Alberto Nunez Feijóo He showed again this Thursday that he regrets having launched the bells on the fly. Last Saturday he assured that the PP could reach 168 seats and reach the absolute majority with the support of the PNV and some other small parliamentary group. This Thursday afternoon, on the banks of the Manzanares river in Madrid, at a rally with Isabel Díaz Ayuso and José Luis Martínez Almeida, a much wiser and he even went so far as to talk about the possibility that Pedro Sánchez manages to build a parliamentary majority that allows him to continue in Moncloa. “Now there is not a single vote in the ballot box. Even if we believe that they do not deserve to continue [en el Gobierno] Either we vote on Sunday or they will continue. Even if we know they are going to lose, we either destroy them or after losing they will try to rule,” he said.
The leader of the PP, first in all the polls but in need of Vox, has tried to get Pedro Sanchez promises to let govern the one who heads the list with the most votes at the polls, something that the socialist leader has ruled out. He spanish system, Sanchez argues, is not presidential but parliamentary and the majorities that put or remove presidents are those that are formed in the Congress of Deputies.
Second most voted lists
In other electoral acts these days, Feijóo has come to say that it has not happened in “any country” in the European environment that the second most voted party can forge an alliance to prevail over the winner of the elections. A simple look at the last three years allows us to see what happened in the elections of Ireland in 2020 (the leftist Sinn Féin won but, after four months of negotiations, the Christian democrat Fine Gael and the centrist Fianna Fáil are governing alternately) and in Belgium that same year (the New Flemish Alliance won, but the Executive is made up of a coalition of seven parties).

Despite the strain on the back that Feijóo suffered on Tuesday, this Thursday the conservative leader fulfilled all the commitments he had made and offered two rallies (in Valencia and Madrid) and four interviews with the media. There are 48 hours left and the leader of the PP the presidency of the Government is being played. He can’t loosen up, despite the pain.

In the party, some leaders admit in private that they do not quite understand the reaction that the Galician politician has had to questions about his relationship with the drug trafficker Marcial Dorado, with whom he shared trips and vacations in the late 1990s. Feijóo assured again on Wednesday that when they were friends he did not know he was a drug trafficker. “At that time [Dorado] I had no charge for it. Now it’s easier to know things because there’s internet, there’s Google…”, declared in the Sixth. “Either you don’t say anything about him or you don’t defend yourself in such an absurd way,” says a parliamentarian who shows his fear of the impact of this information that Yolanda Díaz (Sumar) has put on the table during the campaign.
Diaz’s makeup
At the Madrid rally, Feijóo made precisely an unfortunate comment about Díaz, Vice President and Minister of Labor. The conservative leader said that the Government gives “make-up employment data” and pointed out that it is normal because “the minister in charge of makeup employment knows a lot.”
