Ernest Urtasun intervenes in the Frente Amplio event

The Minister of Culture and number 2 for Barcelona in the Frente Amplio, Ernest Urtasun, has intervened in the event of the new coalition in Madrid, where he has criticized the proposal that the PP has made regarding sick leave or taxes. "We are not going to allow them to question sick leave, sick leave is prescribed by a doctor, do they question the work of our doctors? Now you can't ask for sick leave when you are sick? It can't be. Or the tax cuts, this is the great pending task for the rebalancing of economic power in our country and we are not going to allow them to continue lowering taxes on the rich, we are going to carry out a great tax reform and the Frente Amplio is going to lift it in this country," he claimed.

"They have taken off their masks, because on Monday they bring Milei to us because they come with the chainsaw program, they are no longer hiding from anything at all. A program that has destroyed the public institutions that supported Argentine culture," Urtasun criticized the Argentine president's visit to Spain, where he will see Abascal and Ayuso.

Sánchez: "We are going to win the cause of housing in honor of Maricarmen"

Regarding housing, Sánchez has said that "the cause for housing" will be won by "the strength of the people", which is the socialist motto in this electoral pre-campaign, and that they will do it "in honor of" Maricarmen and the people mobilized "in the squares."

In his speech, the general secretary of the socialists stated that the strength of the people, their motto, "is named after an 87-year-old woman who died hopelessly and who before dying told us all: what I have suffered, let no one else suffer again." "In honor of her and the people who are demonstrating in the country's squares," Sánchez added, as well as the previous generations who brought the welfare state, "we are going to win the cause of housing, as we all win, with the strength of the people."

Likewise, Sánchez has proclaimed that the strength of the people "overwhelms the ballot boxes and takes the claims of those mobilized in the streets to the Official State Gazette."

Sánchez: these elections "are the most important"

Sánchez has also referred to the "major transformations" that will impact the daily lives of citizens, such as climate change or artificial intelligence. "That is why these elections are so important. Probably one of the most important because we are at risk over the next four years as to what direction our country is going to take to respond to these big questions, and depending on who is in Moncloa we will be able to either narrow and reduce those social and territorial gaps, already quite large, or continue widening those social and territorial gaps, as Spanish society unfortunately suffers today," he defended.

"I ask you: who can govern the climate emergency? The flat earthers, who deny science, or those of us who have led the greatest green revolution in the country's democratic history? Who can govern the impact of artificial intelligence? Those who roll out the red carpet for the technoligarchs, or those of us who say 'no' to playing with the mental health of our young people and doing business with it? Who is going to defend the international order based on rules, international legality and human rights? "Those who remain silent against the genocide in Gaza or those who say 'no to war' in Ukraine, in Iran and in Gaza?" Sánchez proclaimed amid shouts of "no to war."

"Who is going to defend better in the face of all those transformations, where we need a Government that protects society against all these great impacts represented by the climate emergency, inequality or artificial intelligence? Who is going to better defend the welfare state, those who as soon as the pre-campaign opens are already saying that the public pension system is broken, is bankrupt, or those of us who have filled the pension piggy bank? This is what these elections are about, on November 29 we are at risk if we want four more years of advances, or Spain goes back four decades at once. I am convinced that we are going to win with a much larger majority than what happened in 2019 and 2023," he added.

Ione Belarra intervenes in the Podemos Citizen Council

Ione Belarra, general secretary of Podemos, intervenes in the State Council of Podemos: "My first call today is to mobilize and organize so that the general strike in 12 years is a success. Whoever governs after next November 29, the price of housing and things will only go down if people continue fighting and organizing in the streets," she claimed. For Belarra, "the eviction of Maricarmen and the subsequent mobilizations also had as a consequence the electoral advancement of the general elections by Pedro Sánchez."

