The ministers of the socialist wing of the Government have come out in force this Monday to support the dilemma that the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, has put to the Spanish people with the early election on November 29, and have shown their conviction that the PSOE will once again be the chosen option against the “involution” that, in their opinion, PP and Vox represent.
The Minister Spokesperson and head of Inclusion, Elma Saiz, has summarized this approach in a message on X in which she wrote: “The noise is over. We have governed. We have advanced. And on 29N we will continue to do so.” Saiz has also defended that “good politics is what excites and mobilizes for what really matters: housing, rights, social justice,” and has assured that the Executive will “give its all” because “it is worth it.”
Bolaños, Puente and López place the event in terms of continuity or setback
The Minister of the Presidency, Justice and Relations with the Cortes, Félix Bolaños, also expressed his conviction of victory, accompanying his message on social media with an image of Quintus Tullius Cicero’s book Commentariolum Petitionis. “A classic. Just as it is a classic for Pedro to come back and leave PPVox (dis)composed and without a Government,” he affirmed.
Bolaños went a step further by giving a “spoiler” and predicting that “on 29N the PSOE will be the leading force because citizens will vote for those who defend them against those who, if they can, harm them.”
In the same vein, the Minister of Transport, Óscar Puente, summarized the election in a formula that contrasts “voting with H for housing or with V for vulture,” while the head of Digital Transformation and Public Function, Óscar López, defended that “it is time to choose” the country that Spaniards want “against the indignity of the penthouses, the dignity of the streets; against involution, more rights.”
Calls to continue advancing in rights and to mobilize the electorate
The Minister of Territorial Policy, Ángel Víctor Torres, stated that in the election “there are two options: continue advancing in rights for the social majority or put the future of the country in the hands of those who betray the people and only work for those who have the most.” Torres warned that “we are risking everything,” assured that “it is worth continuing to fight” and promised that the Government will “give its all.”
For his part, the Minister of Industry, Jordi Hereu, summarized the scenario as an alternative between “advancing or retreating,” and warned that on 29N what is at stake is “continuing to expand rights and transform Spain or letting a retrograde right make us retreat.” Hereu also assured that the objective is to go “for a progressive majority.”
Housing, healthcare, education and the welfare state, at the core of the socialist message
The Minister of Housing wrote: “Either with the people, or with the vultures. For housing, healthcare, education... for your welfare state. Let's go to the polls to continue advancing with more strength.”
In the same vein, the Minister of Education, Milagros Tolón, defended that “the choice is clear: progressive democracy versus right-wing setbacks. Education versus bickering and insults.”
Also the Minister of Science, Diana Morant, closed ranks with the head of the Executive and wrote: “To win Pedro Sánchez.” Morant maintained that the Government has “shown that it can be done” and that now it is “going for more,” while, as leader of the PSPV, she encouraged the President of the Government to “win” the general elections on November 29.
The also Minister of Science and Universities concluded her message with an appeal to what has been done so far and what still remains to be conquered: “With the pride of all that we have done and our sights set on all that we can still conquer. We have shown that it can be done. And now we are going for more. We are ready. To win.”
