Government President Pedro Sánchez, while accusing the management of the regionally powerful PP, also accused opposition leader Alberto Nuñez Feijo of “covering up” Carlos Massón in the Valencian Community after the attack and of being “silent” in front of Madrid Community President Isabel Díaz Ayuso (accusing him of giving preferential treatment to her family situation during the pandemic). And about lies during the breast cancer screening crisis. It affects the government of Juanma Moreno in Andalusia.
He also blamed Extremadura President Maria Guardiola, who called for early elections in the region, and Castilla y León President Alfonso Fernández Manieco for this summer’s devastating fires during his turn to answer this Wednesday’s Congress of Deputies.
Continuing on the same line as his first intervention, Mr. Sánchez accused the PP community of applying cuts to public services, which in his opinion is also a form of “corruption”, and focused on Mr. Feiju.
Did Mazon call from his cabin?
First of all, he accused the PP’s national leadership of keeping Mr. Mazon informed “in real time” in the afternoon of Dana Day, October 29, 2024.
“So how do you explain that the first call between you and the President of the Valencian Community was recorded at 9:27 p.m. on October 29, when most of the deaths had already occurred? Can you tell me, Mr. Feijo? Did you call from a telephone booth?” he asked.
For Sanchez, the explanation is that both Mazon and Feijot “lied.” “They started lying on the 30th and didn’t stop lying for a year after that,” he stressed, criticizing Mazon for saying in January 2025 that he was doing a great job and “a week later” saying Mazon was “knocked out.”
Feijo “Responsible for the Tragedy”
“You always lie,” Sánchez told Feijo, calling again for local elections, adding: “Let the people of Valencia speak and don’t agree with the Vox naysayers.” He therefore considers Mr. Feijo to be “co-responsible for the tragedy” and accuses Mr. Mazon of “covering up” for “personal gain.”
Sánchez brought up the cancer screening crisis in Andalusia again, which he described as “the biggest health scandal in our country in decades” and accused the Popular Party of “denying, lying and interrogating all the victims, calling them socialists.”
He believes that the PP has failed not only in the management of this matter, but also in “humanity and decency”, and instead of acknowledging this “mistake” and asking for forgiveness, it is intent on “lies” and “infantilizing” the victims, saying they did not notify them of the failure to avoid anxiety. “What a humiliation, what a shame,” he said.
Ayuso Chiron tribe
The chief executive again attacked Ayuso, accusing him of privatizing public services and pointing out that he has transferred 7.142 billion euros to companies in the health sector since he was president. He also accused her of benefitting the family environment.
Sanchez asserted that “her brother, ex-lover, father and mother” benefited from contracts and fees worth €5 million, with some of the money used to pay for a “luxury penthouse” where the “popular” leader himself lived. “It’s certainly a circular economy, and it’s not something that environmentalists champion,” he said sarcastically.
“The Ayuso-Kiron family is making money at everyone’s expense,” he said, while Feijo was intent on “sitting back and turning a blind eye.” He questioned the party’s leadership.
“Mr. Feijo, I think I understand the situation in Madrid. I don’t blame you, because we both know that you have less command over the Madrid community than Jar Jar Binks of the Galactic Senate,” he began, referring to the Star Wars character.
Manueco and Guardiola
He also reserved criticism for last summer’s fire crisis against President Castilla y León, who declared that both Manueco and Feijo “failed to do their job.” “They weren’t there, so they weren’t at the scene of the fire,” he said, accusing him of cutting investment in forest protection in the region by 20%.
On this same issue, he says, in Extremadura, the PP president handed over the forest management department to Vox, leaving 60% of the budget unfunded.
Finally, he accused Guardiola of giving 65 million euros in tax cuts to the highest earners, while denying food and transport scholarships to 7,100 students, and cutting teaching positions, leaving the region in the fourth position with the least investment in education in the country.
