00:00:00to work day by day in the group, the activism of
00:00:03civil society, in town halls, in
00:00:05parliaments, in governments to transform society, and 50 years
00:00:09later we have a freer, more egalitarian, more
00:00:12fraternal society, strengthening community ties, this is what we must
00:00:15also do, comrades, today: clear
00:00:19ideas, attitude,
00:00:22commitment and will to
00:00:25do it, to advance socialist values more than ever.
00:00:39progress and the PP and Vox in
00:01:14Salvador Illa referred to the beginning of this political course, a
00:01:17complex social context, he defended the measures
00:01:21approved by the Generalitat government and by the central government
00:01:24in favor of, for example, housing and now he
00:01:28speaks.
00:01:38members of the PSC, good morning
00:01:40areas of Ponent, also of the Ebro mayors, councilors of the PSC, it is a
00:01:44source of pride to be here with you sharing this Sunday
00:01:47morning,
00:01:52towards the area of another year
00:01:55starting the political course also with
00:01:58thanks. Thanks from the Spanish Socialist
00:02:01Workers' Party, and also mine as general secretary of the Socialist
00:02:05Party, because listening to the mayor, also listening to the
00:02:08President of the Generalitat, it is clear to me that
00:02:12something that I think was very evident, very
00:02:15dreamed of, but that had not really
00:02:18materialized until 2024, is that the Catalonia of
00:02:222026 looks much more like the Catalonia that
00:02:25the Catalans have always wanted, a land
00:02:28that today makes headlines in the media
00:02:32for what it creates, for what it
00:02:35builds, for what it raises and not for
00:02:39confrontation, confrontation with other territories and with
00:02:42the Spanish government. This is the great
00:02:45contribution of the Catalan Socialists with
00:02:49Salvadorilla at the head of the PSC, having
00:02:53made politics a useful tool
00:02:56for ordinary people. To contribute.
00:03:29their vote. Against the years of paralysis that Catalonia has experienced,
00:03:33also against Spain's reforms during the long years
00:03:36after the financial crisis of 2010 and
00:03:402011. Look, I think Salva,
00:03:43Salvador, President Illa has achieved something
00:03:47that the right and far-right, both in Catalonia and
00:03:50in Spain, do not conceive, is that one can
00:03:53govern without needing to have
00:03:57enemies.
00:04:02to be the task, what
00:04:04really matters, the education of our children, the
00:04:08health of our elders, the dependency
00:04:11of the elders, to turn Catalonia into a pole of
00:04:14reindustrialization, a reference also for new
00:04:17technologies, whether quantum computing, whether artificial
00:04:20intelligence, to be a backbone of a
00:04:24cohesive Spain, of a
00:04:27socio-economic shield in united Spain, to the task, the task of...
00:04:39Catalonia becomes the scene of beating Valencia, current league champions,
00:04:53Because it is incomprehensible, I have said it on many occasions, no, here there are many parents, fathers and mothers of families, no, who
00:04:57are mortgaged, who have your mortgage for your apartment, imagine
00:05:01that you go to your branch,
00:05:04only seeks a photo of the you meet with the bank manager and he or she proposes
00:05:07to reduce the mortgage payment that you will have to pay for
00:05:10the next few years and you say
00:05:13no,
00:05:15and you get home and tell your family that you said no to the
00:05:19branch manager because you didn't want them to forgive
00:05:22the mortgage, well that's what they are voting for when they vote
00:05:26against the Popular Party and Vox, they vote
00:05:29against having more economic resources to be able to
00:05:33finance the public services of the autonomous
00:05:36communities, but well, that's up to them because
00:05:39there are other parties. the duty, the
00:05:43responsibility to vote in favor, to alleviate the financial
00:05:47debt burden of the autonomous communities and, of course,
00:05:51yes, to vote in favor of a new autonomous
00:05:54financing system that will give the autonomous
00:05:57communities more than 21 million euros to
00:06:01strengthen public health, public education, the national
00:06:04dependency system, the self-government of each and every one of the
00:06:08autonomous communities.
