As in revenge movies, this time is personal, although in reality it was always personal. The Popular Party has turned this legislature into a dirty and despicable matter with innumerable personal attacks. With that, he has released internal tensions caused by his disappointment in the 2023 elections. Now almost everyone is dedicated to the mother of almost everyone. The socialists – or specifically Pedro Sánchez – have decided that they will continue on that path that the opposition has chosen.
A president minimized by the evidence that is known about his former trusted men Ábalos and Cerdán had to pass an exam in Congress and check how much life his disappointed partners give him. You will see the average bottle full and think that the right to reach summer holidays has been gained and then see how the patio breathes from September. The PP only has to step on the accelerator further and teach with personal insults. On these occasions, leaders prefer not to get so far because of giving an image of a certain dignity. Alberto Núñez Feijóo is already back of all that and stirred without complexes in the mud.
In the replica, he was outraged by Sánchez's constant mentions to the cases of corruption of the PP and his old friendship with Marcial Dorado, the tobacco smuggler who ended up being convicted of his collaboration with drug trafficking. He must have hurt Feijóo, because he responded with a low blow: “He has had the rennet of comparing me. Who do you live with?” He referred to the wife, Begoña Gómez, to which the PP considers to be guilty of everything despite the chaotic instruction of the hairstyle, unable to find incontestable indications after a year of investigation.
The worst came later: “What brothels you have lived? Is a lucrative participant of the abominable prostitution business.” Was the government president accusing to have been a pimp, having received money from a women's exploitation plot? It seems that this is the level we have reached in Spanish politics and from there it is very difficult to leave. He was referring to the fact that Sánchez's father -in -law, already deceased, owned a club that functioned as a gay sauna, or at least he identified in complaints of the ultra clean hands or certain media, and also in the recordings of Commissioner Villarejo.
A police commissioner, of the most important in Rajoy's time, denied that some kind of police espionage was made in that club and said that “that man has done is help the Municipal Police, the Civil Guard” when he had useful information for police bodies. For a long time, it is known that Rajoy's Ministry of Interior tried to use what was known about that business to “politically kill Sánchez.”
Feijóo decided that this story that mixes facts, rumors and false news is perfect to reach the Moncloa. Then, he cannot complain if they call him drug trafficker or who, if one day he arrives in Moncloa, his wife is part of the political and media menu. In politics, we have reached the point that politicians can accuse each other of committing crimes and nothing happens. Then, some of them presume that they are constitutionalist to the bone marrow.
PNV spokeswoman Maribel Vaquero, declared herself perplexed by Feijóo's attitude, who also dedicated himself to threatening the parties that support the government. “He has shown an improper attitude of someone who aspires to be president of the Government by mentioning relatives. It is a red line that can never be transferred.” Vaquero works with information that has been very old. One of the PP speech axes is to load directly against Sánchez's family.
There were a few unusual moments on Wednesday's plenary. On a personal level, Sanchez had not cut anything. He said that of all those present in the hemicycle, Feijóo was “the only person who has had relations with a convicted criminal,” by Marcial Dorado (who had not yet been convicted of drug trafficking when he was on vacation with the current leader of the PP). He recalled things that are true, such as Feijóo's phrase in which he said that “a police report is not a judicial sentence.” They were the times of the Gürtel. For the PP, the UCO report on the management of Ábalos, Koldo and Cerdán has the same force as a sentence.
Sánchez came to break down the corruption cases that accompanied the governments of Felipe González. It is true that he said that González “did great things for the country”, but to bring to light the dirty rags of a socialist president for a co -religionist has never been seen. With Aznar and Rajoy, it was more neat. Of course there was a topic. When he said that “Aznar presided over the most corrupt government in the history of democracy,” the PP seats or were immutatized. When he referred to Feijóo, then the deputies began to insult.
References to Sánchez's father -in -law were received not with applause, but with widowed. When blood smells, PP deputies are like a stampede.
Another unusual moment was to see Yolanda Díaz sitting on her seat of adding and then speaking on behalf of her group. He did not oppose the government of which he is part, that would have already been too much originality, but he did show his little confidence in the president and the response he has given so far in this crisis. The vice president spoke with the passion and energy that abandoned Sánchez for a long time: “Progressive citizenship is distressed.”
Díaz did receive with satisfaction the package of fifteen measures announced by Sánchez to improve the fight against corruption, of which he said that the PSOE had accepted ten of his proposals. Anyway, Rajoy's government also announced measures in that matter, because it is what governments always do. It is better than going home.
Sanchez obtained an extension in the Plenary from the partners without being considered a great victory. It would be absurd to think that it was reinforced. It is still in assisted breathing. The PNV made it clear that your credit is in red numbers. Everyone knows that the alternative would be an early elections at the most conducive time for the PP and Vox. Nobody wants to leave their fingerprints in the crime scene. Every time Feijóo speaks – this version of Feijóo willing to borrow the knife from Tellado to handle it himself – they convince themselves that we must continue to endure.
“Governing is not resisting. It's transforming,” said Yolanda Díaz. We will see how the government is transformed after summer. In your current condition, you can't survive much time. Only new budgets can save you.
