The spokesperson for the Socialist Group in Congress, Patxi López, accuses the opposition of “lack of humanity”, of being “sexist” and even of “making fun of love”. Furthermore, he accuses critics of the PSOE of “delving into the strategy of misery” against Pedro Sánchez.
At a press conference in Congress, Patxi López criticized the reaction to the five-day reflection period imposed by Pedro Sánchez. The president canceled his work schedule after the judicial investigation of his wife, Begoña Gómez, due to a complaint from Manos Médicas.
In the opinion of Patxi López, the opposition not only mocks love, but they force Sánchez to “endure the most ruthless attack by land, sea and air.” And he considers that there is a “strategy of the right”, because he says, “he does not accept that one of his own does not govern.” “And while some of us defended the president, others have supported this strategy and many have looked the other way,” he complained.
The socialist has regretted that, after Pedro Sánchez’s letter, “the statements of PP leaders are the best example” of that strategy. De Feijoo says that he has been portrayed as “a sexist” who believes that “women have to stop working and stay at home.” and he He reproaches him for calling Sánchez “frivolous” and “childish” for canceling his public agenda.
All this reveals, in his opinion, a “huge lack of humanity” and a “heart of stone.” “He has even made fun of something that moves millions of hearts, which is love,” he added. “In the president’s decision there is a political reflection, but there is also a lot of love,” he stated without blushing.
For Patxi López, defending Pedro Sánchez is “defending democracy, decency, dignity in politics.” “If lies and hatred prevail, there is no democracy,” he has proclaimed. The socialist spokesperson has not spoken with Pedro Sánchez since the letter yrHe refuses to speculate about the decision he will make. “This battle of courage and hope is worth fighting,” he stated.
And that will be the message that the PSOE wants to give in its Federal Committee this Saturday, in which the lists for the European elections in June will not finally be approved: “We are not willing for this strategy of defamation, of absolute emptiness, to triumph.”