00:06:13because that is what the Spanish government wants to do, which is the only one, by the way, that loses in
00:06:17this financing system, because we are going to have to give up 21
00:06:20million euros in favor of the autonomous communities, that is what
00:06:24the Spanish government intends, to give more resources to the
00:06:27autonomous communities so that there are fewer waiting
00:06:31lists,
00:06:40so you will have us there, always defending
00:06:42this diverse Spain, each and every one of the autonomous communities and
00:06:46also the autonomous cities, such as, for example,
00:06:49Ceuta and also Melilla.
00:06:51Look, each new crisis, and we have had quite a few
00:06:55for 8 years now, a new
00:06:58disloyalty from the Popular Party and
00:07:00Vox, what they are, what they are is
00:07:04that the worse it
00:07:08goes, the better they think for Spain,
00:07:11that things go badly for Spain. and we have had a few years now where this
00:07:15discourse is recurrent, like Groundhog Day, the
00:07:17economic crisis they sponsored came, saying that the
00:07:21economic policies of the progressive coalition government would cause the
00:07:25economy to collapse, and we have been
00:07:28growing for 5 years above
00:07:312%, quadrupling the economic
00:07:34growth figure of the eurozone and being
00:07:38one of the main economies that grows the most in such a
00:07:41complex context.
00:07:50on the 66% increase in the minimum interprofessional
00:07:53wage, that the labor market would also collapse, and we have
00:07:5622.5 million workers contributing to social
00:07:59security, more than 10 million women contributing and
00:08:02working in social security, what
00:08:06did they tell us about pensions, but what are you going to do,
00:08:09you are going to revalue them according to the CPI, that will be? the breakdown of the
00:08:13single social security fund and it turns out
00:08:17that we are revaluing pensions according to the CPI and that we are
00:08:20filling the pension fund and we are going to end this legislature with
00:08:24more than 15 billion euros in the social security
00:08:28reserve fund, and what did they say about the pandemic, that they were going to be
00:08:32a disaster, there they are, there were the vaccinations
00:08:35thanks to an extraordinary minister of health like Salvador Illa
00:08:39and also the recovery funds that we achieved for
00:08:43Spain and that are driving the great
00:08:46transformation and the great digital and green
00:08:48reindustrialization of our economies, and what did they say about
00:08:51pardons and
00:08:54amnesty, that they were going to break Catalonia even more,
00:08:57and today we have Salvador Illa as President of the
00:09:00Generalitat of Catalonia and many mayors
00:09:04in many municipalities throughout
00:09:07Catalonia.
00:09:10Every new crisis. a new disloyalty from the
00:09:14Popular Party and Vox, but also a new commitment from the Spanish
00:09:18government. I said it these days, on July 30th and 31st, when
00:09:22I visited Ceuta, the Spanish government will put all the necessary
00:09:26resources to restore normality to
00:09:30that autonomous city. Note that in this border
00:09:33crisis, we have put in place the largest
00:09:39Ceuta's history, with 309 million
00:09:43euros, 80 million euros, equivalent to
00:09:464% of the gross domestic product, before the end of the
00:09:49year, at the beginning of October, self-employed and small
00:09:52business owners receiving direct transfers from the Spanish
00:09:55government, strengthening the border and providing a
00:09:59dignified response to the people suffering from this
00:10:03humanitarian crisis. That is our commitment, the
00:10:06commitment that Ceuta will get ahead with the
00:10:09strong commitment of the Spanish government. despite
00:10:13this destructive opposition, which
00:10:17crisis, but does not want to resolve the Ceuta
00:10:19crisis.
