The president of the Government and general secretary of the PSOE, Pedro Sánchez, has released the political course this Sunday in an act of the Andalusian socialists with the Vice President and Minister of Finance María Jesús Montero and also marks the start of the pre -campaign of the Andalusian autonomous elections of 2026.
In this act, Sánchez has commented that he has seen “some Palestinian flag” among the militants attending the event held in the Sports Pavilion of the University of Malaga and has taken the opportunity to remember that today the cycling return to Spain ends. The socialist leader, who has taken the opportunity to recognize and show “absolute respect” to athletes, has taken the opportunity to declare their “admiration for a people like the Spanish that mobilizes for fair causes, such as Palestine.”
Sánchez has taken the moment to point to the opposition: “What does the opposition about barbarism say in Gaza? He says nothing.” “They have less ideas than education, but in this complex context in international Spain today shines as an example and as a pride, an example before an international community that sees how Spain takes a step forward in the defense of human rights,” he added.
Likewise, the chief of the Executive has shown his “pride of seeing a country as plural as ours, so diverse in the territorial, but that nevertheless we all agree on a fair cause such as human rights, so live human rights and live to the Spanish people.”
Pedro Sánchez has also insisted on the idea of finishing the legislature and lengthening his second government until 2027, after which he has recriminated the hypocrisy of the Popular Party: “Spain does not hurt, it hurts to be in the opposition, which is where they are going to be a little longer.” The Socialist General Secretary has also said that if the PP needs Vox to govern “there they will be.”
Before his speech, it has been the turn of María Jesús Montero, who has had words of solidarity with the people who are suffering in Gaza, “who are victims of terror, women and children, more than 60,000 dead we carry and many of them, starving because the entry of humanitarian aid is prevented.” In this sense, he has exalted the position adopted by the Government: “Pedro marks the road to the rest of Europe.”
The general secretary of the Andalusian socialists has referred to the removal of the debt, to the social policies and the management that the PP is carrying out in the government of the Junta de Andalucía, which has criticized for refusing the removal. He has also presented to the PSOE as an “unbearable alidy” for those “who are not rich of cradle” and whose priority is health, education and dependence.
A few minutes before, upon the arrival of the president of the Government to the facilities of the Malaga University, a demonstration of more than a hundred people has received it with Palestine and banner flags asking for an embargo from Israel and the total breakdown of relations with this state. Sets have been chanted such as: “How many children do they have to kill?” or “Israel bombarde with European weapons.”
The Minister of Culture and spokesman to add, Ernest Urtasun, has also celebrated the mobilizations in the Cycling Tour of Spain against “the greatest atrocity of the 21st century.” In a statement to the media in Girona, Urtasun has indicated that “Spanish society no longer tolerates that cultural and sports events serve to bleach the genocide” and has affirmed that the State Security forces and Bodies are “perfectly compatible with the safety of cyclists with protests.”
Urtasun has defended that Israel's participation should have been prevented in the Vuelta and that “you have to do everything possible to expel Israel” of the Eurovision contest. In case of not achieving it, the head of government culture proposes that Spain join the countries that have advanced that they will not participate if it is presented. The minister is confident that RTVE make decisions in this regard “in the next few days and weeks.”
The general secretary of Podemos, Ione Belarra, has left the passage of Sánchez's statements In the social network X questioning that the police device deployed this Sunday is not withdrawn on the occasion of the arrival of the Vuelta to Spain to Madrid, which has said that it is “superior to the NATO summit”, and added that it has “the face of armed cement”.
This Sunday's security device, which has been reinforced before the forecast of numerous protests, is the largest since the 2022 summit, but is not superior, neither in number of agents or in number of police units, than the one deployed then.
Precisely this Saturday the demonstrations in favor of Palestine and against the Israeli genocide in Gaza were repeated again and that came to provoke the diversion of the squad in Cercedilla, avoiding their passage through the center of the town due to the large number of protesters, and even cut the road in the becerril of the mountains between the head of the race and the squad, although without affecting the test. The Civil Guard.
The presence of the Israeli Premier Tech cycling team, who has removed the name of the Jewish state of the corridors's jersey, has caused a wave of indignation that has been reflected in the current edition of the cycling return to Spain between those who demand greater measures to curb the genocide in Gaza and the expulsion of the Israeli teams of sports competitions.
This Saturday, sources of presidency of the Community of Madrid announced late in the afternoon that they will “denounce” and “undertake legal actions” for the protests that have led to “violent acts.” “We will denounce and undertake the appropriate legal actions so that violent acts such as those that have occurred today at the stage of the return that ended the ball of the world in Navacerrada do not repeat themselves and so that its authors can be punished and all the responsibilities refined,” these same sources of the Ayuso government point out.
The leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has described the protests as “embarrassment” and has affirmed that, “instead of ministers encouraging it, the government should condemn it, denounce and avoid it.”
Sánchez will require platforms to eliminate 53,000 illegal tourist floors
The President of the Government has announced during the socialist rally that this Monday they will revoke and remove from the single lease registry a total of 53,000 homes “that intend to become holiday or tourist rentals”, so that they become “constant rentals, permanent for young people, the families of this country.”
Sanchez has defended in Malaga that “that is governing for people, which is what the PSOE does when it has the honor of leading institutions”, also ensuring that they are “developing a new housing policy in the face of perspective, the neoliberal approach that has prevailed in housing policy during these last forty years of democracy.”
Thus, the approval “for the first time in the more than 40 years of the history of democracy” of the Housing Law by the coalition government, which allows “not only the owners of housing but also the autonomous communities to reduce levers to reduce levers to reduce the price of housing, to build official housing and protected housing for young people” has been valued. “That's what we are doing,” he said.
