The leader of the PP and candidate for the Presidency of the Government, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has defined this Wednesday as “failure” the “preventive” strike called by the unions “against the opposition”, which, in his view, constitutes “a disguised act of an election campaign on the part of the unions”.
“With all due respect, at least in the public services that I have seen, in healthcare, in education, the success of the strike is clearly that it has been a failure,” Feijóo has asserted on the program 'El Hormiguero', which was reported by Europa Press.
The PP president has recalled that he already told the leaderships that it was a “mistake” to call for this protest and has emphasized that, after the accident in Urda (Toledo), in which 69 people died, “it also makes no sense to hold a strike”, noting that this Tuesday a State funeral took place.
“This is a simulated act of an election pre-campaign and this is a historical error by the unions,” he said, also warning the head of the Executive that on November 29 “there is no strike” and that then it will be seen “what the Spanish people really think” at the ballot boxes.
In line with the videos circulated by the Government encouraging support for the call, Feijóo has said that he does not share that position and has emphasized that “people are much more intelligent than some citizens and politicians think”.
Calls for condemning violent acts during the strike
In addition, the PP president has referred to incidents and episodes of violence recorded during the strike day. “I hope that the parties and unions that have encouraged this disgrace condemn it,” he said.
In this context, he has promised not to give “not even one step back in the face of the violent, the criminals and the intolerant”. “Not one step back in the face of those who do not accept defeat. Not one step back,” Feijóo insisted in a message on his official 'X' account, which was reported by Europa Press.
