Squabble between Sánchez and Feijóo over the whistles: The president blames the PP and the 'popular' demands respect

MADRID, 12 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The acting president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, has blamed the PP for the whistles he received upon his arrival at the parade on October 12, blaming them for not understanding the diversity of Spain, to which the leader of the 'popular' , Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has responded by ensuring that no leader of his party has encouraged him to boo.

In an informal conversation with journalists during the reception at the Royal Palace hosted by the Kings, Sánchez spoke about the boos and whistles and the shouts of "let Txapote vote for you", stressing that what is "serious" is not that the citizens but rather that the leaders of the PP say so and that no one demands that they "rectify."

The acting president of the Government has criticized the right for its attempt to "appropriate" the national symbols and the flag, which he has said belong to everyone, and has stressed that their problem is that they do not understand that "Spain is more diverse and plural" of what the PP and Vox are. "They do not assume that Spain is more than what they represent," he insisted.

Likewise, he stressed that it is surely "very frustrating" for Feijóo to find himself in this situation when he thought he was going to have an absolute majority in the July 23 elections, while maintaining that they do not have a political project. In his opinion, they make a "very minor and very destructive" opposition.

Asked about Sánchez's statements, the leader of the PP stressed that the whistles at the President of the Government have already become a "classic" during the parade on October 12, although he acknowledged that "perhaps" this year it was a bit stronger.

Feijóo has reproached the head of the Executive for talking about respect for the institutions and then not being "capable of respecting the first party in Spain", while ensuring that no leader of his party has "organized or commanded" the boos against Sánchez and calling it a "joke" that the president says otherwise.

Regarding the diversity of Spain, the leader of the PP has maintained that "plural and diverse Spain" is governed by his party, which is in charge of twelve autonomous communities as well as Ceuta and Melilla.
