[00:00:00] to work day by day in the group, the activism of [00:00:03] civil society, in town halls, in [00:00:05] parliaments, in governments to transform society, and 50 years [00:00:09] later we have a freer, more egalitarian, more [00:00:12] fraternal society, strengthening community ties, this is what we must [00:00:15] also do, comrades, today: clear [00:00:19] ideas, attitude, [00:00:22] commitment and will to [00:00:25] do it, to advance socialist values more than ever. [00:00:39] progress and the PP and Vox in [00:01:14] Salvador Illa referred to the beginning of this political course, a [00:01:17] complex social context, he defended the measures [00:01:21] approved by the Generalitat government and by the central government [00:01:24] in favor of, for example, housing and now he [00:01:28] speaks. [00:01:38] members of the PSC, good morning [00:01:40] areas of Ponent, also of the Ebro mayors, councilors of the PSC, it is a [00:01:44] source of pride to be here with you sharing this Sunday [00:01:47] morning, [00:01:52] towards the area of another year [00:01:55] starting the political course also with [00:01:58] thanks. Thanks from the Spanish Socialist [00:02:01] Workers' Party, and also mine as general secretary of the Socialist [00:02:05] Party, because listening to the mayor, also listening to the [00:02:08] President of the Generalitat, it is clear to me that [00:02:12] something that I think was very evident, very [00:02:15] dreamed of, but that had not really [00:02:18] materialized until 2024, is that the Catalonia of [00:02:22] 2026 looks much more like the Catalonia that [00:02:25] the Catalans have always wanted, a land [00:02:28] that today makes headlines in the media [00:02:32] for what it creates, for what it [00:02:35] builds, for what it raises and not for [00:02:39] confrontation, confrontation with other territories and with [00:02:42] the Spanish government. This is the great [00:02:45] contribution of the Catalan Socialists with [00:02:49] Salvadorilla at the head of the PSC, having [00:02:53] made politics a useful tool [00:02:56] for ordinary people. To contribute. [00:03:29] their vote. Against the years of paralysis that Catalonia has experienced, [00:03:33] also against Spain's reforms during the long years [00:03:36] after the financial crisis of 2010 and [00:03:40] 2011. Look, I think Salva, [00:03:43] Salvador, President Illa has achieved something [00:03:47] that the right and far-right, both in Catalonia and [00:03:50] in Spain, do not conceive, is that one can [00:03:53] govern without needing to have [00:03:57] enemies. [00:04:02] to be the task, what [00:04:04] really matters, the education of our children, the [00:04:08] health of our elders, the dependency [00:04:11] of the elders, to turn Catalonia into a pole of [00:04:14] reindustrialization, a reference also for new [00:04:17] technologies, whether quantum computing, whether artificial [00:04:20] intelligence, to be a backbone of a [00:04:24] cohesive Spain, of a [00:04:27] socio-economic shield in united Spain, to the task, the task of... [00:04:39] Catalonia becomes the scene of beating Valencia, current league champions, [00:04:53] Because it is incomprehensible, I have said it on many occasions, no, here there are many parents, fathers and mothers of families, no, who [00:04:57] are mortgaged, who have your mortgage for your apartment, imagine [00:05:01] that you go to your branch, [00:05:04] only seeks a photo of the you meet with the bank manager and he or she proposes [00:05:07] to reduce the mortgage payment that you will have to pay for [00:05:10] the next few years and you say [00:05:13] no, [00:05:15] and you get home and tell your family that you said no to the [00:05:19] branch manager because you didn't want them to forgive [00:05:22] the mortgage, well that's what they are voting for when they vote [00:05:26] against the Popular Party and Vox, they vote [00:05:29] against having more economic resources to be able to [00:05:33] finance the public services of the autonomous [00:05:36] communities, but well, that's up to them because [00:05:39] there are other parties. the duty, the [00:05:43] responsibility to vote in favor, to alleviate the financial [00:05:47] debt burden of the autonomous communities and, of course, [00:05:51] yes, to vote in favor of a new autonomous [00:05:54] financing system that will give the autonomous [00:05:57] communities more than 21 million euros to [00:06:01] strengthen public health, public