Sánchez, on PP-Vox pacts: "What we are seeing is a trailer for a dark movie"

He assures that a coalition government with Yolanda Díaz "will work better and will be even much more functional"

BARCELONA, July 2. (EUROPEAN PRESS) -

The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, has crossed out the PP-Vox pacts after the recoil municipal elections, and has added: "During these last weeks what we are seeing is a trailer for a dark movie."

In an interview in 'El Periódico' collected this Sunday by Europa Press, he considered that "it is important to denounce this reality, this setback that is taking place, which seems minor, but it is not".

Sánchez has warned that "what is important, what is relevant, is not so much the extreme right, but the extreme right-wing of the PP".

"In a country that during these years what has been a process of reconstruction of social dialogue, what we are seeing are governments openly opposed to social dialogue and in favor of the weakening of organizations as important as unions. This is what is happening in Spain", he warned.

According to him, in the 28M there was a hyper mobilization by the voters of PP and Vox, so in the elections of 23J it will be decided whether to advance or go back: "With what we have ahead of us, it is very important that Spain clarify what direction it should take."

He has warned that the PP-Vox governments after 28M represent a "setback from twenty years ago, denying gender violence, denying sexist violence and even prohibiting concentrations after the murders of women."

For this reason, he has called for mobilization and explained that he wants to be re-elected to "consolidate all these advances now that they are taking root", such as the labor reform, the revaluation of pensions, the educational reform and the reform of the university and scientific system. .

For him, after 28M two things have been verified: "That PP and Vox, that Feijóo and Abascal wherever they can, will govern jointly: this is a mystery that is clear. And two, that clearly to the left of the socialist party there has been a process of structuring around the person of Yolanda Díaz y Sumar".

He has defended governing with Sumar because "understanding with Yolanda Díaz will be much easier and, therefore, the coalition government will work better and will even be much more functional" and he has assured verbatim that in order to advance social rights he will seek votes even below the stones.

Regarding economic measures, he stressed that Spain has registered historical employment figures, "although there is still a lot to do in the field of job creation", and he has defended that its economic policy is based on the growth of quality employment, the modernization of the economy and reindustrialization.

Asked what the next steps should be in Catalonia if the current government is reissued, he replied that the different parties must reaffirm their "commitment to the reunion agenda and to dialogue, being aware that this is going to take a long time, that the positions are very far apart", but that coexistence is fundamental.

He has pointed out that "there is no constitution in the world that recognizes the right to segregation of a part of its territory and therefore, Spain, like the rest of the democracies, does not have that recognized in the Constitution."

"It is contrary to everything we are building about coexistence and overcoming the drama, the territorial and social tear that we are experiencing and that Catalonia particularly saw in 2017," he added.

For Sánchez, Catalan society is recognizing the efforts of the socialist party for coexistence and this is demonstrated by the results of the municipal governments in Catalonia, where they govern in three of the four provincial capitals.
