Pedro Sánchez continued the electoral campaign this Saturday with a massive rally in Palma, where he was flanked by the president of the Congress of Deputies and leader of the Balearic PSOE, the Mallorcan Francina Armengol.

In his speech, the PSOE candidate and President of the Government has been very enthusiastic and convinced of his victory, despite the fact that all the polls, except the CIS, maintain unchanged the predictable results that grant the absolute majority to the sum of PP and Vox. For example, in the latest Sigma Dos tracking published by EL MUNDO this Friday, it grants the two parties of the right bloc a sum of up to 50.7% of support in voting intention.

Sánchez has continued to delve into the main lines of his message in this start of the campaign, continually presenting himself as the alternative "for good politics" against "insults and bad education", he said, of the two leaders of the two right-wing parties, PP and Vox, whose candidates he has continued to link, presenting them as an indistinguishable binomial and aligned "with the far-right international family represented by Trump, Milei or Bolsonaro." At one point, he even chanted "Viva Lula" from the audience.

Sánchez has once again demanded a historic mobilization from left-wing voters, placing it at 75% and, amidst mockery of his figure, he has demanded that the PP candidate, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, respect the result of the elections. "I hope that even though he fails in English and economics, Feijóo passes in citizenship education and accepts the electoral result because the PSOE will win the elections and will continue governing for four more years."

He has not only had words of ridicule for the leader of the PP. He has also ridiculed the Vox candidate, Santiago Abascal, whom he has criticized again for "not taking a position on Franco although he does call me a dictator" and of whom he has said: "He does not go to television programs where he cannot control the public: he says that he represents the Spain that gets up early and it turns out that he is the ultra that wrinkles."

Faced with the right-wing bloc and European skepticism, the leader of the PSOE has demanded the "European vote, of those who believe in Europe and who position themselves against war and in favor of human rights."

Before Sánchez, the president of Congress and leader of the socialists of the Balearic Islands, Francina Armengol, intervened, leading the list of candidates for the Cortes for the Islands and who began her speech by confessing her nervousness: "my belly even hurts." He then praised Sánchez saying that "he is the most rigorous person with the most values ​​that I have met in my life."

Armengol has attacked the right saying that his project is "absolute nothing" and has accused Feijóo of wanting to corner the Catalan language. "They just want to ban and roll back."

"In these three years as president of Congress I have seen people wanting to work and in the face of insults and rudeness and we must vote against that," she added. On November 29, he added, "they are going to rage because they are going to have Sánchez as President of the Government."

In his speech, Armengol said that "the country is better than ever." He said this shortly after his right-hand man in the Balearic Islands, Iago Negueruela, praised the demonstration called last Wednesday by the unions to protest about housing, low salaries and the high cost of living in Spain.

"To continue moving forward we need a government chaired by Pedro Sánchez, full stop and we will not return to that dark Spain," concluded the former Balearic president of the PSOE (2015-2023).

The one in Palma is the fourth rally that the PSOE candidate has given since the campaign officially began last Thursday. The opening ceremony took place that day in Seville, with the surprise appearance of Begoña Gómez, the president's wife.

The socialists will present their electoral program tomorrow, a few days after the presentation made by their main political adversary, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, who presented his program on Tuesday, days before the starting signal of the campaign for 29-N.
