The PSOE uses Feijóo's meeting with Vox to justify its sit-in against the PP: "It appears more posturing than willingness to dialogue"

The PSOE has used this Tuesday the “secret meeting” between Alberto Núñez Feijóo and Santiago Abascal to attack the winner of the elections for his attempt to get closer to Pedro Sánchez and slam a possible agreement between the two majority parties that has never reached to consider. In a letter sent on Sunday to the acting Prime Minister, the PP leader requested a meeting this week to facilitate his investiture.

“It is powerfully striking because that letter addressed by Mr. Feijóo appears more like a posturing than really a desire for dialogue, as we already guessed, since it hides or at least does not mention that there were contacts, conversations with other environments that make any kind of activity absolutely incompatible. joint proposal,” said María Jesús Montero, deputy secretary general in Ferraz's leadership, to justify Sánchez's resounding refusal to hold that meeting.

In an interview on TVE, the acting Finance Minister also called it a “paradox” that the president of the popular “airs a letter” and at the same time “hides the secret meeting he had with Vox” in which, according to He has inferred, “they would approximate a diagnosis of the electoral situation and also the framework of alliances that are being developed throughout the territory, whether they are autonomous communities or city councils”: “It seemed more like a position expensive to the gallery than a real proposal”.

“The president was very clear in his response letter: first it is time to [negotiate] the Table of Congress and, once the King designates who has to go to the investiture, from there contacts will be established with all the political groups, including the PP, to explore the margins of support and the margins of confidence that each candidate has. But it is striking that one of the letters goes to the press and we still do not know what they talked about in the meeting with Vox and why they did not give an account to their electorate and citizens,” Montero added.

Talks

In the PSOE they are “working” with “discretion” for the constitution of that Table in the Lower House on August 17, which is “the first milestone”, but they do not hide that their objective is “to occupy positions that have an institutional rank important” in allusion to the Presidency of said body. In this sense, he has also warned the potential partner to relaunch a coalition, Sumar, that the one who has to lead the talks and “make all the efforts” is the main party in the “progressive bloc.”

“The PP has not made a reflection regarding what has happened in these elections, regarding what happens when one lies to all the citizens and Mr. Feijóo made many mistakes during the campaign, that more than missteps is the culture of the lie that the PP has been bringing us in recent times, and, on the other hand, it has not given explanations about elements that were very important and that it is necessary to clarify, such as friendships and their relations with the drug trafficker Marcial Dorado”, has concluded the number two of the PSOE.
