Former government president Felipe González attended the “El Hormiguero” program this evening, where he said he felt “orphaned” by a country project, which he says he does not identify in the current government. With a copy of the constitution from the beginning of his interview with Pablo Motos, the former socialist leader said this Salvador Illa's victory in Catalonia It is “one of the joys of the year”, although with the “question” whether it would have received more votes if no agreement had been reached on the amnesty law, which it has clearly positioned itself against.
Former President González has assured that “this atmosphere of processism in Catalonia has diminished with the triumph of Salvador Illa,” then added: “what he has done is to transmit processism to the rest of Spain.” Asked by host Pablo Motos, Felipe González agreed that people are “bored” with politicians and said that politics is now “not done with data, but with aggression.” At the time, he questioned the fact that “fingers were being pointed” at journalists.
González has stressed the need to “support” Salvador Illa, who he has said has “the style of coexistence that citizens deserve”, that he engages in dialogue “with everyone” and that he cares about “the problems' of citizenship. . He has also insisted that he trusts that “nothing will be negotiated with Puigdemont or Aragonès” without going through Illa. Immediately afterward, he began harshly criticizing his colleague José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero: “the worst period of the PSC was the Zapatero legacy,” which he described as “terrifying.” As for Zapatero, he has wondered if “it doesn't represent what we are now?” or if “we will never win with a majority again.”
Felipe González has also had time to qualify Javier Milei's attitude last weekend in an act of “rude” far-right, but he has said that, compared to the attitude of Pedro Sánchez, he preferred that of Pope Francis, who showed indifference to the criticism he received from the current president of Argentina, who described him as “satanic.” “I am offended by disqualifications of this nature,” said González, adding that he believes our diplomacy “is at the service of the citizens.” The former president of the government has also said that “of course we can afford it” a diplomatic conflict with Argentinaalthough he added that “what it costs the Spanish people is something else.”
