Feijóo asks to "promote" the change from Catalonia, a key fiefdom for the PP this 29N, and entrusts Albiol with an anti-squatting law

The president of the Popular Party and candidate for the presidency of the Government, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, participated this Sunday in a rally in Barcelona to announce that he is going to prepare an anti-squatter law that will be in charge of his number 1 for Barcelona, ​​the also mayor of Badalona Xavier García Albiol, in a key fiefdom like Catalonia for the popular and their aspirations to recover the Moncloa.

At the event, held at the Palau de Congressos in Barcelona, ​​Feijóo promised that if he is president he will have "zero tolerance for squatters": "Out in 48 hours, yes or yes."

Addressing García Albiol, he said: "I am entrusting you to lead the anti-occupation law in Spain as of November 29." According to the leader of the Popular Party, if he becomes president he will have "zero tolerance for crime and recidivism" and has ensured "maximum protection for the honest citizen, above all, for those who need it most."

According to Alberto Núñez Feijóo, "it is not enough to say it, it must be demonstrated. Xavi (García Albiol) has done it, Catalonia needs him and Spain needs him!" he exclaimed.

Feijóo stressed that "it is not normal for your house to be occupied and you have to wait to get it back. It is not normal for Catalonia to lead the occupancy figures for evictions and crime. It is not normal for the same criminal to enter through one door and leave through the other."

On other topics, Feijóo recalled that for "the change to be unquestionable, a large majority is needed" and for Catalonia to be part of it. For this reason, he asked Catalans to go to the polls asking themselves if they want Ada Colau, head of the Frente Amplio list and former mayor of Barcelona, ​​or Albiol to manage their insecurity problems.

The until now head of the opposition has highlighted the need for Spain to have a Government that "knows how to manage", and has recalled the PP's commitment to pensions and public health and education: "Pensions, yes, of course. Jewelry in safes, no. Public health, yes. Jokes, no. Public education, yes. Bites, no. Housing, yes. Apartments for lovers of a minister, no," he pointed out, in reference to the PSOE scandals during the last two legislatures.

"What does Morocco have about Sánchez?"

In his speech, Feijóo also recalled the massive entry of immigrants into Ceuta and the relations with Morocco of the Government of Pedro Sánchez. Thus, he warned Sánchez that "everything will be known," "from who gave the order to hire hitmen to eliminate a judge to where Maduro's gold is," he said.

"And, of course, everything that has happened in Ceuta. The abandonment of the Spanish and the auction of our sovereignty. Why and in exchange for what does the Government behave like this?" Feijóo asked himself in Barcelona.

Feijóo recalled that the massive entry into Ceuta was "an invasion" and criticized Sánchez for giving "thanks to Morocco for the help", even after it became known that Moroccan warships entered Spanish waters without authorization.

"Thank you, Morocco, because in recent months you have only invaded us occasionally," the popular candidate ironically said. "But what sewer hides Sánchez's motive for so much submission? What do the Moroccan intelligence services have about him that makes Sánchez put up with all this?" he asked.

Feijóo recalled that "the Moroccan press is asking for a vote for Sánchez" and asked "why", to which an attendee at the rally responded "because he is a traitor!", something that Feijóo did not verbalize.

Instead, he stated that this fact is due to the fact that "Sánchez defends the interests of Morocco" while he is going to "defend those of Spain", because it is my obligation as President of the Government and it is the obligation of any public servant," he proclaimed.

Feijóo recalled that he wants "good neighborliness" with Morocco, but guaranteed that if he becomes president, there will also be "firmness", a demand for "loyalty" and "never submission."

The leader of the popular parties has said that he will also demand that Europe "get involved", he has promised to reinforce "the borders with human, technological and material means" and will reform the Immigration Law "so that it is not a drain."

"Spain does not sell itself, Spain defends itself on its borders, it defends itself in Europe, it defends itself firmly and it also defends itself at the polls with our vote. Let's not allow them to invade our democracy as well," concluded Feijóo.

The importance of Catalonia for the PP

Feijóo is aware of the importance of Catalonia for his aspirations to Moncloa. In 2023 he missed the presidency by four seats. Two of them narrowly escaped in Catalonia: in Girona they were 366 votes short of taking a seat from Junts and in Lleida they were 3,502 votes away from taking away the second of their deputies from the PSOE.

Those results reinforced Génova's conviction that the Catalan community offers room to continue growing and, therefore, the popular leader has been intensifying his presence in Catalonia for months with the aim of gaining electoral weight.
