Moncloa and Genoa see themselves as winners of the Sánchez and Feijóo debate in the Senate

MADRID, 18 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The teams of the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, and the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, have been happy with the interventions of their leaders in the debate that they have held this Tuesday in the Senate, and both from Moncloa and from the The national leadership of the PP have agreed to disassociate the ongoing negotiation for the renewal of the General Council of the Judiciary from the parliamentary duel.

According to sources close to both leaders after the end of the debate in the Upper House, the two sides see themselves as winners of this second parliamentary duel, seeing various failures in the adversary.

Specifically, Sánchez has appeared before the Senate on Tuesday to explain his fiscal measures, such as the tax on large fortunes, and thus debate, among others, with the president of the 'popular' for the second time in the Upper House. In fact, both sought to confront economic models, especially after some communities, also from the PSOE, decided to lower some taxes.

From the Government they believe that the leader of the 'popular' has come to the debate with Sánchez thinking that something else would happen and they consider that he has appeared in the Upper House without proposals and has shown little solvency. Moreover, in Moncloa they defend that the Prime Minister was going to the Senate with the idea of ​​confronting proposals and they believe that this has not happened.

Along the same lines, PSOE sources have reported that Sánchez "has had no opposition" and that Feijóo "has been lost in demagoguery, false figures and fake news" and has shown that he has no alternative to the government's policies.

They also consider that the 'popular' leader "disappoints his own" and in his opinion confirms that the 'Feijóo effect' is based solely on ignorance. "Today he has taken to the Senate a speech created with paragraphs cut and pasted from the papers of his rallies," they have disfigured.

For its part, from the national leadership of the PP they have seen Sánchez with a different tone than the one he offered in the debate on September 6, where he came to accuse the head of the opposition of "insolvency" and "bad faith." In any case, other 'popular' sources consider that Sánchez has also been "quite lacking" this Wednesday.

According to 'Génova', Sánchez has not provided any great news in his appearance and has even copied literal paragraphs that he already pronounced in Congress last week. In contrast, they have highlighted the economic plan that Feijóo has - which he has delivered to the president of the Senate along with his other proposals - and have valued the performance of his leader in this second parliamentary duel.

Regarding the time difference, in Genoa they limit themselves to pointing out that there has been an intervention by Sánchez greater than that of the leader of the PP, although they avoid entering to value much more. "Feijóo has been very sure", they have underlined from the team of the leader of the PP, where they have asked the President of the Government again to withdraw the General State Budgets and to "copy" the income pact that the socialist has promoted in Portugal Antony Costa.

In any case, both in Moncloa and in Genoa they wanted to make it clear that, despite the tone and the debate experienced this Tuesday in the Senate, the negotiation to renew the Judiciary continues its course, disassociating it from this face-to-face.

Precisely, this debate in the Senate has taken place after Sánchez and Feijóo met last Monday in Moncloa to unravel the renewal of the body of judges after the resignation of Carlos Lesmes.

However, from Genoa they assure that the negotiators, Félix Bolaños and Esteban González Pons, continue working to be able to agree on the renewal. This Tuesday, the general coordinator of the PP, Elías Bendodo, admitted that there is "progress" in the talks to reach an agreement in the Council but appealed to prudence not to broadcast these negotiations live.
