The leader of the PP has condemned for the first time in public the altercations that starred the neighbors of Paiporta this Sunday against the president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, the president of the Generalitat Valenciana, Carlos Mazón, and the kings of Spain, Felipe and Letizia, to whom they threw insults, mud and even a stick that hit the socialist leader. “We reject expressions of violence, whoever they are against,” said Alberto Núñez Feijóo at the national headquarters of the PP, where he read an institutional statement on the occasion of the tragedy of the DANA, which has so far claimed two hundred lives and has left countless missing. However, he has shown himself “understandable” with the indignation of the most affected and “real victims” and, unlike Sanchez who this Sunday associated the protests with ultra-right groups, Feijóo defends that the indignation of the citizens “is not marginal or disguised”. For the popular is the time to leave the “partisanship” to be “all as one”.
Feijóo has vindicated the attitude of the kings, who stayed to listen to the complaints of the neighbors despite the high tension even though Sánchez did leave the area “for security”, as they explained later in Moncloa. “The kings have been up to the circumstances. A Head of State without executive responsibility, who has known how to be where there is pain, putting all his means at his disposal from the first day, without anyone having to ask for them, doing what his conscience dictated and with the only aim of serving the Spanish people before serving himself”, said the popular leader, who then turned to his political adversary. “It is up to all politicians to be up to the task and to do so. there is no excuse or justification for the mistakes of the adversary”.
With this, Feijóo has called for a political ceasefire in favor of the people. For his part, has promised not to fall “into new criticisms of the Government”, since last Thursday reproached Sánchez for the “solitude and limitations” of the regional presidents. In this sense, he has made a reflection on the role of politicians six days after the beginning of the cold drop. “Nobody should expect us to participate in any partisan narrative that singles out citizens for telling the truth. Enough of this narrative with the reality that we are suffering. Nor let us enter into yet another partisan contest in which we once again divert the focus from what really matters at this moment. It is not the PSOE, it is not the PP, it is not the rest of the political parties, it is not the Government of Spain or the Generalitat, it is not the President of the Government or the Generalitat and, of course, it is not me. It is the Spanish people. It is our Valencian compatriots”.
