The president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, attacked the “great farce that the government has become, starting with the degeneration of Moncloa,” in a thinly veiled allusion to the investigation into Begoña Gómez, Pedro Sánchez's wife. The popular leader was accompanied by the President of the European Commission – and candidate for re-election – Ursula von der Leyen, to whom he declared that Europe is “our safety net” and “it must be so more than ever before the party in government from Spain.”
Feijóo and Von der Leyen spoke before the more than 4,000 people gathered for the PP of A Coruña pilgrimage in the town of O Pino, an event that also served to celebrate, three months later, Alfonso Rueda's first absolute majority in Galicia. “the next president of the government,” as the rest of the speakers called him, defined the amnesty law as “the greatest aggression that the rule of law has suffered in 46 years of democracy.” “Unprecedented damage” due to “one man's ambition.” “That is why we tell you that we do not agree with it and that we are going to fix it with justice, with Europe and by voting on June 9.”
“We are not Sánchez” and therefore the message he wants the polls to send to the PSOE is “that there can be no freedom without dignity.” “First, that no one is greater than anyone else; Secondly, we are all equal before the law, the general budgets of the state, the judiciary and the government.'
With the approval of the amnesty, for Feijóo, “the vast majority of Spanish citizens have been reduced to a second-class category, facing a new elite of politicians who gain power at the cost of erasing the crimes of the politicians who put them in power. them.”
