Sánchez accuses Feijóo of encouraging transfuguismo and believes that the PP "boycotts itself"

To the popular people who demonstrate in Madrid: "I'm sorry. There is going to be a socialist government!"

The acting President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, has accused the leader of the Popular Party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, of encouraging transfuguismo before his investiture plenary session and has assured that the PP "boycotts itself" with its demonstration this Sunday in Madrid against the amnesty.

"Today they are demonstrating against a socialist government. Well, I'm sorry. There is going to be a socialist government!" he said in his speech at the Festa de la Rosa in Gavà (Barcelona), in which the first secretary of the PSC, Salvador Illa, and the mayor Gemma Badia.

Sánchez has maintained that the Popular Party is going to an investiture "that even they do not believe in," and added that neither the PP nor Feijóo have wanted to accept the result of the polls in the general elections on July 23.

"Now we see Mr. Feijóo appealing to the worst of corruptions, which is transfuguism. They are going from bad to worse!" said Sánchez.

In that sense, he has stated that the PP "kicked him out" of the previous popular leader, Pablo Casado, according to him, for trying to investigate an alleged corruption plot involving the brother of the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso.

In his opinion, this case adds to the corruption plot of the 'Gürtel' linked to the PP, "with a so-called patriotic police that what it did was persecute its political adversaries also here in Catalonia, or hinder the work of the justice to cover up their corruption scandals.

The acting president has shown his surprise that Díaz Ayuso urged him to call elections this week, and has asked the popular people to assume that "the repealing proposal of Feijóo and Abascal failed" at the polls on July 23.

"You can lose elections, you can lose votes, but what you cannot lose is the sense of reality," said the socialist leader, who has literally accused Feijóo of being a failed candidate for a failed investiture.

Faced with this, he has defended that "there are numbers" to form a coalition government of the PSOE and Sumar, and has guaranteed that once in Moncloa he will seek support to raise the SMI and revalue pensions, as he promised during the campaign.
