In the main opposition party, in Ciudadanos and Vox they gloat over the political crisis with which Pedro Sánchez is dribbling just over a month after the Andalusian elections and with the PP rising in the polls for the general elections. “We are foresight, prudence, tranquility. Just the opposite of what Sánchez represents at the moment,” adds that Feijóo collaborator.

The PP leader wrote on Twitter that Sánchez has offered the independentistas “the head” of Paz Esteban as director of the National Intelligence Center (CNI) to seek his own “survival” in Moncloa. “The government as a whole should resign and call elections.

“That is Sánchez’s way of governing,” Gamarra made ugly. Esteban, the recently dismissed, was interim spy chief for six months after Félix Sanz Roldán left the post in July 2019, so her election was not a surprise. In 2009, however, when José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero chose Sanz Roldán to replace the also dismissed Alberto Saiz, the then president did telephone Mariano Rajoy to inform him of his decision.

In the session of control to the Government of this Wednesday, the PP will maintain the pressure for these scandals. Gamarra will do it face to face with Sánchez and his colleagues Carlos Rojas and José Antonio Bermúdez de Castro, with the ministers Félix Bolanos (Chair) and Margarita Oak trees (Defense), respectively. The choice is not trivial. For the popular, Bolaños represents the “destabilizing Sánchez”, because he was the one who announced at a press conference that the cell phones of the president and Robles had been ‘hacked’, and the Minister of Defense symbolizes “the usual PSOE, which no longer there is more with this president”, in the words of a PP deputy.
