Sánchez claims "more strongly than ever" to achieve a "royal investiture" after Feijóo's "little theater"

The general secretary of the PSOE, Pedro Sánchez, has vindicated himself this Saturday, after what he "heard" in the failed investiture debate of the PP leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, this week in the Congress of Deputies, "with more desire, more strength and more arguments than ever for there to be four more years of progressive government" in Spain, "of social progress and rights and coexistence in our country", for which he has committed to working for a "royal investiture" after the "little theater" that, in his opinion, the 'popular' leader has starred in in the last month.

This was indicated by Pedro Sánchez during his speech at a political event in La Rinconada (Seville), the first after Feijóo's failed investiture debate, which concluded this past Friday in the Congress of Deputies, and two days before that King Felipe VI begins a new round of consultations with the parliamentary groups to propose a new candidate for the investiture, to which the socialist leader is summoned on Tuesday, October 3.

They have preceded Sánchez in speaking at this event at the 'El Abrazo' venue in La Rinconada, which was attended by around 3,000 people, according to calculations by the socialist organization, the deputy secretary general of the PSOE and minister of Finance and Public Function in office, María Jesús Montero; the general secretary of the PSOE-A, Juan Espadas, and the mayor of the town, general secretary of the PSOE of Seville and president of the Provincial Council, Javier Fernández.

In his speech, the socialist leader criticized Feijóo for saying "that he can be president of the Government, but that he does not want to." "He is so used to lying to everyone, that he lies to himself," Pedro Sánchez commented on the matter before stating that "we socialists do want to" and "yes, we are going to work for a real investiture, not an investiture." false", to achieve "a progressive Government, with four more years of social progress and rights for Spaniards, of coexistence and harmony", he added.

"That is what is going to happen, four more years of coexistence," said Pedro Sánchez, who has said that he is going to "give his all" to achieve that goal, and who has outlined some of the commitments he plans to make in his investiture debate if he is proposed for it after the King's round of consultations, on matters such as the Minimum Interprofessional Wage, housing or equality between men and women.

Thus, he has announced that ahead of his inauguration he will promise a reform of the Workers' Statute "so that the Minimum Interprofessional Wage, by law, is 60% of the average salary in our country every year."

Furthermore, he is going to "request the trust" of the Congress of Deputies "so that every year we fill the pension piggy bank", which the PP governments "skimmed", contributing "5,000 million euros every year so that our young people when they retire they have a dignified retirement".

Similarly, Sánchez has committed to sending the Government to Parliament the Parity Law project that already passed through the table of the Council of Ministers in the last legislature, but that could not go forward due to the call for elections on 23 July, so that "there is 50% of economic and political power in the hands of the women of our country."

Sánchez has also particularly committed himself "to young people" to make housing in this legislature "the great national cause", a "constitutional right, not a problem as it is for many people in our country", he said.

REJECT THE "MANTRAS" OF THE RIGHT SUCH AS "SPAIN IS SINKING"

During his speech, Sánchez criticized the "mantras" of the right about "Spain breaking and sinking", when it is "the main European economy that is growing in terms of GDP" despite the pandemic and the war in Ukraine. , as he assessed before adding that "when Spain was on the verge of breaking up" it was with the Government chaired by Mariano Rajoy and there was "a unilateral declaration of independence in Catalonia."

Thus, the acting president has claimed that "today in Spain there is more harmony and coexistence thanks to the dialogue that we have promoted in these four years" of "progressive government."

Furthermore, he has defended that the socialists "do not distribute constitutionalism cards", since "we are part of the drafting" of the Magna Carta and they comply with it "every day of the year" and "with all the articles, something they do not do." them", he added in reference to the 'popular', whom he accused of having been "for five years failing to comply, skipping it, hijacking the judicial power, which they consider to be theirs".

Sánchez has also alluded to the meeting he held this week with MEPs from different parts of Europe with whom he recalled his idea, expressed before 23J, that in those general elections "we could show the entire world, and in particular Europe, that we are seeing ourselves subjected" to an "advance of the extreme right, that we could demonstrate that we can stop the advance of the extreme right.

"And that is what all progressives in Europe and the world recognize and thank us for, that thanks to the democratic power in Spain we have stopped the extreme right and there will be no government with a president Feijó and a vice president (Santiago) Abascal" , but that "there will be a progressive government", as he stated.

Sánchez concluded by calling for this new "progressive Government" in Spain that contributes to a Europe that is "a beacon of rights and freedoms, of social achievements, of defense of workers, of the welfare State, of defense of democracy, of freedom and diversity", he stressed after reviewing the parties that govern in the other four "large countries" of Europe "by size and economic power", such as France, Italy, Germany and Poland.
