Coalición Canaria reproaches Sánchez for his tone with partners in Congress: "it was a quite disappointing appearance"

The deputy considers that the tone used by the president with his partners during last Wednesday's appearance has been “very inappropriate” and she reproaches him for not having given an answer to the questions related to the cases affecting both his political and family environment.

Furthermore, she pointed out Sánchez for acting as “victim of accusations” and for, as she has stated, shifting the responsibility for what happened to others, instead of accepting the criticism. Valido has summarized the intervention as “a rather disappointing appearance.”

From Ferraz, they consider the president's intervention as a message of tranquility and stability

Parliamentary journalists waited before eight in the morning, the time of the opening of Congress, to access the interior. The wait, longer than usual and at such an early hour, showed that it was not just any Wednesday. It was the day set on the calendar for the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, to give explanations about corruption.

“The question is not whether we should continue, but how we are not going to continue,” affirmed the President of the Government in his first intervention. Beyond the references to corruption cases, the message was interpreted as a warning both to the interior of the PSOE and to parliamentary partners.

In Ferraz, they positively value the intervention of the President of the Government, who is also the Secretary General of the PSOE. Although they admit that “Madrid generates its own noise” due to corruption, they consider that this climate is not what is experienced in territories outside the capital and see it as positive that Sánchez instilled encouragement in the organization.

In this regard, the same sources highlight the “forceful political message” being prepared for next Saturday's Federal Committee and which will be addressed to the militancy. Although an almost unanimous closing of ranks around Pedro Sánchez is expected, the most dissenting voice will again be that of the president of Castilla-La Mancha, Emiliano García-Page, critical in recent months of the party leadership.

The backdrop of the conclave will once again be corruption. Exactly one year ago, the last Federal Committee was already marked by information affecting the then Secretary of Organization, Santos Cerdán, today under investigation. Twelve months later, the PSOE arrives at a new internal meeting again conditioned by corruption cases, this time after the Supreme Court ruling affecting former minister José Luis Ábalos. A context that threatens to overshadow the message of unity that the socialist leadership wants to convey to its members.
