The President of the Government and Socialist candidate, Pedro Sánchez, has sent a message to the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, who has summoned him to maintain contacts “in the coming days” to “avoid the political blockade” after the general elections this Sunday, according to PP sources.

Specifically, with 100% of the census counted, the PP has obtained 136 seats (33.05% of the votes), 47 more deputies than those that the party obtained in the general elections of November 2019. For its part, the PSOE ranks as the second force with 122 seats (31.70%), two more deputies than four years ago, a result that they have celebrated in Ferraz, where Pedro Sánchez has proclaimed that the “involutionist bloc” of PP and Vox “have failed”..

According to PP sources, the PSOE candidate “has written a message to the president of the Popular Party minutes before appearing before the media”. “In the message he has not entered into the particulars of the scrutiny nor in the options for the investiture,” they have added.

The same sources have added that the president of the Popular Party has summoned Pedro Sánchez to “maintain contacts in the coming days in order to avoid the political blockade” of Spain after the elections this Sunday.

In his appearance from the balcony of Genoa, Feijóo has assured that his “duty” is to open dialogue to try to form a government and has stressed that it would be an “anomaly” if the party with the most votes could not govern in Spain.”. For this reason, he has asked that “no one be tempted to block” the Government of Spain, alluding to the socialist candidate and chief executive, Pedro Sánchez.

For his part, the Deputy Secretary of Organization of the Popular Party, Miguel Tellado, said that it is a “pity” that the socialist leader did not take advantage of the message in question to “congratulate whoever won”, that is, Núñez Feijóo.
