Political clash in Parliament due to the situation in Ceuta, the economy and tensions with the opposition

The battle fronts are multiplying: the situation in Ceuta that is not improving; the grandchildren law that confronts the Government with the opposition and the Supreme Court or the rise in inflation that eats into families' salaries. Everything serves to fuel the political war in Parliament.

The leader of the opposition, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, maintains that Spain's image abroad is deteriorating at times and in this sense he has confronted the President of the Government.

"When was the last time you spoke with the Moroccan authorities, what did you tell them about what happened in Ceuta and what did they tell you. I say this," he continued, "because yesterday Morocco offered to welcome all the migrants and then why are they still in Ceuta a month and a half later, making life miserable for the Spanish people and degrading the image of the nation?"

Pedro Sánchez, who has not answered whether or not he has spoken with Mohamed VI, has reproached him for seeking to suspend the agreement with Morocco when his collaboration is essential to achieve the return of the immigrants and has accused the leader of the popular parties of "trying to make the problem chronic instead of solving it."

For the president, the image of Spain does not deteriorate in the eyes of the debt rating agencies, the investment funds and the Elcano Institute. For him this is enough to demonstrate that Spain is the country with the best image. "That is the reality of Spain," he assured, "while you are only putting spokes in the wheel to solve the problem of Ceuta." According to Sánchez, the PP's hindering attitude is a habit: "they did it in the Dana, in the pandemic, in the La Palma volcano and now, in Ceuta." "His patriotism," he insisted, "is removable."

Feijóo has insisted that Sánchez's silence "is a shame" and as a result he has demanded that the president "stop covering up those responsible" and "take his responsibility." "Do not ask for more patience because it has been exhausted," he said.

The spokesperson for Junts, Miriam Nogueras, has chosen to focus on the precariousness suffered by working families and Sánchez has responded with the list of measures that the Government has implemented throughout the legislature, many of which, she said, are hindered by the CCAA of the PP.

Nogueras has emphasized that people wonder "if it is worth working and making an effort if things become more and more difficult" and has lamented that "workers are getting poorer every day." "It is not normal that working every day makes it more difficult to make ends meet, nor that the Spanish Treasury is a machine for robbing Catalans. The policies of the socialists lead us to an increasingly impoverished society and an increasingly unleashed extreme right, while its corruption is increasingly increasing. You are a machine for manufacturing poor people and you have become the highway for the extreme right," the independence spokesperson harshly reproached.

A similar question has come from Bildu: "The working class sees how salaries do not pay and the wealth" taken away in Aizpurua's opinion, "by the right, does not return." The Abertzale spokesperson has asked to raise the SMI further, recover compensation for dismissal and establish by law the time record and reduce the working day. Sánchez, with kid gloves, has responded that his Government is that of the workers and has promised to set the SMI at 60% of the average salary.
