He predicts a victory in municipal elections, hopes that 28M will be “a touch” for Sánchez and only sees pacts with the PSOE when their leader has fallen
MADRID, 9 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The general secretary of the PP, Cuca Gamarra, is clear that her party faces the electoral appointments of the year with the idea of ??”governing alone” and that her objective is not to share government with Vox, with which, according to her, there are lines that “distance enormously.” From the outset, he sees the call on May 28 as a “great opportunity” to “give a wake-up call” to Pedro Sánchez, he predicts a victory for the PP in the municipal elections and believes that only when the PSOE leader falls will they be able to recover the pacts between the big parties.
In an interview with Europa Press, Cuca Gamarra explains that the PP is presenting itself to the local elections saying “clearly” to the Spaniards that they want to “govern alone”, since she considers that, after the “disastrous experience” of the PSOE coalition Executive and Podemos, the monocolor governments are “the most stable” and the Spanish miss them.
He admits that, after the vote of no confidence by Vox and Ramón Tamames, the PSOE experienced “one-time growth”, but they had already warned that this vote would only reinforce Pedro Sánchez: “A Frankenstein government like Sánchez’s is immune to motions of no confidence because his partners are the first interested in him continuing to lead, no one will give them in less time what Pedro Sánchez is giving to ERC and Bildu – he maintains – Therefore, motions of no confidence with a Frankenstein government are absolutely useless and what I was going to get is oxygen for Pedro Sánchez, although for a short time because the next day we were already in real Spain”.
In his opinion, there is “another way of governing”, which is the one represented by Alberto Núñez Feijóo, who has already governed and revalidated absolute majorities. “We are a party that has our own path and what we say to the Spanish is that on this path, if they want, we can meet, that we do not have to be in the daily fight, in the daily noise and that we can do things another way,” he adds.
Of course, his objective is not to share the Government with Vox, with whom he sees “lines that distance them greatly.” Gamarra avoids making comparisons between Vox and Podemos, and what he does reject is that those who are governing with independentistas and “launder” Bildu dedicate themselves to “giving lessons” and “handing out democrat cards.”
“Our objective is to form a broad majority where all of us Spaniards who are fed up and exhausted with the Government of Pedro Sánchez as president fit. We can turn the page and start a new political cycle,” he adds, underlining the idea of ??a monocolor Executive in which Núñez Feijóo has “decision-making capacity over his own government.”
Regarding relations between the two major parties, Gamarra defends the need for “communication and dialogue” and State pacts on issues such as Foreign and Defense Policy, pensions or the fight against gender violence, but considers that this It will not happen as long as Pedro Sánchez continues as president, who in his opinion “understands politics as blocks and confrontation.”
“What is clear is that not with Pedro Sánchez, but when the Sanchismo stage is closed, the PSOE will be able to recover its identity and become part of the State agreements that are needed and that President Feijóo wants to return to. boost.
With a view to the local elections on May 28, the PP leader says that they are “a great opportunity to give Pedro Sánchez the first call to attention so that he knows that his countdown has begun.”
“The Spaniards have put this government on the path of discount time for a long time, its degradation has no remedy no matter how much fireworks Pedro Sánchez tries to pull out of a hat,” he says. “That countdown has started a long time ago It’s been a long time and you would do well to call an election now so that we can turn the page as soon as possible and render at least one service to your country before the people continue to suffer.”
A priori, he believes that “everything is very open” in that electoral event, but he considers that the coalition governments led by the PSOE “are not working” because “they replicate the vices of Sanchismo” and what he does predict “without a doubt “is that the PP is going to be the party with the most votes in the municipal elections, turning around the victory that the PSOE achieved in 2019.
And he once again insists on the idea of ??allowing the party with the most votes in the regional elections to govern: “We have already raised it with the PSOE and, if they want, we are willing to accept it and assume it.” “Feijóo himself threw the gauntlet at Sánchez so that in general the party that wins would govern, but there was no response. It seems that he is not clear about anything or is too clear about who is going to win the next elections,” he comments.
For the local election campaign, the ‘number two’ of the PP is committed to multilateral debates rather than ‘face to face’ ones, as she believes that, due to transparency, Spaniards should be able to know the approaches of each party with parliamentary representation. “I think it is good that the political forces with representation in the different parliaments participate,” she says.
In addition, in the interview with Europa Press, Gamarra assumes that former presidents Jose María Aznar and Mariano Rajoy are going to participate “with total normality” in the PP campaign, supporting “many candidates.” “That is very good – he underlines -. The PP is a united party that offers a solid alternative in which, without a doubt, our history is one of our fundamental elements and the former presidents are part of that heritage”.
