Alma Ezcurra, Deputy Secretary of Sectoral Coordination for the PP, took advantage of this Monday's National Day to call for a government "worthy of Spaniards" and to link the day to a direct reproach to Pedro Sánchez.
The popular spokesperson, in a video sent to the media, maintained that Spain celebrates today "what we share" —history, culture, and coexistence—, but added that this unity will only have a future if it translates into political change. "There is no better way to love Spain than to give it a government worthy of Spaniards," she affirmed.
Ezcurra assured that "the street has already shown that it cannot stand this Prime Minister," in reference to the boos and insults Sánchez received at the parade, although she immediately clarified that this anger alone is not enough. "Outbursts are useless," she said, if afterwards no one goes to vote or if everyone, from wherever they are, does not work to change the Executive and put "an honest president at the head of the nation."
With this approach, the PP leader tried to convert the protest into political discipline, although she kept the message in terms of mobilization for the polls. In that vein, she defended: "We can be tired, we can be angry, and we have reasons to express that anger, but a country does not change merely by expressing its indignation."

In her reading, the country changes when citizens take responsibility for their future, and next November 29 would be the occasion for "no one to divide us again."
Tribute to those who sustain the country and warning to the Government
The popular leader paid tribute to those who work, take risks to create jobs, care for and serve Spain, also from the Armed Forces and so many public services; in addition, she highlighted the effort of those who raise a family and those who do not give up when things get difficult, emphasizing that nothing has been given away and the value of sacrifice.
From this idea, the PP defended that no Government, no party, and no political moment is above a nation that, according to Ezcurra, has been overcoming difficulties for centuries. She also called for "coexistence, exemplarity, and hope" and closed with a demand for "national reconstruction," arguing that institutions must be "up to the task" of citizens and that the effort of millions "is worth it."
