The PP candidate for Congress for Barcelona and current mayor of Badalona (Barcelona), Xavier García Albiol, has launched an attack against the head of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, whom he holds responsible for spreading videos in which he urges people to join the general strike. In his view, "It is an absolute irresponsibility, because they are harming the overwhelming majority."
In a video circulated this Tuesday on the social network 'X' and picked up by Europa Press, Albiol argues that "it's a bloody disgrace that, while people are being screwed over and can't go to work or to university, those who govern, those who say that a response should be given to this problem, are doing the opposite by urging people to block the streets."
The popular leader insists that "There are many people who what they want is to live a normal life, therefore I couldn't keep quiet. I'm outraged," underscoring that he feels obliged to publicly denounce the situation.
He has also lashed out at the call, pointing out that the strike "is organized by the unions and that, for the first time in the history of unionism, instead of going against the Government, it is going against the opposition."
To conclude, Albiol has assured that, after the general elections of next November 29, "there will be a Feijóo Government that will dedicate itself to being alongside the neighbors and not encouraging demonstrations against the large majority."
