In Dos Hermanas, (133,168 inhabitants, Seville), “the bastion of the socialists in Spain”, the city that the PSOE has governed with absolute majorities for 39 years, where the party’s record of victories is overwhelming, with 14 general elections won, 11 regional and 8 European, landed the Minister council of Pedro Sanchez to give yourself a kind of self-esteem bath or a ‘coaching’ session and appeal again to the pride of Andalusian socialism when the alarms go off in the face of what may happen in the next Andalusian elections. Sánchez was able to take his ministers to a retreat or a spa but I take them to a rally, something that many step little. The last government crisis, last July, left a technical and not very political Executive. Sánchez has given an express order that his ministers, in addition to managing, dedicate themselves to selling and campaigning.
There is one week left before the June 19 campaign begins and the PSOE needs to put the party to the boiling pot, mobilize the left-wing electorate, convince them once again to fill the ballot boxes with Juan Espadas’ ballot. He needs it not only to return to the Andalusian government, which he lost in 2018 after 37 uninterrupted years in power. He needs it to avoid consolidating the idea of a change of cycle in Spain that shows the exit door to Pedro Sánchez de Moncloa in favor of Alberto Núñez Feijóo. The ministers Félix Bolaños, Isabel Rodríguez, María Jesús Montero, Raquel Sánchez, Diana Morant, José Manuel Albares, Luis Planas and Reyes Maroto they attended the rally.
the stamp of eight ministers, almost full of the socialist wing, sitting on plastic chairs with a heat more typical of July than May at the Dos Hermanas fairgrounds and applauding the president, said more than all the speeches on the lectern. It’s time to put the batteries. There is a widespread feeling that the Government does not know how to sell its management and that the political noise and exhausting negotiations to carry out any regulation or project eat up everything. “This is a government with soul & rdquor ;, he said Adele Castano, number two on the PSOE list for Seville. Just that, that from the outside it seems that it is a cabinet “without a soul & rdquor; It is what from within the Executive itself they say that we must fight. It is not only necessary to warn what is at stake if Vox enters the Government, that is to say, to stir up the discourse of fear of the extreme right, but also to sell the management and social policies of the Executive, Ferraz insists.
What’s up concern in the socialist ranks it is obvious. The landing of the Government this Saturday in Dos Hermanas made it clear that much is at stake. In the city of Nazareth, Pedro Sánchez announced in 2017 that he was returning to the road to duel in the primaries with Susana Díaz, there he was born from the ashes like a phoenix, from there the Government now aspires to go on a comeback after two “very hard” years, as several of the participants in the rally said. Then there were 1,500 attendees, yesterday the organization reported 2,000. Those 4,000-person rallies stopped happening decades ago.

Four years from the motion
The PSOE wanted to extol that four years ago, in a plenary session held on May 31 and June 1, 2018, Sánchez won a motion of censure to evict Mariano Rajoy from the Government of Spain. An anniversary that they celebrated with a video at the start of the rally that ended with a declaration of intent: “And now? now it remains the most important, a year and a half ahead to continue governing & rdquor ;, said the canned voice of the advertising spot.
“We have overcome a pandemica volcano and we will overcome the war. But we have also promoted decent jobs and decent wages, decent pensions and we have removed corruption from Spanish political life & rdquor ;, said Sánchez, who praised the rise in the Interprofessional Minimum Wage, the revaluation of pensions or the arrival of 140,000 million European funds , declaring that they have “the same desire and the same illusion & rdquor ;.
When the leader of the PP speaks of “Sanchista Party & rdquor ;, the answer was clear “It’s not called felipismo or sanchismo, it’s called socialism & rdquor;, he proclaimed with applause from his militants. “The right in the government is corruption and in the opposition, tension & rdquor ;, he summed up. “Four years ago Spain won and lost the right & rdquor ;, that was the central message that the Prime Minister tried to set.
“We have to tell something well and of course what has happened in these four years & rdquor ;, encouraged Espadas, who admitted that he has the continuous support of the entire party and the Government. “Call me Juanma, he is a covert from the extreme right & rdquor ;, assured about the president of the Board and candidate of the PP, predicting his pact with Vox in the Board and warning about his “dangerous friendships & rdquor ;.
On stage paraded the mayor of Dos Hermanas, Paco Rodrigueznumber two for Seville, Adele Castanothe candidate Juan Espadas and the President of the Government, who had affectionate words for the historic city councillor, Quico Toscano, one of the men who has supported him the most in his political career and who from the public, already retired from the front line, received the compliments of his colleagues. He first supported José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero and then Pedro Sánchez. “From Dos Hermanas only winning projects have come out & rdquor ;, said the current mayor. Everyone is going to focus on this in the final stretch of the legislature, when the polls are against it and predict a change of cycle in Spain, in which the PSOE will once again be a winning project.