The leader of Podemos has taken stock of the legislature and has claimed the role of her party: "This legislature, marked by the greatest rearmament in the history of this country, by very serious cases of corruption of the PSOE, by the total inaction on housing, had been exhausted for a long time and the president had been looking for an excuse for some time to call elections. When they saw the mobilizations for housing, the PSOE decided to do what it does best: trilerismo. Now we will hear from the same Pedro Sánchez who blocked the housing law so that it did not include rent intervention, who launched a telephone of hope in the worst housing crisis in decades, who has tried to reform the land law to favor speculation and who has met on dozens of occasions with the vulture funds to say that he is going to fix the housing problem, that he had not realized it and that we please forgive him. But no, the same one who has wasted a golden opportunity in the legislature, which has been a fundamental part of the problem, is not going to be the one. solution. Instead of acting bravely, he decided to start the legislature by expelling Podemos from the Government, which was the driving force of the progress. We have told them in Congress: every day that passed without doing anything to lower the price of housing, without solving the people's problems, was another day in which the growth of the PP and Vox was being fed. This is what has given them a red carpet and what has skyrocketed them in the polls. but the reality is that more PSOE will only bring more PP and Vox. And if the PSOE continues to govern without anyone to twist its arm, without anyone forcing it to transform, Vox will have an absolute majority, as we are already seeing what happens in other countries in Europe. There are no shortcuts to stop fascism, it is only stopped by advancing rights and confronting the power. the status quo. People on the left know that even though things are difficult, continuing to fight and defend rights is the only option," Belarra indicated.

Almeida, about Sánchez: "It is not advisable to consider him dead"

The mayor of Madrid, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, has been convinced that the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, wants the capacity "crazily" given the possibility that the judicial processes opened around the PSOE and his family could affect him. However, and despite the polls, he has asked his party, the PP, to contain the euphoria because "it is not advisable to consider him dead" and the electoral campaign will be "dirty." In an interview with Servimedia, Almeida has shared the thesis of his party's national leadership that the electoral advance is due to the fact that "nothing made him improve his electoral perspective" between now and July because "what was going to happen in the courts was going to harm him even more."

Regarding the electoral campaign, the Madrid mayor has maintained that the President of the Government "is going to try absolutely everything" and has indicated that "he already started by holding a rally in La Moncloa." Furthermore, he has criticized that the Government intends to bring to the Permanent Deputation some royal decree laws that, in his opinion, "contravene the majority will expressed by the Congress of Deputies."

Feijóo calls the agreement between PSOE and Frente Amplio for the Senate a "coalition of the desperate"

The leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, assessed before the media this Saturday the appointment of the new socialist spokesperson, Rebeca Torró, after the resignation of Montse Mínguez, as well as the agreement reached between the PSOE and Frente Amplio to run together on 29N on a single ballot for the Senate. Ironically, Feijóo wished "many successes" to the new PSOE spokesperson. "Mr. Sánchez always makes good signings, first it was Mr. Ábalos, then Mr. Cerdán, Mr. Salazar, Mrs. Montse (Mínguez) and now Mrs. Torró. I wish him the best of luck," he commented.

"We have also seen at midnight what Mr. Sánchez has done. I show solidarity with Mr. Sánchez, because having to take Mrs. Colau to try to save the furniture, the Sánchez-Colau coalition is a declaration of intentions and of the situation in which the PSOE is," he said about the agreement between the socialists and the Frente Amplio to go together for the Senate. "The coalition of desperate people that the PSOE has built, diluting its acronym with 20 political formations, proves that this claim that the PSOE is going to win the elections is yet another hypocrisy."

The socialists support Montse Mínguez after her resignation

Socialist leaders attending the Federal Committee of the PSOE this Saturday have made clear their support for the party's until now spokesperson, Montse Mínguez, whose resignation they have regretted and attributed to the "cruelty" in the politics that is now practiced at a time when it seems that "anything goes."

The spokesperson for the socialist group in Congress, Patxi López, has assured that he attended this committee with "enormous sadness" for the resignation of Montse Mínguez, since in his opinion those who practice "cruelty" in politics "have managed to create a broken woman today." He has supported the work of the until now PSOE spokesperson and has assured that Mínguez "never, never, never" took steps or voted to favor the interests of his partner, whose real estate businesses have generated a controversy that has ended with his resignation from office.

"Quite the opposite, she always defended housing as a right," he stated, recalling that the former socialist leader not only opted for affordable housing, but also for public housing and also for the abuses of vulture funds to be punished.
