Then we saw that he was going to a fruit fair In short, if the priority of asking for so many days for his investiture, and lying about it, was only his personal survival and not Spain, what this does is confirm what guides his decisions.

Upon being named a candidate for the investiture by the King last Tuesday, Sánchez announced that he wanted to meet with all parliamentary groups, starting with Sumar, his future coalition partner if he manages to be re-elected, and the PP. With Díaz, he has set this month of October as the limit to reach an agreement.
The appointment with Feijóo, currently undated, has a different purpose, as explained by the acting president during his appearance after receiving the order from Felipe VI. “It is not to garner his support. “I consider it out of place knowing their territorial alliances,” said Sánchez. Nor do I want to meet to appeal to the worst of corruptions: transfuguism, as the PP has done. But I am going to address myself to propose some common sense: that they comply with the laws, starting with the Constitution, and unblock the government of the judges, which has been blocked for five years as a result of their irresponsible attitude. And by the way, that we can banish insult and delegitimization from political discussion. I intend to do everything possible to make it so. “I only ask that the legitimacy of Parliament be respected and the Constitution be complied with.”
