The Popular Party deputy and number two to the Congress for Madrid, Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo, has requested support at the ballot box for her formation ahead of the general elections of November 29, with the aim of promoting a “national reconstruction” process and “returning decency to Spain” in the face of an Executive that she has described as a “kleptocracy” and of having a project “exclusively of personal power”.
She has predicted that “when all this is over, in the PSOE, what remains of it will have to choose between refurbishment and extinction. And if there is a green shoot somewhere, the first thing it will have to do” is “to break with the two scourges that have destroyed the PSOE”: the pacts with “separatism” and the “promotion of civil-warrior ideology”.
These statements were made by her this Sunday in Pamplona, where she took part in an open forum together with the president of the management committee of the PP of Navarre and number two to the Congress for the foral community in the UPN-PP coalition, Sergio Sayas.
Álvarez de Toledo emphasized the “direct link” in this legislature “between a kleptocracy and the decadence of Spain”, with leaders who “take hold of power and devote themselves to handing it over in service of an exclusively personal-power project”. She has denounced “an immorality that has consequences in the form of ruin and death”, referring to the train accident in Toledo, and has stated that Óscar Puente has not stepped down “out of an attack of dignity but out of an attack of electoral panic”.
The Popular Party leader has defended that the PP’s project involves “returning decency to Spain in order to recover hope” and has advocated for “a revolution of decency to recover hope, coexistence” and “putting the well-being of the citizen first”.
She has maintained that “we have not had a government in the strict sense”, recalling that it has been “an entire legislature without budgets”. “We have had a process of mutation from an imperfect democracy into a kleptocracy,” she has emphasized. As she put it, all of this “explodes when Ábalos started putting on parties with prostitutes in a public Parador” and revealed “a system of institutionalized plunder in which its epicenter was the Ministry of Transport” and that it has had at ADIF the “hot core of that plunder”.
In this line, he has criticized that, “the next day” after the resignation of Puente, the leadership of ADIF met to “safeguard their millionaire bonuses.” “ADIF as the spoils of the socialist hacks,” he has summarized, criticizing that “you have to have a minimum of empathy to do something like that.” “Trains derail in Spain because kleptocracy costs lives,” he has concluded.
He has indicated that the European Union and the UCO “is investigating where the money of Spaniards and Europeans has gone” and has assured that the PP is going to “go all the way; we are going to protect Spaniards so that they don’t have fear of getting on a train and we are going to make the guilty pay with prison if necessary.”
Álvarez de Toledo has taken Sánchez to task for having stated that “he will not go to the funeral for the victims of Toledo.” “You don’t have to be Catholic; you have to be decent, and the president of the Government is not decent,” he has said. He added that these years “will be remembered as the years of indecency with backrooms, jewels, whores, saunas, connections, bribes, drug traffickers, mafias...”
At this point, he has called on socialist voters: “Is it decent to make a pact with a party that justifies the assassination of our fellow countrymen, is it decent to buy power by granting impunity to those who carried out a coup d’état, is it decent to take sick leave out of victimhood for five days” and “to set up a backroom to destroy judges, prosecutors, and police?” He has emphasized that these elections are “pre-political in the sense of morals.”
Álvarez de Toledo has defended that “the PSOE’s strategy has failed; Sánchez has tried to govern by encouraging hatred,” but “Spain is not polarized; there is a minority that tries to push the rest out of the political board,” even though “we are increasingly more.” “Our responsibility is national reconstruction, stone by stone, in all areas” and “we are going to do it by stitching the wounds, suturing the divisions,” he has insisted.
SAYAS ASKS THAT NAVARRA’S “RESPONSE” TO THE PSOE BE “ZERO SEATS”
For his part, Sergio Sayas has highlighted the “strength” of the PP project in Navarre, “with clear leadership, without complexes; we are going to be the voice in Navarre of the middle classes and the scourge of María Chivite in the waste of public resources and by giving money to people who don’t want to lift a finger”.
Sayas has warned that Spain "is living one of the darkest episodes of recent democratic times" and has accused Pedro Sánchez's government of "eroding the most basic ethics and morals" marked by "incapacity, negligence, and moral misery".
"In Navarre we have lived it in a special way and, unfortunately, as the protagonist," he added, to criticize that "they have used Navarre as a laboratory for the corruption they have exported to the entire national territory." In this context, he has cited the works on the Belate tunnels or the arrival at the presidency of María Chivite "with the votes of the infamy of whoever has terrorists on their lists."
"We have been ashamed when we have seen that Navarre was an image of indecency," Sayas lamented, who has stressed that these elections are an occasion to "tell the Partido Socialista that the response of Navarre is the one that the party of Santos Cerdán deserves, which is to get zero seats." Therefore, he has urged to "stand up to the PSOE and fill the ballot boxes for a project of regeneration and reconstruction of Spain" that will take Alberto Núñez Feijóo to the Moncloa.
Sergio Sayas has defended that the coalition between UPN and PP constitutes "good news for Navarre" in the face of the "national emergency situation that our country has" and that "joining forces becomes the only possible alternative." "Everything that is not taking the UPN-PP ballot is helping Pedro Sánchez," he has ruled.
