Feijóo admits that Dorado "had been a smuggler" when he met him

There are only a few hours left before the end of the campaign and Feijóo still answers about the controversial photograph with Marcial Dorado, convicted of drug trafficking and money laundering, with whom he had a friendship almost three decades ago. The PSOE once again used the snapshot as an electoral weapon in the final stretch of the general campaign, casting doubt on the true relationship of the Galician president with the narco. Asked about it in several interviews in recent days, the leader of the PP has given different explanations. If two days ago he assured in La Sexta that, when that image was taken, Dorado “did not have any open cause” and was unaware of his business, this Friday he added in Cope that, when he met him, he had already been a smuggler, but not a drug trafficker.

“I didn't expect the Prime Minister to use this garbage,” the popular leader exploded, adding that the left has taken the same photo of him during “five electoral campaigns.”. “I met him when he had nothing to do with this matter,” insisted the Galician, in relation to drug trafficking charges. And it added that, in the summary of the National Court on the case, it is stated that “this man has photos with people from all political parties”, and that “none of them was called to testify”.

This Thursday, the current president of the Xunta, Alfonso Rueda, gave some explanations on the issue that served as gunpowder to the left on social networks. Asked if he knew what Marcial Dorado was doing, he stated that, at that time, there was news “that the whole world knew about.”. With everything, and when the controversy broke out again in the last week of the campaign, Genoa chose to ignore the matter to “not go down into the mud” of its political adversaries, with the certainty, they say, that it is an issue that “does not move a vote”.

However, and as published by El Confidencial, there are voices in the party that warn of a loss of initiative against the left in the final stretch. “Campaigns are war”, affirm these sources, who would have seen fit for the PP to counterattack by publishing other uncomfortable photographs of Sánchez, such as the one that the chief executive has with Juan Bernardo Fuentes Curbelo, alias Tito Berni. “They have heated up too much,” they maintain.