education, the national [00:06:04] dependency system, the self-government of each and every one of the [00:06:08] autonomous communities. [00:06:13] because that is what the Spanish government wants to do, which is the only one, by the way, that loses in [00:06:17] this financing system, because we are going to have to give up 21 [00:06:20] million euros in favor of the autonomous communities, that is what [00:06:24] the Spanish government intends, to give more resources to the [00:06:27] autonomous communities so that there are fewer waiting [00:06:31] lists, [00:06:40] so you will have us there, always defending [00:06:42] this diverse Spain, each and every one of the autonomous communities and [00:06:46] also the autonomous cities, such as, for example, [00:06:49] Ceuta and also Melilla. [00:06:51] Look, each new crisis, and we have had quite a few [00:06:55] for 8 years now, a new [00:06:58] disloyalty from the Popular Party and [00:07:00] Vox, what they are, what they are is [00:07:04] that the worse it [00:07:08] goes, the better they think for Spain, [00:07:11] that things go badly for Spain. and we have had a few years now where this [00:07:15] discourse is recurrent, like Groundhog Day, the [00:07:17] economic crisis they sponsored came, saying that the [00:07:21] economic policies of the progressive coalition government would cause the [00:07:25] economy to collapse, and we have been [00:07:28] growing for 5 years above [00:07:31] 2%, quadrupling the economic [00:07:34] growth figure of the eurozone and being [00:07:38] one of the main economies that grows the most in such a [00:07:41] complex context. [00:07:50] on the 66% increase in the minimum interprofessional [00:07:53] wage, that the labor market would also collapse, and we have [00:07:56] 22.5 million workers contributing to social [00:07:59] security, more than 10 million women contributing and [00:08:02] working in social security, what [00:08:06] did they tell us about pensions, but what are you going to do, [00:08:09] you are going to revalue them according to the CPI, that will be? the breakdown of the [00:08:13] single social security fund and it turns out [00:08:17] that we are revaluing pensions according to the CPI and that we are [00:08:20] filling the pension fund and we are going to end this legislature with [00:08:24] more than 15 billion euros in the social security [00:08:28] reserve fund, and what did they say about the pandemic, that they were going to be [00:08:32] a disaster, there they are, there were the vaccinations [00:08:35] thanks to an extraordinary minister of health like Salvador Illa [00:08:39] and also the recovery funds that we achieved for [00:08:43] Spain and that are driving the great [00:08:46] transformation and the great digital and green [00:08:48] reindustrialization of our economies, and what did they say about [00:08:51] pardons and [00:08:54] amnesty, that they were going to break Catalonia even more, [00:08:57] and today we have Salvador Illa as President of the [00:09:00] Generalitat of Catalonia and many mayors [00:09:04] in many municipalities throughout [00:09:07] Catalonia. [00:09:10] Every new crisis. a new disloyalty from the [00:09:14] Popular Party and Vox, but also a new commitment from the Spanish [00:09:18] government. I said it these days, on July 30th and 31st, when [00:09:22] I visited Ceuta, the Spanish government will put all the necessary [00:09:26] resources to restore normality to [00:09:30] that autonomous city. Note that in this border [00:09:33] crisis, we have put in place the largest [00:09:39] Ceuta's history, with 309 million [00:09:43] euros, 80 million euros, equivalent to [00:09:46] 4% of the gross domestic product, before the end of the [00:09:49] year, at the beginning of October, self-employed and small [00:09:52] business owners receiving direct transfers from the Spanish [00:09:55] government, strengthening the border and providing a [00:09:59] dignified response to the people suffering from this [00:10:03] humanitarian crisis. That is our commitment, the [00:10:06] commitment that Ceuta will get ahead with the [00:10:09] strong commitment of the Spanish government. despite [00:10:13] this destructive opposition, which [00:10:17] crisis, but does not want to resolve the Ceuta [00:10:19] crisis. [00:10:25] As always, [00:10:28] in each and every one of the crises we have experienced, [00:10:31] pandemics, energy crises in Ukraine and [00:10:34] Iran, storms, fires, even [00:10:37] a volcano on the island