Feijóo and Sánchez, leaders of the PP and PSOE and candidates for the Presidency of the Government in the next general elections on July 23, are measured in a “face to face” debate, the first and only one before the elections. The leaders have discussed topics of interest such as the economy, pensions or social aspects.

Upon arrival, both appeared before the media. The popular leader predicted that the debate “was going to be interesting”, while the current President of the Government explained that “the debate was a face to face between advancing or going backwards”.

The reactions have been arriving throughout the debate due to the statements that both leaders were having, both from their own parties and from the rest of the political groups. For example, Yolanda Díaz, candidate for the elections and leader of Sumar, explained that “Politics is more than two men exchanging zascas.” “Sadly today in the face to face of Atresmedia there are many problems that nobody will address,” she added.

For his part, the ERC leader, Gabriel Rufíán, underestimated the debate and asked that “for this, next time you invite Esquerra and Bildu.” Meanwhile, Alejandra Jacinto, who was a United Podemos candidate for the Madrid Assembly, said that “the debate, at least, can help those who thought they longed for bipartisanship to get over their nostalgia.”

Likewise, the leader of Vox, Santiago Abascal, was widely mentioned throughout the debate despite his absence, especially by the socialist leader. Abascal, in his account, showed his dissatisfaction with the “worrying” seen during the debate. “I think that we Spaniards have already seen enough in this debate. It is worrying. La Moncloa has been occupied by a narcissistic, aggressive and disturbed character for 5 years.” The Vox leader added that “Mr. Feijóo has just offered this dangerous character an abstention so that he can continue to govern.” “Mr. Feijóo offers Sánchez a pact to avoid a pact with VOX,” he says.

For his part, the leader of the PNV, Aitor Esteban, although he did not write, did retweet a tweet from his party’s account in which he said “Clearer than ever”, with his image in the center and those of Sánchez and Feijóo at the sides.
