It is about Sánchez or Feijóo. That is the decision that the Spanish will take on July 23, according to the President of the Government. The electoral campaign does not take a break, but this Thursday the scene has changed. The two candidates to win the elections have gone to Brussels, each with their own agenda.
The President of the Government participates in his last summit before assuming “with ambition and gratitude” the rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union. Before meeting with the rest of the leaders of the club of 27, he congratulated himself on the inflation data and insisted that the economy “is going like a motorcycle”. In addition, he has warned against Feijóo’s intention to repeal the measures adopted by his government. For Sánchez, that would slow down the good progress of the economy.
Sánchez later entered the room where the European councils are held. There were many gazes focused on him. The President of the European Council, Charles Michel, has reminded him that he will see him in Madrid on Sunday. The head of the European executive, Úrsula von der Leyen, has also reminded him that he will visit the Spanish capital next Monday. At that time, the Swedish prime minister has greeted whom he has called “successor”. Sweden holds the rotating presidency until this Friday. During the meeting, Sánchez planned to convey to the rest of the leaders “Spain’s commitment” to the EU, “because European policy is a State policy.”
A policy from which the opposition leader feels excluded. The leader of the PP, also in Brussels, has regretted that he has not received “not a single call from the Prime Minister” about his objectives for the Spanish presidency.
Feijoo has met with the European Popular Party, to which the president of the Commission belongs. He has shown good harmony with Von der Leyen. He has told him that he already has a group of advisers, made up of former ministers with extensive European experience, in case he wins the elections and it is his turn to assume the presidency on duty. In addition, he has shown himself willing to maintain the labor reform, although his party, in the Casado era, voted against its approval. Feijóo has assured that “this labor reform is very important” because it has been agreed with the unions and employers. He wants to listen to the social agents to make some adjustment in the norm.
