The secretary of Organization of the PSOE, Rebeca Torró, has stated that the Executive has already offered "the pertinent explanations" and that it is "focused on returning to normality in Ceuta," while acknowledging that she "misses" the opposition and the autonomous governments of the PP "helping in what is important." As she emphasized, the PP and Vox are concerned about "controlling the narrative," while the PSOE is occupied with "solving and helping the people."
Torró intervened this Saturday at the Burdin Jaia of Abanto Zierbena (Bizkaia), a celebration that recalls the mining past of the municipality, accompanied by the general secretary of the PSE-EE, Eneko Andueza, and other socialist officials.
During this visit, which she has defined as the "cradle" of the labor movement, the PSOE leader highlighted the relevance of the elections next year, in which, she warned, the citizens "are going to choose between continuing to advance, continuing to conquer rights and consolidating rights or regression."
Referring to the situation in Ceuta after the massive arrival of migrants last July, she reiterated that "the Government has given the pertinent explanations and is now focused on what really matters, which is returning to normality in Ceuta."
She emphasized that "the entire Government has been focused on that from minute zero" and stressed that it is also "what everyone should be focused on." In this line, she stated that she has "missed a lot that the opposition, and especially those autonomous governments where the Popular Party has responsibility, helped in what is really important, which is Ceuta."
The socialist leader indicated that the Executive remains "focused" on channeling the situation "always complying with the law, beyond the demonstrations that border on illegality by the Popular Party and by the far-right."
She also emphasized that the Government is "worried about returning normality" to Ceuta, "always keeping in mind that we are talking about people."
In her words, "what matters to us is to solve and help the people," while, as was already "seen in the dana" in Valencia, "the Popular Party and Vox are about controlling the narrative."
Elections and rights at stake
In relation to the elections next year, in which the PSOE keeps the primary process open to choose its heads of list, Rebeca Torró has emphasized that "these are not ordinary elections where sometimes there is alternation," but rather "here there is an alternative that is eliminating rights and therefore we all know that the rights won are not forever."
She has recalled that, when Pedro Sánchez assumed the Presidency of the Government, he found "unemployment, minimum interprofessional wage and frozen pensions, social conflict and international irrelevance" and that now in Spain "there are 23 million people affiliated with Social Security, the minimum interprofessional wage and pensions keep growing, there is coexistence and above all there is also a great international recognition for the defense of human rights."
She has also highlighted the "magnificent letter of presentation" that, in her opinion, represents the management of the socialists in Euskadi from the Basque institutions, "focused on what really matters to the citizens, such as housing, employment, economic development."
"Citizens are facing in 2027 a very important decision. And above all because we are seeing it now in what the Popular Party and Vox represent, that ultra right and that far right," she has warned.
Criticism of the 'Grandchildren's Law'
In this context, she has referred to the so-called 'Grandchildren's Law', reproaching that "they charged at the time against the exiles" and now "against their children and against their grandchildren" in an area "as sacred in democracy as trying to prevent them from voting."
