The pact between the Popular Party and Vox in Extremadura, after the long negotiations to agree on it, has caused tension in the opposition this Friday. One of the socialists who has been most critical of this government formula established between popular and ultras in that community is the former president of the Executive José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero.
“The PP has repealed itself”
“Between the labor reform and Extremadura, the PP has repealed itself.” This was expressed by the former leader of the PSOE during an interview in ‘Espejo Público’, where in addition to reprimanding those of Feijóo, he appreciated the work of Pedro Sánchez at the head of the Government, saying that his formation has been the one that has achieved greater stability in the labor sector with a labor reform, in addition to praising the increase in the interprofessional minimum wage and progressive laws. “All pre-pandemic employment has been recovered and 1,300,000 more jobs have been created in 17 months,” he says.
The pacts with Bildu
Another of the issues that Zapatero revalidated during the interview with Griso was his party’s pacts with EH Bildu, who need their support for María Chivite to govern Navarra. The socialist maintains that his formation has coincided on numerous occasions with these as he is doing after the popular and voxist 28M. “Agreeing is what PP and Vox are doing now. The PSOE with Podemos has indeed agreed to a coalition government,” he points out.
Zapatero’s culture minister asks for the vote for Feijóo on 23J
Despite these positive qualifications towards the government of Pedro Sánchez, in parallel there were statements by a position of the Executive of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, somewhat provocative towards the very left of the country. César Antonio Molina, the Minister of Culture between 2007 and 2009, has placed his trust in Alberto Núñez Feijóo, the leader of the PP, asking him to mobilize voters to cast their ballots at the polls on the next 23J.
The former minister has described Feijóo as a “sensible, capable, loyal, patient, clear and reliable” man. Molina asks the Spaniards to choose the PP for a new legislature “so that the ghosts on one side and the other have no choice.”
Zapatero says about Sánchez that “he has not broken his word”
It is easy to observe this change of opinion in this socialist politician, a phenomenon that Zapatero also questioned this Friday about Sánchez, of whom he says that “I do not remember a president going to an interview and being asked why he has lied to us so much”. “He has not broken his word, he has changed his mind 2 or 3 times. Normally when a president changes his mind it is because he comes to the absolute conviction that the result of that change will be positive, like the pardons that have produced calm in Catalonia. “, has said.
