"At last!". Euphoria contained in the PP after the early call for elections. There is euphoria because they believe that Pedro Sánchez's eight years have come to an end, but there is also contention, due to the lesson learned on July 23, 2023. The polls predict an overwhelming victory for the right-wing bloc, but the popular ones are not confident and want to activate their bases as much as possible.

That same expression, "finally", has been used by the Popular Party to summarize the feelings of its people regarding the early calling of the polls, in a video on social networks in which people are seen climbing stairs, advancing and prospering while the choral finale of Beethoven's ninth symphony plays in the background. The Ode to Joy. Finally... "we will do justice", "we will rebuild our country", "we will tear down walls".

"At last". Alberto Núñez Feijóo has also summarized his analysis of the calling of elections in this way, before emphasizing once again that the PP is already "prepared" for the mother of all Spanish political battles in recent decades. "Finally the Spaniards will decide," summarized the president of the PP in a statement in Génova, 13.

"It is the only good news that Sánchez could give and they are not just another election: it is about choosing between a project of personal ambition or a national project," he said. It is also about "the nation and democracy defeating those who have done them the most harm," and choosing "between decadence and prosperity," or between "corruption" and "change." "Maintaining power has been the only goal," Feijóo lamented.

"The challenges of the next legislature are only comparable to those of 50 years ago", at the beginning of the Transition. "Elections give us the opportunity to say what we think about everything that has happened." "Spain can give itself another opportunity, another direction," emphasized Feijóo, for whom Sánchez summons "out of fear."

The leader of the main opposition party has demanded "freedom" to undertake "national reconstruction" with "the pride of a country that does not give up." "Decline or change, division or change." For this alternative, what Feijóo has demanded is "not to trust." "My pulse will not tremble," he promised. "Everything that needs to be done will be done" to support "a profound change."

Feijóo, of course, "will maintain the planned agenda, PP sources report. "You cannot start a pre-campaign by leaving the people who are waiting for you at an event like the Family Business Congress stranded. Sanchez won't go. Feijóo yes. Even in these things we are different," they point out.

The main barons of the PP have also reacted to the call for elections. "Sánchez is leaving because he can't take it anymore. He has only lied again since that meeting he just gave us in La Moncloa," said Isabel Díaz Ayuso, who intervened first. "This is again an old battle between communism or freedom."

"Spain is being trampled and devastated," he said, and Sánchez "has tried to victimize himself, to present himself as a man who has brought the best levels of what kind of progress, it is not known, but the truth is that he has only lied again since that rally that he just offered us in La Moncloa for not recognizing that he neither has the numbers nor can he continue with this farce for any longer," Ayuso added.
