Feijóo on Sánchez: "You would even make a pact with Netanyahu to stay in power."

Madrid"You don't defend any noble cause, you just want to cover up your shame." This was just one of the many barbs that the leader of the People's Party (PP), Alberto Núñez Feijóo, threw at the Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, during the face-to-face meeting in the Congress of Deputies in the control session this Wednesday, which was marked by Israel's offensive on Gaza and the resulting diplomatic crisis between the Spanish executive and the government of Benjamin Netanyahu.

In this way, the PP leader has sought a way out of the impasse in which the Spanish government has placed him for days by urging him and the party to speak openly about a genocide in Gaza. Yesterday, Tuesday, the PP spokesperson in Congress, Ester Muñoz, considered that a genocide was taking place in Gaza: "It is a resolution that three people from the UN have made," affirmed Muñoz. During the face-to-face meeting, Sánchez returned, and Feijóo chose to imply that the Spanish president is using the Palestinian cause to cover up his problems: "It's a smokescreen" so that, in the opinion of the leader of the Popular Party, the focus is not on the instability surrounding the legislature and issues such as the lack of budget for the judiciary. "You would even make a pact with Netanyahu to stay in power," Feijóo told Sánchez.

In the Moncloa government, they believe the PP is "disoriented" regarding the conflict and exemplify that they are incapable of verbalizing that a "genocide" is taking place in Gaza. This Wednesday was the first time that Feijóo has spoken of a "massacre in Gaza." "Save the lessons in humanity," he rebuked Sánchez.

The Spanish president not only used the speech to reaffirm his forcefulness against Israel's attacks in the Strip, but also made a complete correction to the idea of a lack of stability in the state. "During these seven years [of government] there have been seven prime ministers in France, six in Austria, and five in the United Kingdom, and when we talk about national [Spanish] politics, the truth is that you are the third leader of the PP. [...] This is a government that governs with stability and effectiveness," Sánchez defended.

Israel has already begun the ground offensive on Gaza City, and this Tuesday The UN has concluded that it is committing genocide against the Palestinian people. Brussels will also present its proposal for a resolution today. partial suspension of the association agreement with IsraelIn this context, the central government is finalizing the package of measures against Benjamin Netanyahu's government for the genocide in Gaza.

Sánchez avoids a direct clash with Junts

But in this stability of the legislature, and in key matters such as new public accounts for 2026, the investiture partners play a key role, and in particular Junts and Podemos, who have become a thorn in Sánchez's side, putting him on the ropes in more than one vote in the Congress of Deputies.

The interpellation of Junts spokesperson in Madrid, Míriam Nogueras, has served as a thermometer of the relationship between the PSOE and Carles Puigdemont's party. The tension between the junts and the Spanish government, essentially with Sumar, escalated last week due to the negative vote. from the Catalan party to the reduction of the working day and returned yesterday Tuesday, when Junts He defeated the creation of an anti-corruption agency with the PP and Vox.

"He believes he will be able to continue governing [if he does not comply with the agreements]," warned the spokesperson for Junts in Madrid, Miriam Nogueres, in Sánchez. However, the head of the Spanish executive has avoided a direct clash with the junts, unlike what the second vice president and Minister of Labor, Yolanda Díaz, did after seeing how the reduction of the working day was derailed by her No"Our will is to comply with the Brussels Agreements," Sánchez asserted, not hesitating to affirm that he trusts the amnesty can be applied to "all those affected" by the events of 2017. That is, also to the former president and leader of Junts, Carles Puigdemont.

However, the tone was more intense with Podemos, and its leading figure, Ione Belarra, who chose to question the First Vice President and Minister of Finance (PSOE), María Jesús Montero, with whom relations are not particularly fluid. The purple party accused the Spanish government of being short-changed in its measures against the Israeli government. "Why haven't they broken diplomatic relations with Israel? Why were they on the wrong side of history?" asserted Belarra, who accused the Socialists of engaging in "cheap electioneering." "No one understands your position, neither on this issue nor on others," Montero replied, pointing out that Belarra was "the only person in the international community who thinks Spain has been lukewarm on Gaza." "You may have a political strategy, but don't lie," she rebuked him.
