Rajoy criticizes Sánchez's media presence: He wants to "recover in half an hour" not having given "a blow to the water"

Regarding agreeing with Vox, he says that everyone wants to govern alone, but if it is not possible, we will have to see the possibilities

MADRID, 5 Jul. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The former President of the Government, Mariano Rajoy, has considered that with the greater media presence in recent weeks, the current President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, intends to "recover in half an hour" for not having given "a blow to the water" during these years of government, which in his opinion conveys the feeling of a "bad student".

This was expressed this Wednesday during an interview on Cadena COPE, collected by Europa Press. He sees this campaign with "optimism" and as an opportunity to "bring some calm to Spanish politics", in reference to the candidacy of the PP leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo.

However, he believes that the current strategy of the socialist leader is that of a "bad student." "He does not give a stick to the water for a few years and intends in half an hour to recover everything that he did not do in his day", he has criticized him.

When asked about the absence of Feijóo in some electoral debates ahead of the next 23J elections, he said that he does not think that the debates are going to change the will of "the majority of the people" and that Feijóo "is right" having a debate to two, which is the "real" one.

"The four-way debate has a drawback, in a certain way it is distorting reality, because the PP, Vox, the PSOE and Sumar are going, but it is that the alternative to the PP is not the PSOE and Sumar, it is the PSOE, Sumar, the PNV and Esquerra Republicana", he pointed out, and therefore, he considers that going to a debate where all these political forces are not "does not make any sense".

And before the proposal of the former socialist leader Felipe González that the list with the most votes should govern "when there is no other option", he has expressed that he sees "unfeasible" that there could be an understanding between the main political forces despite the fact that in the past socialist leaders abstained to allow a second Rajoy government.

Therefore, he believes that it is "necessary" for consensus and calm to return and has indicated that at this moment "there are only two alternatives": a "Frankenstein government" with Sánchez and "all his friends" or a "Party government Popular that brings a little peace, tranquility and attention to the problems that really concern people," he determined.

He has also been asked about the PP pacts with the formation of Santiago Abascal, Vox. "Everyone wants to govern and wants to do it alone" but if that is not possible "we will have to find out what the possibilities are", but he has pointed out that the PP has "very marked red lines": It does not agree with terrorists, nor with independentistas, nor with people against the constitution.

"The PP has been decisive so that in Catalonia, in Barcelona specifically, the independentistas do not govern and we have given the PSOE the mayor's office," Rajoy pointed out. "Bad companies generate what there is right now in Spain and that is what must be changed," he added.
