Once again a bitter exchange of accusations between the opposition leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, and the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez. The first, has taken advantage of the control session in the Senate to thread a whole list of reproaches to the head of the Executive and the second, also again, has replied with the rosary of measures adopted by his cabinet for the "benefit of the Spaniards" and not from an "elitist minority" as, in his opinion, the PP "always" does. Sánchez, in addition, has used part of his time to warn the leader of the popular of possible betrayals from his own party: "When he gets up, take care of his back."
Feijóo has opened his intervention in the Upper House stating that "Spain is tired" of the Government and of Pedro Sánchez because "it generates problems every day" with continuous clashes between the ministers and between the socialist and purple parliamentary spokesmen. And he has added that in the face of the continuous scuffles, the president is "silent" because he "only presides over half the government." "The other medium", he has said, "rules you".
El popular has brought up once again the "botch of the law of only yes is yes" and the consequences, in his pernicious opinion, that are looming for the Trans Law, definitively approved in Congress last week. "You", he snapped, "he prefers to protect his government rather than the Spanish".
Sánchez has replied by insisting that a stable Executive such as the one Feijóo claims is one that, like his, approves three Budgets in due time and form and carries out 200 laws with different parliamentary groups, or the one that holds fifteen conferences of presidents during the pandemic or approves a million-dollar allocation for scholarships, as the Council of Ministers has done today.
Later, he has defended himself against the fiasco of the only yes is yes law, admitting that his government "makes mistakes" but, he has affirmed: "we are determined to correct them." On the contrary, according to Sánchez, the PP "never fails: it always benefits the elitist minority."
Sánchez's strategy, consisting of dodging questions and spending his time reproaching his political adversary, has served Feijóo to thank "for the interesting training" that being the object of opposition by the president entails. Later, he has affirmed that "the street cannot be bought with a checkbook" because, he has added, "all that you now presume to invest is money that you owe."
The popular has not given in to discouragement and has once again urged the president to rule on the Trans Law and its possible adverse effects on minors and women. "Do you agree with this or are you paying a toll to stay in La Moncloa for a while longer?" Feijóo asked, influencing the deep discrepancies that have been revealed within the Government itself, between the PSOE and its partners and within the feminist movement itself.
In Feijóo's opinion, it is very possible that the Trans Law has worse consequences than the law of only yes is yes and he has urged Sánchez to "stop bothering good people and interfere in the lives of others."
In his response, the President of the Government has assured "never having imagined" that recognizing the rights of the trans collective would be annoying "good people" and then, in a discursive pirouette, has warned the leader of the PP of possible betrayals in the within his party, tacitly alluding to the political ouster of Pablo Casado a year ago. In this sense, he has advised Feijóo that when he gets up he "take care to be sure that he does not feel anything behind him."
