Sánchez and Feijóo put their cards face up for 29N

With less than a week until the campaign for the general elections on November 29 formally begins, the five main parties have already put their cards on the table, face up, in a first weekend of rallies and messages, after almost ten days of mourning for the train accident in Urda.

In Valencia and Tarragona, Pedro Sánchez has revealed the three lines of action to unite the vote of the left around the PSOE. The first, Puente's resignation as an example of "dignity" compared to the way of assuming responsibilities in the PP. The second, "Mariano Rajoy's cuts in railway investment", from 15 years ago, as a justification for the Adamuz and Urda accidents (116 deaths) and the state of the infrastructure, just after the European Prosecutor's Office and the UCO focused on corruption in Adif. And the third: an evening harangue for the general strike over the housing crisis that he has not been able to remedy in eight years of government, but which has served as a trigger for him to run for re-election.

Faced with this, Feijóo takes an opposition position, focused on "management" as anti-Sánchez therapy and with the objective of "lifting the rugs" and "opening the windows." In Valladolid, the PP candidate made it clear this Saturday that he seeks to mobilize the vote by listing his opponent's weak points, one by one, also appealing to "the dignity of all Spaniards" in the face of cases of corruption, the invasion of Ceuta or the high cost of living for "young and old." And all this, for now, without mentioning Vox even once. But this has only just begun.

Meanwhile, Frente Amplio, Podemos-ERC and Vox calibrate positions and adjust their speeches. Some, pointing to housing and the general strike of 11N, remembering that the vote of the left is not only the PSOE. And others, with the drama of Urda and corruption as the main starting points.
