The Government is convinced that the latest movements on the left are not going to harm the electoral results of the coalition parties but, on the contrary, are going to mobilize “progressive people” in the next electoral cycle. “The actions of this government and of all formations are going to bring about a significant mobilization of progressive people,” said the minister spokesperson, Isabel Rodríguez, who maintains that the “concern” is in the Popular Party.

“I think the nerves are not on this side but on the other,” said the spokeswoman at the press conference after the Council of Ministers, in which she argued that if not, it is not understood that the main opposition party is questioning “fully objective and positive” employment data. “What happens so that everything good is bad for them?”, She has asked herself.
Rodríguez has valued the measures and policies adopted by the coalition government in recent years. “We have been able to agree and forge great agreements, not only with the Government but with a large majority of the parliamentary arch”, defended the minister, who has shown her “maximum respect” to all the political formations that are in the Government . “I think that the opposition does not find much profit in this matter because if not, the nervousness of the opposition is not understood”, she has said again.
In Moncloa they are based on that angry reaction of the Popular Party these days to the Executive’s measures to maintain that they are receiving bad signals from the polls. This same Monday, the leader of the opposition has said that he does not understand “very well the triumphalism of the Government”, because, he has pointed out, in this first quarter of the year there are more unemployed, specifically 25,000 more, than in the last quarter of 2022. Feijóo In addition, it has once again put the focus on the “double accounting” on discontinuous fixed, which is not such because employment data is counted the same now as in previous legislatures.
“The concern is not with us, it is with the main opposition party. If not, the reaction of the PP to these fully objective, positive data on employment is not understood ”, Rodríguez insisted. “[El líder del PP] has come to question the work of Airef. Where are the nerves and the electoral concern? Why is it that Feijóo comes out to question Airef when Airef has shown that there was no question with the statistics? I think the nerves are not on this side but on the other side ”, he considered.
The spokeswoman did not want to enter into the divisions exhibited between Podemos and the Vice President of the Government, Yolanda Díaz, and has insisted that the approved measures such as the pension agreement, the last disbursement of European funds, the reduction in inflation or the data of the strike are “facts that confirm the proper functioning of the coalition.”
In the Government, they therefore believe that this is going to begin to be reflected in the electoral data and that the latest movements to the left of the PSOE, with the launch of Sumar and the candidacy of Díaz, are going to revert to a “mobilization” of the progressive electorate that could be disconnected.
