The Popular Party has received dozens of proposals to debate during the campaign, and accepts that Alberto Núñez Feijóo have two campaign debates with Pedro Sánchez. One face to face and another between the four main candidates. This was conveyed this Friday by the popular formation in a statement.

The idea of ​​the PP is to hold a face-to-face meeting in Mediaset on November 16, which is the first Monday of the campaign, and a four-way debate (Sánchez, Feijóo, Santiago Abascal and the Frente Amplio candidate) in Atresmedia on November 26, as close as possible to the appointment with the polls.

In these debates, the PP wants to confront models "with all intensity." That is why he is going to ask "that the housing block in the debates have a special weight, a capital weight, to truly talk about an essential issue for the whole of Spanish society." This was announced yesterday by the general secretary and director of the PP campaign, Miguel Tellado.

In the engine room of Genoa they have been challenging the Government in this field in recent days, contravening the idea that it is a debate that favors the left: «Do you want to talk about housing? Well, let's talk about housing. That is: the PP is not only not uncomfortable with the sudden turn that current events have taken towards the problems of the rental market, but it wants to promote the discussion.

The surveys conducted by the PP certify that "people clearly reject" the Government's baggage when it comes to facing the main problem for the Spanish people. "Sánchez has aggravated this problem, the Spaniards know it, they blame him and that is why he is as he is in the surveys that we know every day," said Tellado.

«He doesn't fool anyone. "You can't imagine how eager we are to debate with him about what they have not done over the last eight years," he insisted, before criticizing that "the unions have not found it convenient and urgent" to call a protest for housing in all these years. "Coincidentally, now," he said ironically.

"The electoral campaign for the general elections is a fantastic opportunity to confront models between the Spain that is coming and the Spain that is leaving," they say in the PP.

Of course, Feijóo has refused to attend debates on TVE, at a time when the PP is very critical of the public channel, which it calls "submissive" to Sánchez and "partial." The candidate of the main opposition party does agree to be interviewed by this channel, but as long as it is not in a privately produced program.

«The company does not have managers who work with the general interest in mind, but it does have magnificent communication professionals. "It should be them and not an external production company who assume the challenge and responsibility of organizing these interviews, so important, both on TVE and RNE," reads the statement, which is based on the letters that the PP campaign director, Miguel Tellado, has sent to the communication groups that have requested debates.

In addition, the Popular Party will participate in a debate with the spokespersons of the political groups with parliamentary representation. «There is a proposal from RTVE for Monday, November 23. "We accept it." The person chosen to attend that debate is Ester Muñoz, spokesperson for the popular parliamentary group in Congress.

On the other hand, the general secretary of the Popular Party attacked the president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, given the possibility of him pardoning the former state attorney general, Álvaro García Ortiz before the elections. In his opinion, he would do it to pay favors and not "sing."
