The spokesperson for the Popular Group in Congress and head of the list for León, Ester Muñoz, has called on citizens not to relax in the face of the elections on 29 November and to go to the polls in large numbers "in self-defense" because "nothing has been done."
Muñoz has responded in this way after being questioned by the macro-survey of the Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas (CIS) for these elections, which places the PSOE as the party receiving the most votes with 33.3 percent and a range of between 134 and 143 seats, leaving the combined total of PP and Vox far from an absolute majority.
"The CIS is evaluated by itself; we have already seen what it has been doing in recent years, it is just one more tool and one more instrument at the service of Pedro Sánchez's campaign and therefore there is little else to comment on," the Popular Party leader has said.
The candidate has insisted that the campaign "is not done." "In the Partido Popular we are not going to take anything for granted despite the fact that the rest of the polls give us winners; here nothing is won until election day and therefore to keep working, fighting and struggling so that votes reach the ballot boxes," she has emphasized.
During an information breakfast with journalists in León, held on the first day of the election campaign, the PP representative stressed that on 29 November voters will have to choose between keeping an Executive "that destroys their lives" or opening, as she has said, a new political stage.
Along these lines, she has pointed out that in Spain "nothing works" after eight years of government by Pedro Sánchez, despite the fact that the central government has managed more economic resources in this time than ever. "Nothing works because they are incompetent. They don't know how to manage even when there is too much money," she has added.
Criticism of Sánchez and defense of the PP project
"HAS DESTROYED THE MIDDLE CLASS"
She has also accused Pedro Sánchez of having introduced into the country "systemic corruption," although, in her view, the most serious thing is that "he has destroyed the middle class" and "put an end to the hope of millions of young people." "He has created a country of poor workers," she has maintained.
In this context, she has warned that propaganda without management has real effects and has reproached that the Government has been since 2022 without approving new General State Budget Bills (PGE), which, as she has indicated, has had an impact on the daily lives of Spaniards to the point of even affecting "their lives" -- with reference to the rail accident in Toledo --.
In the face of the action of the Executive, Muñoz has asserted the alternative of the PP leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, based on “recovering” the middle classes, reducing the VAT on basic products, ensuring that young people “have a future,” and strengthening public education and healthcare. “With that hope and with those wishes to improve our country and for there to be a necessary change, we present ourselves for these elections, being aware that we have the best candidate,” he concluded.
