The PP assumes that it will negotiate its "new Moncloa pacts" with a PSOE without Pedro Sánchez

For weeks, Genoa has encouraged the thesis that there will be a replacement in the socialist executive in the event that the polls confirm the prediction of all the polls in Spain, except that of the CIS. Feijóo himself has been justifying his victory, among other things, in the need for “the PSOE to reset itself and become a state party again.”

Popular sources point out to EL ESPAÑOL that “in a democracy, all the presidents who have ceased to be so have fallen into irrelevance”. The change of leadership, therefore, is “what has always happened in political parties”. And this time, they predict, will not be an exception: “When a presidency collapses, it is renewed.”

On the other hand, the aforementioned sources see the agreements proposed by Feijóo as viable for a reason: “In the manual of a bipartisan leader, the State Pacts are the first chapter”. And for example, the newspaper library: Felipe González initialing the Constitution itself, Aznar the Pact of Toledo or Zapatero that of Justice.

In this sense, they remember that Pablo Casado himself “offered several agreements to Sánchez, but he did not give him even water. Because, part of the consolidation of a new leadership, is a State Pact”.

In other words, in the PP they predict that the person who takes charge of Ferraz in the post-Sánchez era will be more prone to understanding with Feijóo. The current legislature will end without the two main political forces having managed to reach a great agreement on any matter.

In his last interview with EL ESPAÑOL, the popular candidate left several headlines that appealed to a “moderate” PSOE, erecting Emiliano García-Page, to whom he feels “close”, as a representative of that section. In addition, he said that if he stayed within 20 seats of the absolute majority, he would demand the abstention of the Socialists so as not to depend on Vox.

“If the PSOE is responsible for Vox entering the Government, it will pay for it at the polls. I can assure you. And I honestly believe that an internal debate would open up and I don't think Sánchez would win it, if he were defeated by a PP that surpasses the PSOE and Sumar,” Feijóo said.

This Monday, in his speech, the leader of the PP stressed that Spain is facing the challenge of “undoing trenches, of preventing the Spanish from being divided into factions, of charting a path of progress and well-being in common”. At all times, he stressed the importance of leading a “change without anger”, not “abrupt”, with a “desire for revenge” or “run over”.

The 5 Covenants

With the background echo of the Transition, the president of the popular ones proposed to “restore the spirit of Moncloa that gave birth” to democracy and “replace party coalitions with State Pacts”. In total, he put five pacts on the table to undertake during the next legislature: “Without vetoes or sanitary cordons.”

These are: “Institutional agreement that improves democratic quality, agreement for the welfare state that guarantees the viability of public health and the stability of education, agreement for economic consolidation for the solvency of the most vulnerable, that seeks a path more prosperous for young people; a pact for families, so that they have greater capacity for what is a priority; a territorial pact aimed at strengthening the Spain of the autonomies”.

Feijóo emphasized that the objective of sealing the aforementioned pacts would not depend solely on him: “Many things have to change in the rest of the parties, but eloquent electoral results will undoubtedly take us there.”. With one of those five pacts coming out, the legislature will have been worth it.”
