The president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has stated that the head of the Executive, Pedro Sánchez, has decided to bring forward the date of the general elections in order to "muzzle" the judges and prevent them from advancing in the investigations into the financing of the PSOE. At the same time, he has pointed to the "money from prostitution" coming from his family environment that, in his opinion, would have been used to fund his primaries.
The leader of the opposition has also questioned the general secretary of the PSOE about "who has ordered" within the party to investigate Judge Beatriz Biedma, responsible for the instruction of the case affecting Pedro Sánchez's brother, and about the specific individuals who have funded the socialist primaries.
"Is there money from Mr. Sánchez's family coming from prostitution that has financed his primaries? That kind of questions are fundamental in a democracy," he stated in an interview on "Cadena Cope," reported by Europa Press.
Feijóo refers to 16 judicial cases
In this line, Feijóo has referred to the corruption cases that, in his opinion, tarnish the Government of Pedro Sánchez, emphasizing that there are "16 summaries" and that, so far, a sentence has only been issued against former minister José Luis Ábalos for the 'mask case', so he expects more judicial resolutions in the coming months.
In light of this scenario, the PP leader maintains that "it has not been a coincidence" that "now" the electoral date is set for November 29. In his view, with this advance, Pedro Sánchez "cuts the possibility" of being summoned by a court "at least as a witness."
"Therefore, what Mr. Sánchez has tried to do is to muzzle the judges so that they do not continue investigating the financing, the sewers, the kickbacks of the PSOE," summarized the president of the PP, lamenting that Spain had not suffered "in 50 years" a "legislature of crime from the Government."
Fear that violence in France will spread
At another point in the interview, Feijóo expressed his concern about the possibility that the violence of the protests in France could transfer to Spain, reproaching that there is a "radical left" that encourages "wild" mobilizations and warning that "evidently that is a risk."
Even so, he has said he understands that citizens "are outraged" because "they can't make ends meet" and have lost purchasing power, with special incidence in Spain, where young people take longer to emancipate than in other countries of the European Union. "Despair must be channeled towards the polls," he has defended.
Relationship with Morocco and migration crises
Regarding foreign policy, Feijóo has assured that he will maintain "loyalty, good neighborliness, and firmness" with Morocco, but without questioning the "territorial integrity of Spain." "That respect must be bilateral and mutual," he has claimed.
He has also criticized that the president of the Government has "thanked" Morocco for "only invading us once," referring to the migration crisis at the end of July in Ceuta. "I don't know what sewer there may be in Mr. Sánchez's mobile," he has hinted.
Likewise, he has criticized that the Spanish Executive has "been left alone" in Brussels by not supporting the new European regulation for migration crisis situations, which provides that "when immigration is used for instrumental purposes, all who have entered, whether adults or minors, are to be immediately returned, and the right to asylum of anyone who has invaded a country is suspended."
In relation to the massive entry of migrants in Ceuta, Feijóo has expressed his desire for the National Court to investigate "why action was not taken" in advance, referring to reports from the CNI that warned that "that invasion was being ordered, was occurring, and that there was a maximum risk of it existing."
"All those things we will know when we reach the Government," the popular leader has advanced, reiterating to Morocco that it will have a "loyal" neighbor but with a "firm" Executive.
PP's migration model
Regarding his party's migration proposal, Feijóo has insisted that immigration "is necessary" against the "lack of control," which he considers "unsustainable." In his view, "an immigrant with a work contract, who is working in Spain and contributing, we need. However, an immigrant who enters irregularly, who does not contribute, but lives off benefits and also commits crimes, evidently that immigrant cannot and does not want to coexist with us. Well, they will not coexist, they will be expelled."
In this context, he has claimed the figure of the mayor of Badalona, Xavier García Albiol, as the head of the list for Barcelona on November 29, highlighting that regular immigration is essential to cover trades such as bricklayers or plumbers, at a time when new housing needs to be built.
Feijóo has rejected "mass regularizations without conditions" of immigrants that, in his opinion, have been promoted by Sánchez's Government during this legislature, considering that they have generated a "pull effect" in Spain, "which has been denounced by 22 prime ministers from 22 countries of the European Union."
In this line, he has denounced that the regularization of more than 1.3 million migrants "is harming all of Europe" and has linked it as one of the causes of the "invasion" of Ceuta. Furthermore, he has accused the Executive of "giving away" more than 2.4 million passports as part of an "electoral engineering" that benefits Sánchez. "If he doesn't have enough voters in Spain because the polls don't give him, then let's manufacture other voters to see if that works for me," he concluded.