of La Palma, always the same [00:10:41] litany, the worse the better, [00:10:43] look, yes, yes, yes, they are two acronyms, but [00:10:47] the same agenda, an agenda of involution, of [00:10:50] cuts, two weeks ago a [00:10:54] very serious event occurred, [00:10:57] which unfortunately undermines our democracy, is that the [00:11:01] Supreme Court accepted some precautionary measures to [00:11:05] suspend the vote of 400,000 Spaniards living [00:11:08] abroad, the Supreme Court will have to [00:11:12] resolve it and I am not going to question a [00:11:15] decision that I clearly do not share, let's wait [00:11:19] for the final ruling, but I will not forgive a... [00:11:23] Popular Party and Vox, who were the ones who filed this appeal with the [00:11:26] Supreme Court, [00:11:29] because [00:11:34] look, [00:11:34] this law, which is the Democratic [00:11:38] Memory Law, which is a justice law [00:11:42] to compensate the descendants of exiles [00:11:46] due to the Civil War and the Franco [00:11:49] dictatorship, the right to Spanish [00:11:53] nationality and consequently the right to vote, this law was [00:11:57] approved in 2022, it came into [00:11:59] force in 2022 and since 2022 we have had a [00:12:03] few regional elections, some [00:12:06] general elections in 2023 and the [00:12:09] right never raised a problem with the Democratic Memory Law [00:12:13] until now when it was raised and demanded by [00:12:16] Bascal and Vox, this [00:12:19] is the question and look closer, if you look [00:12:22] back from the present [00:12:27] to this last decade or even a little [00:12:30] further back when the Popular Party governed, [00:12:33] the right to nationality was recognized for the [00:12:36] descendants of the Sephardic Jews who [00:12:39] were expelled by our ancestors in [00:12:42] 1492, [00:12:44] and that right to nationality naturally entailed [00:12:47] the right to vote this past [00:12:50] week in the Congress of Deputies. We have begun the [00:12:54] process to recognize nationality and the right to vote, consequently, for the [00:12:57] Saharawi population. [00:13:01] In both cases, the Socialist Party voted [00:13:05] in favor. In the case of the Sephardic Jews, the Popular [00:13:07] Party voted in favor. In the case of the Saharawis, it voted [00:13:11] abstention, but the Democratic Memory Law, which recognizes [00:13:14] Spanish nationality for the [00:13:18] descendants of exiles and those repressed by [00:13:21] Francoism, the Popular Party voted [00:13:25] against it. [00:13:25] and the question is, [00:13:32] is there anyone, is there anyone who understands it, it's that everything is [00:13:35] understood and that's the problem, well, [00:13:39] I tell Bascal, Feijóo, [00:13:43] Feijóo to Bascal, [00:13:46] that the vote is protected and [00:13:49] exercised, and that is what these Spanish men and women are going to do, hopefully, with [00:13:54] We will not accept first-class and [00:14:04] second-class citizens because we have third-class [00:14:07] candidates, such as the candidates of the Popular Party [00:14:11] and the candidates of Vox, but in any [00:14:14] case, in any case, comrades, they are [00:14:17] in the same car, they share [00:14:20] the same route and the same judgments, [00:14:24] privatizations, confrontation, also [00:14:28] lack of respect, lack of education, [00:14:31] the other day, the spokesman for the Popular [00:14:35] Party executive, I don't know if you saw it, president, he said that [00:14:39] when he governed, if he ever governed, which I hope not, and we [00:14:43] will work for it, Feijóo with Abascal, insults [00:14:45] and bad manners would be [00:14:48] banished, [00:14:52] well, of course. No, but if that's how things are, the [00:14:56] alternative for Catalans and Spaniards, the [00:15:00] truth is that it's quite complicated, because it's a fright or [00:15:02] death, of course, when they are in [00:15:06] opposition they insult and when they are in government [00:15:08] they cut, so I tell you, I prefer them to insult me while in [00:15:12] opposition than for Spaniards to suffer cuts while in [00:15:15] government, [00:15:23] let them insult all they want. [00:15:43] Hey, they've been, they've been like Groundhog Day for 8 [00:15:46] years asking for early elections, always [00:15:50] elections, every day asking for elections, but [00:15:54] Spain has not been dormant during these years, on the contrary, it has advanced a lot [00:15:57] in growth, in job creation, in