The President of the PP and candidate for the Presidency of the Government, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, together with the top official of NNGG, Ignacio Dancausa, have shown this Friday their support for the two young PP militants assaulted in Barakaldo (Vizcaya) during the general strike day, stressing that “never” are they going to “silence” or “shut them up.”
At a meeting with young people held in the Madrid neighborhood of Tetuán, in which the President of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, also participated, Feijóo highlighted the attitude of Miguel and Daniel, “Barakaldo’s fellows who had their faces broken, literally, just for being in a headquarters of the Partido Popular.” “We’re going to be with you always,” he said, addressing the two affiliates, who were at the event.
Next, the PP leader launched a direct message to the authors of the assault: “They never silenced us, they’re never going to silence us, and we’re going to beat them at the polls.” In addition, he stressed that they “will never” have the nerve “of any affiliate of the Partido Popular of the Basque Country.”
Dancausa demands “zero tolerance” in the face of the attacks
Along the same lines, Dancausa spoke about his “courageous fellows” from the Basque Country. “If anyone thought that by putting on a hood and surrounding us among several people they were going to silence us, it’s because they have not the slightest idea of what we are living through,” he said.
Immediately afterward, he defended a message of “zero tolerance and a firm hand against the criminals who sow hate in the streets.” “In Feijóo’s Spain, the one who does it, pays,” he emphasized, before adding that, if the PP reaches La Moncloa, they will work to recover “unity, concord, and bring down Sánchez’s wall.”
The PP of Vizcaya had denounced on Wednesday the assault suffered by these two affiliates. As the party explained, the events took place at around 18.00 hours, when a group of hooded people threw an electric water heater at the glass facade of the PP headquarters, causing it to break.
When the two young men went outside to check what had happened, the attackers hit them on several occasions and shouted at them, calling them, among other insults, “fascists.” The Ertzaintza went immediately to the scene and both filed the corresponding complaint.
