AI-generated summary
The event marks the beginning of the pre-campaign for the November 29 elections. The figure of Maricarmen Abascal is used as a symbol of the fight for the right to housing.
This Saturday in Dos Hermanas, the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, gave the starting signal to the electoral pre-campaign for the elections on November 29, and he did so at an event in Dos Hermanas (Seville), in which he promised to reinforce the housing decree, and attacked the opposition.
The general secretary of the PSOE has said that "the housing policy has no expiration date." In fact, he started the rally talking about Maricarmen Abascal, the evicted woman who started the housing crisis and who died this week.
"Today the social cause is named after an 87-year-old woman who was evicted and told us that 'what I have suffered, let no one else suffer," said Sánchez, who has promised to honor "that example of life" and that just as "our fathers and mothers fought for the welfare state, each state has its fight, because we will also win the fight for housing."
Accompanied by his former vice president and current leader of the Andalusian PSOE, María Jesús Montero, Sánchez has also taken advantage of the rally to attack the opposition of the PP and Vox, whom he accuses of discouraging "people from voting" and of whom he has predicted that "they are going to lose these elections."
The President of the Government has alluded to the story of Pedro and the wolf to point out that "they are the wolf and added that "if anything, I am a dog that has no master and if I serve someone, in any case I will serve ordinary people."
He has also criticized the doubts that PP and Vox are projecting about the cleanliness of the elections: "I'm going to tell you one thing, they are right to be afraid, because full ballot boxes are won by the people and empty ballot boxes are won by those who pull the strings," he said. "They have gone from 'he who can make him do', to the less they vote, the better," he added.
Montero: "We are going to win the elections"
Before Pedro Sánchez, María Jesús Montero intervened, predicting that "the social majority of this country is going to win the next general elections. "We are going to win the elections."
He has also turned to the figure of Maricarmen Abascal, whose "tragedy has become a social force," he said because he has maintained that Sánchez, when the housing decrees were "overturned" in Congress, said that as long as he is president no case like Maricarmen's will happen again. "And he has fulfilled it," said Montero, despite the fact that there have been more cases like this week's in Catalonia.
