For Teresa Riberathe European elections this Sunday involve a plebiscite on the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo. This is how he defended it this Wednesday in the ‘SER Chain‘, already immersed in the final stretch of the campaign, warning that the PP “is making the same mistake” by assuming that he will sweep the elections and having “flirted” again with the extreme right.

“It was assumed that there was going to be an overwhelming victory of the PP and I think they were very saddened by the lack of an absolute majority between the right and the extreme right,” the head of the PSOE list told the European Parliament.

In his opinion, “one of the big problems” of the ‘popular’ is “not having understood that the alliance with the extreme right is something that the rest of Spanish democratic society does not fully understand” and “now you are making the same mistake“.

“They thought they were 10 points ahead, that they were going to overwhelm them,” he recalled. Now, she has added, “once again they have flirted with the extreme right” and, although “it remains to be seen what happens”, in his opinion there is “a very good part of Spanish society that continues to think that this is not the Europe it wants.”

In this sense, Ribera has stressed that “The question now is what Europe do we want?” and has asserted that “this possibility of adding a rising far-right with a right that flirts with the far-right is bad for the whole of European society, for the European project” and “for the European soul, for building bridges, for coexistence, expansion of rights and freedoms”.

“The PP is not recognized as that Christian democratic party convinced that we must build bridges and build Europe, but that we find a normalization of an extreme right“apparently good according to your criteria,” he criticized, pointing out that it intends to “cut Europe” and build borders and walls.

“That is what is being questioned: not the Presidency of the Government of Spain, but the model of Europe what we want”, Ribera concluded, insisting on the aspirations of the PP: “I am convinced that the PSOE is going to win, but what is clearer than water at this point in the campaign is that Those 10 points you dreamed of are very far away of being able to become a reality,” he concluded.
