Sánchez warns PP and Vox: “I hope they at least accept the electoral result”

The President of the Government warns in Palma de Mallorca against a possible coalition between the PP and Vox, comparing it to international far-right movements.

Quick Look

Pedro Sánchez has focused his campaign speech in Palma de Mallorca on a direct confrontation between the PSOE and the PP-Vox alliance, whom he links to political "involution" and international far-right figures.

Why It Matters

President Pedro Sánchez has called general elections for November 29. The speech focuses on the polarization between the progressive bloc and the right.

In his opinion, there is no one else in this contest: “Them and us.” Pedro Sánchez interprets the general elections on November 29 as a duel in the sun between two only political actors: the PSOE, on the one hand, and the Popular Party with the far-right Vox, whom he puts in the same bag, on the other. And he focuses his entire electoral speech on this clash, in addition to vindicating his government action for more than eight years. This is what the Chief Executive did again at the rally he held today in Palma de Mallorca, on the first Saturday of the electoral campaign.

“Good politics is moving forward and bad education is regressing,” Sánchez warned. "Good politics bears fruit and we leave bad education to those who say 'I like fruit', that is the big difference between them and us," he insisted. "Feijóo and Abascal do not represent an alternative to anything, because they offer nothing except cuts and the chainsaw. They only represent the same insults, the same lies, the same cuts as the family to which they belong, which is the far-right international led by Trump, Milei, Bolsonaro, Le Pen, Meloni, Salvini and Orban," he warned.

"Has Trump meant an alternative or a regression for American society? Did Bolsonaro represent an alternative or a regression in Brazil?" he asked. At that moment, from the public they shouted: “Long live Lula!” “Of course, long live Lula, of course,” admitted Sánchez, who next Monday will receive the express support of the re-elected Brazilian president in the electoral event that they will share at the UGT headquarters in Madrid, with the aim of trying to bring together the entire progressive vote. “What we do not want for the world, we do not want for our country,” encouraged the socialist leader before the 29-N. “We must vote strongly for the PSOE!” he demanded.

The President of the Government recalled that, in the last general elections, “thanks to mobilization, in 2023 we stopped the involution.” Now, Lula has just won re-election in Brazil, while Trump has bitten the dust in the mid-term elections in the United States, thanks in both cases to “a historic mobilization.” And that is what Sánchez seeks for 29-N, so that Spain “makes history again, showing that at the polls we are going to defeat the regression of Feijóo and Abascal.”

With a warning message, remembering the cases of Trump and Bolsonaro, when they did not recognize the respective victories of Joe Biden and Lula da Silva, and the assault on the Capitol in Washington and the Congress in Brasilia took place, in 2021 and 2023. "I hope that they at least accept the electoral result of November 29, because the PSOE is going to win the elections and will continue to govern for four more years," Sánchez warned, in reference to Feijóo and Abascal.

Sánchez has once again set the challenge of these elections in which there is a participation of 75% of the electorate - in 2023 it was 70.3% -, in order to have the possibility of forming an "absolute progressive majority" of 176 seats in Congress. And also eliminate the absolute majority that Feijóo has enjoyed in the Senate in this legislature. In any case, the leader of the PSOE has already released his forecast, which disagrees with that of the majority of the surveys that have been published since he called the 29-N. The PP and Vox, he predicted, “are not going to add up.” And everyone in the PSOE is crossing their fingers.