00:10:25As always,
00:10:28in each and every one of the crises we have experienced,
00:10:31pandemics, energy crises in Ukraine and
00:10:34Iran, storms, fires, even
00:10:37a volcano on the island of La Palma, always the same
00:10:41litany, the worse the better,
00:10:43look, yes, yes, yes, they are two acronyms, but
00:10:47the same agenda, an agenda of involution, of
00:10:50cuts, two weeks ago a
00:10:54very serious event occurred,
00:10:57which unfortunately undermines our democracy, is that the
00:11:01Supreme Court accepted some precautionary measures to
00:11:05suspend the vote of 400,000 Spaniards living
00:11:08abroad, the Supreme Court will have to
00:11:12resolve it and I am not going to question a
00:11:15decision that I clearly do not share, let's wait
00:11:19for the final ruling, but I will not forgive a...
00:11:23Popular Party and Vox, who were the ones who filed this appeal with the
00:11:26Supreme Court,
00:11:29because
00:11:34look,
00:11:34this law, which is the Democratic
00:11:38Memory Law, which is a justice law
00:11:42to compensate the descendants of exiles
00:11:46due to the Civil War and the Franco
00:11:49dictatorship, the right to Spanish
00:11:53nationality and consequently the right to vote, this law was
00:11:57approved in 2022, it came into
00:11:59force in 2022 and since 2022 we have had a
00:12:03few regional elections, some
00:12:06general elections in 2023 and the
00:12:09right never raised a problem with the Democratic Memory Law
00:12:13until now when it was raised and demanded by
00:12:16Bascal and Vox, this
00:12:19is the question and look closer, if you look
00:12:22back from the present
00:12:27to this last decade or even a little
00:12:30further back when the Popular Party governed,
00:12:33the right to nationality was recognized for the
00:12:36descendants of the Sephardic Jews who
00:12:39were expelled by our ancestors in
00:12:421492,
00:12:44and that right to nationality naturally entailed
00:12:47the right to vote this past
00:12:50week in the Congress of Deputies. We have begun the
00:12:54process to recognize nationality and the right to vote, consequently, for the
00:12:57Saharawi population.
00:13:01In both cases, the Socialist Party voted
00:13:05in favor. In the case of the Sephardic Jews, the Popular
00:13:07Party voted in favor. In the case of the Saharawis, it voted
00:13:11abstention, but the Democratic Memory Law, which recognizes
00:13:14Spanish nationality for the
00:13:18descendants of exiles and those repressed by
00:13:21Francoism, the Popular Party voted
00:13:25against it.
00:13:25and the question is,
00:13:32is there anyone, is there anyone who understands it, it's that everything is
00:13:35understood and that's the problem, well,
00:13:39I tell Bascal, Feijóo,
00:13:43Feijóo to Bascal,
00:13:46that the vote is protected and
00:13:49exercised, and that is what these Spanish men and women are going to do, hopefully, with
00:13:54We will not accept first-class and
00:14:04second-class citizens because we have third-class
00:14:07candidates, such as the candidates of the Popular Party
00:14:11and the candidates of Vox, but in any
00:14:14case, in any case, comrades, they are
00:14:17in the same car, they share
00:14:20the same route and the same judgments,
00:14:24privatizations, confrontation, also
00:14:28lack of respect, lack of education,
00:14:31the other day, the spokesman for the Popular
00:14:35Party executive, I don't know if you saw it, president, he said that
00:14:39when he governed, if he ever governed, which I hope not, and we
00:14:43will work for it, Feijóo with Abascal, insults
00:14:45and bad manners would be
00:14:48banished,
00:14:52well, of course. No, but if that's how things are, the
00:14:56alternative for Catalans and Spaniards, the
00:15:00truth is that it's quite complicated, because it's a fright or
00:15:02death, of course, when they are in
00:15:06opposition they insult and when they are in government
00:15:08they cut, so I tell you, I prefer them to insult me while in
00:15:12opposition than for Spaniards to suffer cuts while in
00:15:15government,
00:15:23let them insult all they want.
00:15:43Hey, they've been, they've been like Groundhog Day for 8
00:15:46years asking for early elections, always
00:15:50elections, every day asking for elections, but
00:15:54Spain has not been dormant during these years, on the contrary, it has advanced a lot
00:15:57in growth, in job creation, in transformation, in social cohesion, in
00:16:01coexistence, in international
00:16:02projection,
00:16:05that is what we have done.
