Perhaps one day Feijóo will be president of the Spanish government, but for now, it doesn't seem like he's going to get there. He continues to be a gray, sad opposition leader, incapable of generating enthusiasm or hitting the right strategy, dependent on Vox's crutch. He had asked for Junts' support for a motion of no confidence, Turull brushed him off by telling him that if he wanted to talk about it, he should go to Waterloo to meet with the party's president and, of course, Feijóo had no choice but to dismiss the offer. The PP would never let him speak with Puigdemont, so, as Rajoy would say, "end of quote." But, apart from his frustrated move, Feijóo spoke at the Cercle d'Economia and said the following: "Catalonia should not continue aspiring to achieve things either by coercion or by collision, but by conviction." What a beautiful sentence, if it weren't for its great hypocrisy. I can imagine that when he talks about "collision" he is referring to the Procés and October 1st. But I wonder what Mr. Feijóo calls "coercion." Is negotiating when people's votes have given you the power to be influential "coercion?" And what conviction can be displayed when nothing that Catalonia proposes is acceptable in principle? We only need to see the rejection by the autonomies governed by the PP to accept the financing model proposed by Esquerra that benefits them all because the Spanish government will put billions of euros more into it.

This afternoon, the Government and education unions are meeting, to see if they can reach an agreement to call off the mobilizations that continue to be scheduled for the coming weeks and until the end of the school year. The Government has proposed advancing by one year the salary increase agreed with UGT and CCOO, more money for tutoring allowances, and a reinforcement of staff for inclusive schools. Positions are far apart. The conflict seems far from being resolved. However, the Government breathes more calmly after securing the 'yes' from Esquerra to the budgets.But the political news continues to be strongly conditioned by Zapatero's indictment, which has fallen like a bomb on Sánchez's government. Because Zapatero was, as Feijóo told Sánchez this morning, "his moral compass." In the control session of the Spanish government in the Congress of Deputies, a defensive Sánchez was seen. Listening to him, whether he was answering Feijóo or Rufián, it seems clear that Zapatero's indictment is already hitting the government's core, that there are not many more arguments left in Moncloa to defend themselves, and that it is now all about repeating that the elections will be next year and will not be brought forward.Where does this impression come from? Well, from the fact that instead of convincingly denying any possibility of corruption, Sánchez recalled Zapatero's merits: that he ended ETA, that he took Spain out of the Iraq war, that he got same-sex marriage approved… Even, Sánchez has brought out the worn-out card of Feijóo's photos on a narco's boat, in Galicia, years ago. And Feijóo has felt brave enough to twist Aznar's call to action (“he who can, let him do it”) and has transformed it into “he who can, let him steal”.Then it was Rufián's turn to ask, who with a desolate tone, as if someone in his family had died, almost implored Sánchez to give “some answer”. To Zapatero, the man who defeated the PP against all odds that very tough weekend in March 2004, the populars really want him. But today, in Congress, the feeling has been that the imputation of justice has decimated the reserves of conviction, which were already meager, that remained in the Spanish left.Good morning.

The PP seeks unity among its members males Against the proposed new regional financing model agreed upon by three parties: ERC, the government of Salvador Illa, and that of Pedro Sánchez. The leader of the People's Party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, sought to project a united front with them this Sunday in response to the challenge issued by the Treasury. which has left it up to each community to decide whether to join a new model that means more resources for the majorityHe made these remarks from Zaragoza, during the pre-election campaign, with a speech in which he asserted that although the PP is not "against Catalonia," it is against a model that, in his view, introduces "privileges" for Catalans, was negotiated "in secret" with the independence movement, and violates "the principle of equality." "No Spaniard is more unique than another, therefore this separatist system is unacceptable," he said, referring to... to the unique financing model agreed between ERC and the PSC for the investiture of Salvador Illa, which, for the moment, has not materialized in the proposal presented a few days ago by the Minister of Finance.

This morning's refrain about the raffle drawing fat He has informed us that Nadal, now for real, is here.

This morning there has been The last question time session of the year in the government of Pedro Sánchez and Feijóo has been harshly criticized for the Salazar caseAs the scandals surrounding Sánchez are growing at a remarkable pace, let me refresh your memory: Paco Salazar was a trusted confidant of Sánchez, helping him in the Socialist primaries in Andalusia, bringing him to the Moncloa Palace, and even being on the ballot to become the PSOE's organizational secretary, but he didn't get the position because of sexual harassment by some female colleagues. The accusations were swept under the rug until they resurfaced, forcing the PSOE to apologize. Of course, when you add to a party that already has a former minister in prison for frequenting brothels the sexual harassment allegations against a man close to Sánchez, Sánchez's feminism is called into question. That's why Feijóo attacked him this morning.

To begin with, it has been confirmed what we reported last Thursday: the transfer of all tax revenue to the Catalan Tax Agency (Agència Tributària de Catalunya) was stalled in negotiations between Esquerra Republicana (ERC), the Spanish government, and the Spanish government. The rest of the negotiations, especially those aimed at determining the revenue increase, were progressing well, but the Catalan Tax Agency was resisting. The transfer of tax revenue to the Catalan Tax Agency presents a twofold obstacle. First, technically, because it raises concerns about the power of the Spanish Treasury and transferring it to another administration. And second, politically. The Treasury is a state institution, and tax inspectors oppose the transfer, partly because they believe Sánchez's fall is imminent, which would also bring down the entire negotiation process.

On Wednesdays, at ten o'clock at night, La 2 broadcasts again First look, a documentary series in which Lara Siscar interviews journalists to discuss their careers and reflect on the profession. The effectiveness of each episode depends, above all, on the interest aroused by the protagonist. On the RTVE Play platform, some episodes arouse curiosity and others that you don't even bother to start. The second season kicked off with a double broadcast. The episode dedicated to Silvia Intxaurrondo is well worth a look. Beyond learning about the professional career of the best political interviewer currently on the television scene, the program allows you to discover the behind-the-scenes of political pressure, electoral interviews, and the effects they have on the results. Intxaurrondo interviewed Alberto Núñez Feijóo during the campaign for the 2023 general elections. That broadcast on La 1 had a stellar moment that went viral and caused a lot of tension in multiple offices, both at public television and at the headquarters of the Popular Party. When the journalist asked him about pensions, Feijóo asserted that his party was the only one that had never stopped revaluing them with the CPI, the exact opposite of what the PSOE had done. Intxaurrondo interrupted him: "That's not correct, Mr. Feijóo.", and corrected the information based on the verified documentation she had available. It was a very tense moment, because the politician urged her to review the data and demanded that she correct it. But he was the one who ended up apologizing on social media and admitting the error. Since then, Intxaurrondo has been the victim of campaigns discrediting her as a journalist. First look It reveals to us what happened around this circumstance beyond the screen.
