Riots have been reported in A Coruña during a demonstration against a Vox act. Feijóo seeks to politically capitalize on these events before the November 29 elections.
Alberto Núñez Feijóo wants to turn the elections on November 29 into a turning point to end the climate of political confrontation that he attributes to the Government of Pedro Sánchez. And the violent riots recorded this week in A Coruña, where a demonstration of some 5,000 people against an act by the president of Vox ended in clashes with riot police, have given this Saturday a new argument to call on Spaniards to "tear down Sánchez's wall" at the polls.
The leader of the PP has accused "certain parties" of encouraging violence in the streets and has promised to reinforce the means and support of the State Security Forces and Bodies if he reaches La Moncloa. "What do we want? Do we also want the riots in France? Do we really want to get used to violence being part of politics?" he asked.
He has done it in Vigo, supported by the president of the Xunta, Alfonso Rueda, and the main leaders of the Galician PP, before whom he has claimed his land as an example of management and coexistence. Feijóo has regretted that the images broadcast by the media throughout Spain have projected an image of Galicia in which he claims not to recognize himself.
"The violence and intolerance of sectarians is not Galicia. Those with a single mind are not Galicia. Those who are not able to convince and then want to impose are not Galicia," he denounced, while expressing his support for the agents and journalists attacked during the altercations.
For the popular candidate, what happened responds to a strategy of agitation that links to the division policy of the Executive. "They seek to agitate a street that turns its back on them. There are parties that publicly encourage it," he warned.
Faced with this, Feijóo has defended a Spain in which citizens can walk safely and political disagreements are resolved without resorting to force. "We must shake hands again. We must disagree, but not stone," he insisted.
And from that demand it has gone directly to the electoral battle. "I ask that on November 29 we tear down Sánchez's wall. That wall that feeds extremists and destroys us as a country," he proclaimed, convinced that the change of Government must open a stage of "national reconstruction."
But security has not been Feijóo's only commitment in Vigo. The popular candidate has deployed a good part of his economic program with the promise of a generalized tax reduction starting in 2027, aimed especially "at medium and low incomes, families, the self-employed and young people."
Among the measures announced are a reduction in personal income tax to offset the effect of inflation from 2022, a 0% VAT for basic foods and electricity as long as inflation persists, and the exemption from this tax for self-employed people who invoice less than 85,000 euros annually. He has also promised to improve family minimums to reduce the tax burden on households with children.
In terms of housing, Feijóo has reiterated his commitment to promote the construction of one million apartments in four years, reform the Land Law and approve a law against occupation that allows illegal occupants to be evicted "in 48 hours."
In a Galician key, he has assumed the commitment to reform the regional financing system, a demand that he maintained during his years at the head of the Xunta and that Rueda now heads. "Autonomous financing is not the currency with which a Government is purchased," he stated, defending a distribution based on the cost of public services and not on partisan interests.
