The leader of the PP demands Sánchez call elections and announces he will approve a housing plan in the first month if he reaches La Moncloa. He criticises the decrees rejected in Congress and advocates for construction.
The president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, demanded on Saturday that Pedro Sánchez call elections and stated that Spain has "the right to decide now". He made this statement during the final conference of the Foro La Toja, a day after Congress rejected two government decrees on housing, as reported by cronista.com.
Feijóo focused his speech on housing, which he described as "the symbol of Sánchez's failure". He promised that if he reaches La Moncloa, he will approve a housing plan during the first month of his Government. According to him, this plan will first be submitted to social agents, political parties, and the sector, and will incorporate any objections presented.
"There is only one way out, for citizens to speak up as soon as possible. President Sánchez should not hesitate any longer to call the Spanish to the polls. He should do it. Spain has the right to decide now"
The popular leader assured that his request does not stem from "revenge", but because the country "can no longer endure". He also criticised the government's strategy following the rejection of the housing decrees and accused Sánchez of trying to keep "the street tense", dividing citizens and "fomenting chaos".
Feijóo defended that the housing problem can only be solved through construction. In his view, the decrees rejected by Congress were "a political maneuver". Against what he defined as Sánchez's "populist" model, he contrasted a "reformist" model focused on rebuilding the economy and attending to citizens.
The PP leader questioned how the Government can govern without new budgets and through decrees. In this regard, he promised to seek a legal formula that would force the dissolution of the Cortes if, after a first budget extension, new state accounts are not approved.
During his speech, Feijóo also referred to the situation in Ceuta and stated that "no electoral maneuver will make us forget that part of Spain remains occupied more than two months later".
