Sánchez agitates left-wing causes to rally votes: “The dilemma is Feijóo and Abascal or PSOE”

Pedro Sánchez has accused the PP and Vox of trying to “impose false dilemmas” in the face of the upcoming general elections on 29-N. "They try to tell us that we have to choose between public health or Quirón, between a public pension or a fund in a bank, between decent housing or vulture funds. And we say that there is no such dilemma: public health yes or yes, public pensions yes or yes, decent housing yes or yes," he warned. “The only dilemma to be resolved at the polls with the people's vote on November 29 is whether we want to continue advancing or open the doors to reaction, if we want rights or cuts, if you want Feijóo and Abascal or the PSOE,” he stressed.

This Sunday, the President of the Government held his second rally of the electoral pre-campaign in Ponferrada (León). Precisely, in one of the small electoral constituencies – the province only distributes four seats to Congress – where the PSOE seeks to “bring together the progressive vote, the left-wing vote”, as highlighted by the deputy general secretary of the PSOE of Castilla y León, Nuria Rubio. In this way, the vote in these territories for other formations to the left of the PSOE would not be lost as usually happens, without winning any deputies, and could help the socialists to gain seats from the PP.

With this electoral strategy in the small electoral constituencies - up to a fortnight throughout Spain -, Sánchez has waved the flags of the left at the rally, so that the "social mobilizations" now in defense of access to decent housing, but previously also for the revaluation of pensions, women's equality, the rights of the LGTBI community, the increase in workers' salaries or to stop the "genocide" in Gaza and reject the increase in military spending up to 5% that Donald Trump demands, achieve a reissue of a progressive Government after 29-N.

“Social mobilization is in the streets and squares, but it is also in the hearts and consciences of the people,” Sánchez assured. And, for this reason, he has demanded “a majority that mobilizes at the polls in favor of the PSOE and a Government of the people, a progressive Government.” Only in this way, he noted, will he be able to maintain his project of “rebalancing power relations.”

"If we fill the ballot boxes, the people win. And if we don't fill them, those at the top win," warned the head of the Executive, who has summarized the opposition of the PP and Vox in "hoaxes, insults and cuts." In this sense, he has denounced the blockade so that 400,000 citizens, already nationalized Spanish by the law on grandchildren, can exercise their right to vote next 29-N. “Aren't the grandchildren of the exiles of Franco's regime going to be able to vote, and are the grandchildren of the Franco regime going to be able to vote?” he asked. “I ask the Supreme Court to stop this attempted attack by Feijóo and Abascal, because in a democracy the right to vote is not prohibited, it is guaranteed,” he warned.

The leader of the PSOE has warned against a Feijóo who is already demanding “sacrifices” from citizens and an Abascal who promises to “repeal everything that smacks of sanchismo.” "What smells like mothballs is the political project of Abascal and Feijóo: reaction, cuts and a lot of resentment. Spain needs four more years of progress and fewer insults from the right and the extreme right," he demanded.

For this reason, and despite the electoral “demobilization” strategy that he has attributed to the PP, Sánchez has demanded “a large and progressive majority in the next Parliament to go further and arrive sooner in achieving social advances.” “If we vote, we win,” he warned.
