Sánchez criticizes in Porto the "arrogance" of those who threaten Doñana and who look for excuses to "do nothing"

MADRID, 23 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, criticized this Sunday at an act of the Socialist International in Porto the "arrogance" "of those who denounce climate change" but who "threaten" a "natural treasure" such as the Natural Park of Doñana, in reference to the bill being processed in the Andalusian Parliament on irrigation in the northern crown of Doñana.

During his speech in English at the commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the Portuguese Socialist Party, Sánchez recalled that Spain and Portugal, due to their geographical location, are "highly exposed" to the impact of global warming and even more so these weeks during the drought.

In this context, he has made a veiled reference to the controversial law on irrigation, criticizing the "arrogance" of those who threaten that "natural treasure". "The right-wing parties are always looking for excuses to do nothing," Sánchez launched.

Likewise, he has called on the Socialist International "not to lower the voice of social democracy" and to be "listened to, encouraged and united in the global conversation", Sánchez has launched to also claim public health, education, pension and dignity so that they are preserved in future generations.

"We international socialists must be once again, as we were 50 years ago, a powerful voice of activism", said the also president of the Socialist International.

In addition, he recalled that Mario Suárez together with Felipe González were the figures who consolidated democracy on "this side of Western Europe" and that alliance between the two countries has been a "source of inspiration" for him in recent years in which the Society has experienced "unimaginable global events," he has said.

Finally, he wanted to thank the hospitality of the Portuguese Prime Minister, António Costa, and invited him to continue being "a benchmark for European social democracy" and forge "another 50 years of dignity and struggle for social justice and democracy" in Portugal and in international socialism.
