The president of the PP and candidate for the Presidency of the Government, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, together with the top official of Nuevas Generaciones, Ignacio Dancausa, showed this Friday all their support for the two young PP members who were attacked in Baracaldo (Vizcaya) on the day of the general strike, emphasizing that they will "never" "shut" them up or "silence" them.
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 praised the attitude of Miguel and Daniel, "Baracaldo companions to whom they literally smashed their faces, simply for being at a Partido Popular headquarters." "We’re going to be with you always," he said, addressing the two PP militants, who were attending the event.
Next, Feijóo sent a direct message to the authors of the attack: "They never shut us up, they’re never going to shut us up, and we’re going to beat them at the ballot boxes." He also stressed that "they will never have the courage of any member of the Partido Popular in the Basque Country."
Dancausa calls for "zero tolerance" against the aggressors
Along the same lines, Dancausa spoke of his "brave companions" from the Basque Country. "If anyone thought that by putting on a hood and surrounding us among several of them they were going to silence us, it’s because they have no bloody idea what we are living through," he said.
Then he demanded a policy of "zero tolerance and a firm hand against the criminals who sow hatred in the streets." "In Feijóo’s Spain, the one who does it pays," he stressed, before insisting that if the PP reaches Moncloa, they will propose "unity, concord, and to bring down Sánchez’s wall."
The PP of Vizcaya had denounced the attack suffered by these two members on Wednesday. As the party explained, the events took place around 6:00 p.m., 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 aggressors hit them with several blows and insults, calling them, among other things, "fascists." The Ertzaintza went to the scene immediately and both filed the corresponding complaint for the assault.
