Feijóo accuses Sánchez of "wanting to see the fire grow" after the riots in Barcelona: "The disciples of the wall do not want peace in the streets"

The images seen last night in Barcelona, ​​where a protest by anti-system youth ended with riots, looting and burning of containers - and 128 people arrested - has led the opposition leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, to point out the Government for "not guaranteeing peace in his country." And not only that: the popular leader has accused the head of the Executive, Pedro Sánchez, of "playing with fire": "The fire of social unrest that he has caused, of the violence that is not stopping." "The fire that wants to see grow," Feijóo even stated this Sunday.

At a rally in Salamanca, the popular leader assured that behind the riots of the last few hours in Barcelona - and those that occurred in La Coruña this week - there is an "obvious intention": "The disciples of the wall do not want peace in the streets." "They are sowing hatred because they know they are going to lose," Feijóo judged, accusing them of "resisting to abandon power with violence." And, amid applause from his leaders, he concluded: "Since they have lost the street, they want to burn it down."

Feijóo's speech is thus close to the one maintained by the party on his right regarding the growing social tension in Spain, since last Thursday Santiago Abascal blamed the Government for the riots that occurred in La Coruña against an act of his. "Violence that is designed and organized from the Palace of La Moncloa," said the leader of the hard right. And, although the popular one has not been so explicit in blaming the Executive, he has indirectly held La Moncloa responsible for having "dynamited peace" by generating division.

Feijóo has "condemned in the most resounding manner" what happened last night in Barcelona, ​​which he has called "barbarism", and has promised to be "relentless with those who seek to destroy Spanish coexistence to prevent democratic alternation." Thus, the popular leader, who has announced that he will travel to Barcelona this week, has assured that a hypothetical government of his that comes out of the polls on November 29 "would stand up to the violent if they dare to burn the streets" and "would ensure everyone's safety." "No responsible ruler can minimize these behaviors," he maintained, discrediting the Government's response to what happened - "the PSOE, always talking about this with a small mouth."