00:16:07and that's why I tell you, 8 years of social progress, another year left until
00:16:112027, and then 4 more years of social
00:16:17opposition,
00:16:17because we have many things to
00:16:22resolve, we have a lot of work
00:16:25ahead of us, our political project does not end in
00:16:282027 but looks further to 2030 in the
00:16:32field of energy transformation, of adaptation
00:16:35to climate change, of social cohesion,
00:16:39of territorial diversity, housing
00:16:42policy, which we all have to do a lot,
00:16:45and not the housing policy of the
00:16:49PP, which you know is the penthouse
00:16:52policy of
00:16:53Ayuso,
00:16:57no, no, yes,
00:17:00hey, the other day Mrs.
00:17:03Ayuso in a lapse said, my
00:17:06public money,
00:17:09no, no, not my public money,
00:17:126 million euros that have been spent on Mrs.
00:17:16Ayuso's penthouse, 6 million euros with 200
00:17:19square meters of terrace,
00:17:236 million, 200 square meters of terrace, 20 pages or 200
00:17:26pages of explanations later, we still don't know
00:17:29the official version of the Popular Party, Mrs. Ayuso said it was an official
00:17:33office, Mr. Feijóo said it was an official residence, it remains to be seen what he will say...
00:17:46but yes, Mrs. Ayuso has made it clear to us that
00:17:49she didn't really like fruit, what she really
00:17:53likes are penthouses, what an obsession she has and
00:17:56what submission Mr. Feijóo
00:17:59has, of course,
00:18:02because the debate here is not why the Popular Party is already demanding
00:18:06Mrs. Ayuso's resignation, the
00:18:09debate, the debate is why he doesn't
00:18:12do it, of course, because the penthouse
00:18:16exposes Mr. Ayuso, but the silence exposes
00:18:19Mr.
00:18:20Feijóo,
00:18:29so we are going to win the municipal elections next
00:18:33May 2027 and we are going to
00:18:36win the general elections next year 2027 and
00:18:40I will tell you something, I will tell you something, when we
00:18:43win them, we know what the Popular Party and Vox will do the next day, ask for
00:18:47early elections and we will remind them that when
00:18:51the left governs, legislatures also last
00:18:544 years until 2031 and
00:18:57beyond, let's go for
00:18:59victory.
00:19:07The General Secretary of the PSOE has assured that his legislature will continue until
00:19:11next year until the general elections of
00:19:142027, that he is willing, he says, to win,
00:19:17he has harshly criticized the PP and Vox for being against, for example, the
00:19:21reduction of the debt of the autonomous communities,
00:19:24also the increase in the budget for these communities,
00:19:28he has defended the measures approved by his government, including amnesty and
00:19:31pardons, he has also defended the management he is doing of the Ceuta
00:19:35crisis, he says, with a millionaire investment to provide assistance to migrants and
00:19:38the increase in border surveillance. He has criticized
00:19:42the 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
00:19:49400,000 descendants of Spaniards who are
00:19:52abroad because they were exiled during the war. He has also brought up the
00:19:55controversy of Jusso's penthouse. And with the summary
00:19:59of what he has spoken about, what the
00:20:14Catalan offers you this space.
00:29:33is a constant factory of inequality, it is
00:29:36evident that there are two models here, not only of society,
00:29:39but also of how to understand what country you want, right? Catalonia Madrid, the
00:30:24Carles Puigdemont assures that when he can return to Catalonia, the first thing he will do
00:30:28is listen to the territory to decide his political future, he said it in
00:30:32a... magazine the British newspaper The Sunday Times which is published
00:30:35today.
00:30:41the beginning of the political pre-campaign with acts with the
00:30:45socialist and popular leaders. At the PSC's
00:30:48rose festival, Pedro Sánchez criticizes Feijóo and
00:30:51Abascal because they appear only when they need electoral
00:30:55gains.
