Why It Matters
The rally takes place after the train accidents in Urda and Adamuz. The ERE case is a recurring reference to the corruption of the PSOE in Andalusia.
Alberto Núñez Feijóo this Sunday asked for “strong support” throughout Spain to form a “strong Government” and make a “clear and resounding change.” The leader of the PP, who has starred in an electoral event in Malaga together with Juanma Moreno, has committed to distancing himself from Pedro Sánchez's way of governing: "Do not expect frivolity from me, that I live watching television and social networks, that I raise my voice. I have come to lift up the country." “Demand me and expect work, effort and dedication from me,” he added.
The leader of the PP has held his second rally after the accident in Urda (Toledo), which left 69 deaths. He did it in Malaga, affected by that accident because it occurred on the line that takes the AVE to the city. In this sense, Feijóo has committed to "not forget" the victims of the accidents in Urda and Adamuz (Córdoba) and has assured that "it is not a tragedy, but rather continued negligence by the Government." For the leader of the PP, Sánchez is responsible.
Furthermore, Feijóo has assured that, before recovering normal service on the railway line affected by the two high-speed fatal accidents this year, it is necessary to “know what state the corridor is in.” "You have to know what you need and how long it would take to guarantee 100% safety. We are not going to put a date ahead of safety. We are not going to put rush ahead of people's lives," he said, recalling that this railway corridor is used by 32,000 people daily. “They need a complete audit, inch by inch of the entire network,” he added.
Feijóo has assured that his Government will focus on “management” and has also warned the PSOE about the corruption problems. "One of the commitments that I publicly assume is that my government will never pardon a politician convicted of corruption. We are not going to pardon any politician who has put his hand in the box," said Feijóo, who recalled the ERE case of the PSOE of Andalusia. “If you did not forgive public money being used to pay for prostitution in the ERE, why are you now going to forgive the Spanish government using it for the same thing?” he asked.
“I am not going to forget corruption, I am not going to forget immorality, I am not going to forget Zapatero and even less so here in Andalusia,” he added. "Everything will be known, everything will be cleaned. We are going to repair everything and we are going to put everything to work," he continued.
