The Deputy Secretary of Sectoral Coordination of the PP, Alma Ezcurra, took advantage of this Monday, National Day, to emphasize that the day serves for citizens to value what they share, their "history, culture, and way of living together," and, at the same time, to claim that "there is no better way to love Spain than to give it a Government that is up to the Spaniards."
In a video disseminated to the media on the occasion of October 12, the popular spokesperson stated that the street has already made it clear "that it cannot stand this president of the Government" —Pedro Sánchez was received at the parade with insults and boos—, but warned that "venting" is of little use if people do not go to the polls or if each person, from their position, does not get involved in changing this Executive and "putting an honest president at the head of the nation."
"That is why, this October 12 we celebrate what unites us and on the next November 29 it is in our hands that no one divides us again," Ezcurra reiterated, linking the commemoration of National Day with the electoral date.
The person in charge of the PP also wanted to dedicate this day to pay tribute to "those who work, those who take risks to create jobs, those who care, those who serve Spain from the Armed Forces and from so many public services, the one who supports a family, the one who does not resign when things get tough and the one who knows that nothing has been given for free and knows the value of sacrifice." "All under one flag. All with one anthem. Because we are all one nation," she emphasized.
According to the PP, this October 12 should serve to remind that "no Government, no party, and no political moment is above a nation that has been overcoming difficulties for centuries and that has always known how to rise again."
"We may be tired, we may be angry and we have reasons to express that anger, but a country does not change only by expressing its indignation. A country changes when its citizens decide to take responsibility for their future and on the next November 29 we have the opportunity to do so," the popular spokesperson insisted, calling to transform discontent into political participation.
In the final part of his message, Ezcurra emphasized that the Spaniards deserve "coexistence, exemplarity, and hope," as well as institutions "up to" the citizenship and, above all, that the daily effort of millions of people "is worth it." "We need a national reconstruction," he concluded.
