The number two of the PSdeG, José Manuel Lagereproached today Saturday Alfonso Ruedapresident of the PPdeG and the Xunta, who has 59.5% of the EU funds “transferred by the Government of Spain” unexecuted while he himself dedicates himself to “demonstrations and revelry” instead of focusing on presiding over Galicia.

The number two of the PSdeG criticized Rueda for acting as “a puppet in the hands of Feijoo and Ayuso», assuming its «crisis strategy», and that its Government is dedicated to «viaxing Genoa [Italia] to promote Mediterranean cruises when people are having a really bad time”, instead of focusing on the execution of the aforementioned funds.

Lage considered that the investiture of Pedro Sánchez is “good news” for the community, and affirmed that there is a “drive for change” in Galician society led by José Ramón Gómez Besteirothe socialist candidate for the Xunta.

The electoral data

The Secretary of Organization of the Galician socialists affirmed that this trend, supported by the “information and data” available to his party, which concludes that “the PP has now lost the absolute majority,” explains Rueda’s “doubts” to call the elections, his “nervousness” and also his “constant absence of two problems in the country.”

Meanwhile, yesterday, the PSdeG has embarked on an «open scouting process» that will culminate in the party’s National Convention, which will be celebrated on the 16th and 17th of December. The aforementioned process will serve to build a PSdeG «open to society» that will incorporate into «civic Galicianism» «people without a partisan structure who want to change our country».

The objective of the socialists, he explained, is “to offer a progressive political project that puts an end to the resignation of the PP.” Lage described the Galician Government as “sad” and “more concerned with what is happening in Madrid” than with solving the problems of the Galicians.

Along these lines, the number two of the PSdeG invited Rueda to “put an end to the agony” of the Galician Government, trapped in the “epilogue of the end of the cycle of an exhausted PP”, with the call for regional elections.