transformation, in social cohesion, in [00:16:01] coexistence, in international [00:16:02] projection, [00:16:05] that is what we have done. [00:16:07] and that's why I tell you, 8 years of social progress, another year left until [00:16:11] 2027, and then 4 more years of social [00:16:17] opposition, [00:16:17] because we have many things to [00:16:22] resolve, we have a lot of work [00:16:25] ahead of us, our political project does not end in [00:16:28] 2027 but looks further to 2030 in the [00:16:32] field of energy transformation, of adaptation [00:16:35] to climate change, of social cohesion, [00:16:39] of territorial diversity, housing [00:16:42] policy, which we all have to do a lot, [00:16:45] and not the housing policy of the [00:16:49] PP, which you know is the penthouse [00:16:52] policy of [00:16:53] Ayuso, [00:16:57] no, no, yes, [00:17:00] hey, the other day Mrs. [00:17:03] Ayuso in a lapse said, my [00:17:06] public money, [00:17:09] no, no, not my public money, [00:17:12] 6 million euros that have been spent on Mrs. [00:17:16] Ayuso's penthouse, 6 million euros with 200 [00:17:19] square meters of terrace, [00:17:23] 6 million, 200 square meters of terrace, 20 pages or 200 [00:17:26] pages of explanations later, we still don't know [00:17:29] the official version of the Popular Party, Mrs. Ayuso said it was an official [00:17:33] office, Mr. Feijóo said it was an official residence, it remains to be seen what he will say... [00:17:46] but yes, Mrs. Ayuso has made it clear to us that [00:17:49] she didn't really like fruit, what she really [00:17:53] likes are penthouses, what an obsession she has and [00:17:56] what submission Mr. Feijóo [00:17:59] has, of course, [00:18:02] because the debate here is not why the Popular Party is already demanding [00:18:06] Mrs. Ayuso's resignation, the [00:18:09] debate, the debate is why he doesn't [00:18:12] do it, of course, because the penthouse [00:18:16] exposes Mr. Ayuso, but the silence exposes [00:18:19] Mr. [00:18:20] Feijóo, [00:18:29] so we are going to win the municipal elections next [00:18:33] May 2027 and we are going to [00:18:36] win the general elections next year 2027 and [00:18:40] I will tell you something, I will tell you something, when we [00:18:43] win them, we know what the Popular Party and Vox will do the next day, ask for [00:18:47] early elections and we will remind them that when [00:18:51] the left governs, legislatures also last [00:18:54] 4 years until 2031 and [00:18:57] beyond, let's go for [00:18:59] victory. [00:19:07] The General Secretary of the PSOE has assured that his legislature will continue until [00:19:11] next year until the general elections of [00:19:14] 2027, that he is willing, he says, to win, [00:19:17] he has harshly criticized the PP and Vox for being against, for example, the [00:19:21] reduction of the debt of the autonomous communities, [00:19:24] also the increase in the budget for these communities, [00:19:28] he has defended the measures approved by his government, including amnesty and [00:19:31] pardons, he has also defended the management he is doing of the Ceuta [00:19:35] crisis, he says, with a millionaire investment to provide assistance to migrants and [00:19:38] the increase in border surveillance. He has criticized [00:19:42] the opposition of the PP and Vox for being against the so-called [00:19:45] "Law of Grandchildren", which grants the right to vote to [00:19:49] 400,000 descendants of Spaniards who are [00:19:52] abroad because they were exiled during the war. He has also brought up the [00:19:55] controversy of Jusso's penthouse. And with the summary [00:19:59] of what he has spoken about, what the [00:20:14] Catalan offers you this space. [00:29:33] is a constant factory of inequality, it is [00:29:36] evident that there are two models here, not only of society, [00:29:39] but also of how to understand what country you want, right? Catalonia Madrid, the [00:30:24] Carles Puigdemont assures that when he can return to Catalonia, the first thing he will do [00:30:28] is listen to the territory to decide his political future, he said it in [00:30:32] a... magazine the British newspaper The Sunday Times which is published [00:30:35] today. [00:30:41] the beginning of the political pre-campaign with acts with the [00:30:45] socialist and popular leaders. At the PSC's [00:30:48] rose festival, Pedro Sánchez criticizes Feijóo and [00:30:51] Abascal because they appear only when they need electoral [00:30:55] gains.
