The PSOE spokesperson, Montse Mínguez, has dismissed this Monday that the results of the Andalusian elections held yesterday can be interpreted as a defeat for Pedro Sánchez. Instead of that interpretation, she has insisted that they constitute a "failure" of the PP at the state level, considering that it "does not emancipate itself from Vox" and that it remains conditioned by the far-right party.
As she pointed out, the PP candidate, Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla, and the national PP president, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, "have gotten themselves into a mess" with the electoral calendar that opens up for 2026, having failed to achieve the objective they had set for this cycle.
In separate interviews on "La hora de la 1" on TVE and "Las mañanas de RNE," reported by Europa Press, the socialist leader stressed that the strategy designed by the national leadership of the PP "has been a failure," because "in the four regional elections, the main objective of the national Popular Party was to distance itself from Vox and be more independent, and every time the polls open, what is shown is that the Popular Party does not achieve that objective."
Mínguez added that, although the PSOE candidate, María Jesús Montero, has not achieved the results the party had set, this cannot be interpreted as a personal setback for the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez: "not at all." In her opinion, "it was a strategic calendar and planned from Génova 13, and in the four elections it is shown that they have not met their objectives," she remarked, insisting that the negative balance falls on the popular leadership.
