The president of the PP and candidate for the Presidency of the Government, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has demanded this Tuesday an “opportunity” of four years to govern and be able to “turn Spain completely around” with his electoral program, which he has presented as “the cure with which to heal a wounded Spain.”
“I formally request an opportunity to govern this country in a different way,” Feijóo requested at the act of presenting the PP’s electoral program to the general elections, in an event in which he was accompanied by the party’s Vice-Secretary for Sectoral Coordination, Alma Ezcurra. He has underscored that he does not intend a blank check, but “yes a check with a number”: “four years to fully turn the country around.” After that period, he has stressed, citizens will be able to judge whether he has met or not his commitments.
“My aspiration is not for anyone to consider me the fucking boss”
“I also do not expect blind trust, either from the whole of the Spanish people, or from my collaborators. My aspiration is not for anyone to consider me the fucking boss. I want to be the first servant of this country,” he has proclaimed.
The PP leader has emphasized that he intends to govern “exactly the other way around” from how, in his view, Pedro Sánchez has done it over these last eight years, and he has again presented his program as “the cure with which to heal a wounded Spain” and the path to rebuild the country.
Feijóo has reiterated that he wants the Spanish people “to judge me within four years,” so that they can value whether he has met it or not. It is, he has indicated, so that citizens “verify at the end of the legislature, point by point,” whether the PP has kept its word and what it has included in its electoral program.
Four pillars for his proposal of government
In his address, he has defended that power “has to respect the nation and the people again.” “And for that reason I say that I will not take refuge in the legacy received. Of course I will explain it, and I will explain it in all detail and with all clarity and for as much time as is necessary, but it will not be an excuse for not complying from day one,” he has promised.
He has advanced that, from day one, he will assume responsibility “for whatever I do” and that his governing action will be structured around four great pillars that summarize his project: a national reconstruction to recover the State, regenerate democracy, unite the nation, and return to Spain its ambition and self-esteem.
