The president of the PP and of the Junta of Castilla y León, Alfonso Fernández Mañueco, has presented the PP candidate for the Presidency of the Government, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, as the "solution for the future" so that "Spain will start working again" after what he has described as the "disastrous management" of Pedro Sánchez.
During a campaign rally in El Espinar (Segovia), Fernández Mañueco emphasized that this election event is "one of the most decisive of recent years", a "crucial moment" in which the future of the country is at stake and, in his view, there is a real possibility of promoting a "necessary change".
"We have to put an end to a disastrous government, the worst government of democracy, which has an infamous record of service and daily scandals," he said, to position Feijóo as the alternative capable of offering Spain an Executive that provides "security": "Feijóo will give confidence; he knows what course the government of our country has to take so that Spain starts working again."
Along this line, he specified that "that Spain starts working again" involves strengthening railway security, making it easier for young people to access housing, guaranteeing quality education, and ensuring effective healthcare "without doctors' strikes" that, he has argued, are the consequence of the actions of an "incompetent and useless" Health minister, in reference to Mónica García.
He also indicated that "that Spain starts working again" implies defending the Common Agricultural Policy, supporting farmers and ranchers in the modernization of their holdings and in their ability to compete on equal terms, as well as applying tax cuts to ease the burden on families in the face of the rising cost of living.
Fernández Mañueco therefore called for a political change after eight years of "poor management" by Sánchez and pointed to Óscar Puente and Ana Redondo, whom he described as the representatives of Castilla y León in the Government of Spain, as "the best example" of that "disastrous management". He recalled that both continue to head the PSOE list for Valladolid and mentioned the failures in the anti-domestic-violence bracelets and railway accidents as consequences of that "poor management".
As for the province of Segovia, the Popular Party leader has censured the action of Sánchez’s Executive on issues such as the crossing through San Rafael, the Tejo dam, and the tolls—matters he has used to question what the PSOE really offers the city and the entire province.
For all of this, he has called on PP members to drive the “change” in order to “recover good management” with Feijóo at the helm: “Now we have to show our drive and we have to be very clear that nothing has been done here.”
“The only poll that matters is the one from November 29, when the ballot boxes open,” he has stressed, also warning that these elections will serve to “set the groundwork for continuing to win in municipal elections.” “Just as Spain needs Feijóo as president of the Government, in each of your town councils you need men and women from the PP in government,” he concluded.
