the time.

This Monday, Abascal called for "permanent" mobilization against the Executive's plans, including demonstrations in front of the PSOE headquarters. "All the mobilizations seem good to me, there is a need for growing and constant mobilization and I will attend as many as I can," he stated.

The regional presidents of the PP - the majority of whom have already announced that they will go to court - have agreed this Monday in justifying these mobilizations in the street in the face of growing citizen "anger" due to the "surrender" of the acting head of the Executive before the independentists.

Thus, the president of Aragon, Jorge Azcón, has indicated that "the Spaniards are fed up." "I think we must express people's indignation at the most important attack that is being made on the democracy of our country. The reality is that in the history of democracy in Spain we have never suffered an attack like the one we are suffering in today," he declared.

In the same way, the president of the Xunta de Galicia, Alfonso Rueda, has stated before journalists that "people are very angry" and are "expressing discontent and indignation" at what they are seeing and "what remains to be seen." ".

The president of the Basque PP, Javier de Andrés, has said that we are seeing "a social movement against the decisions that the PSOE is taking and they are being "spontaneous." "What the PSOE is doing has a very important social rejection and the people in the street are expressing it," he stated.

The president of the PP of Castilla-La Mancha, Paco Núñez, has expressed himself in similar terms, who has assured that there is an "important atmosphere of rejection" of the agreements that the PSOE is reaching. In his opinion, the PSOE and Sánchez "are giving in" to the pro-independence parties and "generating a climate of tension that is inappropriate" for a democracy like Spain's.

However, there is a divergence of opinions among the 'barons' of the PP regarding the protests at the gates of Ferraz, to which the former president of the Community of Madrid Esperanza Aguirre even actively attended this weekend.

Thus, the Galician Rueda has expressed his disagreement. "I don't support them, but I'm not going to be the one to say that they shouldn't happen either." In his understanding, "each person can express their indignation or discontent as they see fit, as long as they respect others and do so within freedom of expression."

The president of Castilla y León, Alfonso Fernández Mañueco, has expressed himself in similar terms, defending protests within "peaceful coexistence" and adding that he is in "respect for the fundamental rights of freedom of expression", "always within respect for the Constitution and the norms of daily life".

For his part, the president of Murcia, Fernando López Miras, recalled that "Sanchez's associates" organized escraches that the socialists "justified", but that he is not going to support a concentration "that is outside the law" for not be authorized by the Government delegation.

Sources from the national leadership of the PP have also distanced themselves from these spontaneous protests at the gates of Ferraz and have opted to concentrate in public squares, announcing it in advance as they will do next Sunday. "It is not our model, but the PSOE cannot be outraged by this type of practices," Feijóo's team recalled, alluding to the mobilizations against the PP in the middle of a day of reflection.

At the meeting of the PP Board of Directors, the PP leader asked his people not to fall into the PSOE "trap" with debt forgiveness for Catalonia, a strategy with which Sánchez only seeks his own "personal interest" to obtain the investiture.

PP sources have indicated that the territorial 'barons' have expressed a closing of ranks with Feijóo on this matter. In 'Génova' they believe that there will be no divisions in their ranks with this chapter regarding the distribution of funds. "This is not about what's mine. This is not about financing, but about a minority subduing a majority," one of the PP presidents explained privately before leaving his party headquarters.

During this meeting of the National Board of Directors, which had the amnesty and investiture negotiations as its central axis, the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, and the president of Aragón took the floor. The outgoing president of the Basque PP, Carlos Iturgaiz, and his successor, Javier de Andrés, have also participated.
