Feijóo does not doubt that the King will entrust the investiture to the winner "as he has always done" and accuses Sánchez of "blocking"

The leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has shown himself convinced this Wednesday that King Felipe VI will designate him as a candidate for the investiture having won the elections and having more committed support, as "he has always done so", while He has accused Pedro Sánchez of being determined to "block" his candidacy because he is "under pressure".

"I have no doubt that the King will act as he has always done, in accordance with the law, exercising his constitutional powers and at the service of Spain and the Spanish people," said the 'popular' president at the meeting of the Parliamentary Groups of the PP in Congress and the Senate.

In response to Sánchez, who hours before had demanded that Feijóo stop "pressuring" the head of state by offering an investiture that has no support and is only based on "magic cabals", the PP leader has assured that "it gives him the feeling" that "he has the pressure and the problems".

During his speech, the 'popular' president insisted that the PP won the general elections on July 23 and is the majority party in the Cortes (Congress and Senate), so it is "logical, reasonable and proportional" to begin the legislature as "winner" of the elections. "We have won 87 parliamentarians and the PSOE has 21 less, the results of the elections are clear," he stressed.

In this way, he has regretted that the "rivals" of the PP, without specifying but alluding to the PSOE, "do not want to recognize" the "popular" victory and has rejected that they seek to "attempt a victory when it has not been won", something that he thinks he is not "honest". "We have known how to win and others have not known how to lose", he has completed.

For this reason, he has warned of the possibility of "a real blockade" and of the "risk" of a government "weaker and more divided than in the last legislature." Thus, he has focused on criticizing the PSOE's partners and potential allies, assuring that some want to "weaken the country and break it up", something "incompatible" with governing.

In addition, Feijóo has blamed the PSOE and Sánchez personally for the fact that the governance of Congress and of Spain is "in the hands" of the "sovereignty and independence minority". "The situation tomorrow could be different if it weren't for Sánchez's determination to block the PP," he stressed, asking the Socialists to "assume their responsibility."

In contrast, he has offered a "useful, serene and serious policy" and a government "that governs, resists" and is capable of "reaching broad agreements" within the framework of a legislature that, as he has recognized, will take place in "uncertain conditions ".

Of course, he has admitted that, despite the victory, the PP cannot govern alone as it lacks the required majority, for which reason he has advocated negotiating with the "general interests above those of the parties", so that the Constitution continues to be the basic norm of territorial cohesion and the State of the autonomies remains armored".
