The PP ironizes with Sánchez's ministers who flee so as not to answer about their pacts with Bildu

The electoral campaign begins and each party takes starting positions. While Pedro Sánchez makes his debut in the White House and Ione Belarra proposing to double bank taxes, Alberto Núñez Feijóo's PP has made its electoral argument clear from the outset: link the PSOE with Bildu. If that was the speech yesterday, today's has focused on the personal attack against the ministers, who flee from the press so as not to answer for their pacts.

This is how the Popular Party has used it since early Friday, publishing several campaign messages that seek to compare the socialist candidates with the abertzales. “When Sánchez talks to you about pacts, this is the pact he is talking about,” reads one of the party's tweets, to later show the image of a PSOE ballot that, when entering the ballot box, becomes one of Bildu.

In a similar vein, the spears have also addressed the government ministers themselves, showing a video of them avoiding questions from Antena 3 about the pacts. In recent days the campaign against the nationalists has intensified, which included a total of 44 ex-terrorists from ETA (seven of them convicted of murder) on their lists for the 28-M elections.

This Wednesday, after the controversy broke out, the EH Bildu candidate for the Presidency of Navarra, Laura Aznal, stated that the people convicted of belonging to ETA who are part of the coalition's electoral lists “have all their rights intact, their political rights as well.

It is a position that has generated wounds within the PSOE, a party punished by ETA that has found in EH Bildu one of its strategic allies for the so-called investiture bloc. The perception is that the visible faces of the party do not want to talk about this issue, much less in elections, and the PP has made it known with its video.

Only the vice president Nadia Calviño, the minister Margarita Robles and the president Javier Lambán have raised their voices against the candidacy of the exetarras, asking to break any type of relationship with the independence party. Other PSOE charges, however, already detailed to this newspaper a few days ago that they preferred “votes to bullets.”

“If the law says that they can go, it is inevitable that any citizen of the country can appear,” recognized a deputy in Congress. “It is perfectly legal and, in part, it is what we asked them to lay down their arms and participate in the democratic system,” added another.
