Pedro Sanchez announced this Monday, April 29, from the Moncloa Palace that he is not resigning and one of the most anticipated television reactions was that of Ana Rosa Quintana, very critical of the President of the Government. The presenter of TardeAR has compared the socialist with Donald Trump for using the same political mechanisms, according to her, as the American and she has called him calculating.
“Victimism squared. My bet was ‘No means no’ and The result has been ‘I is me’. Pedro Sánchez, converted into Louis XIV, reappears pointing out: ‘Democracy is me. Let’s show the world how to defend Democracy,'” the journalist indicated at the beginning of her program, criticizing the days of reflection that the politician took to assess whether or not he was worth continuing in office. “After subjecting us to a five-day farce, Sánchez has gone to see the king. For what? To tell him ‘I’m not going to resign’?”.
For the Telecinco presenter, “The sequence of events has been astonishing”: “The president has announced a Gatopardo in which everything will change so that everything remains the same. First he announces in a love letter that he is considering leaving for a fachosphere campaign that includes judges, the media and the opposition.. Five days later she reappears launching a Peronist message announcing that he is staying to ‘lead a response against the world reactionary movement.'”
For Ana Rosa, it is not appropriate for the leader of Spanish politics to use these terms: “Use Trumpist methods to fight Trumpism, attacking the media, judges and opposition. Our beloved leader makes it clear that he will continue to lead the way to regenerate a democracy based on attack, hatred, insidiousness, falsehood, hoaxes, gross lies, mud, the suffering of the people he loves and harassment. The inventors of escrache complain of harassment. Five days ago it wasn’t worth staying. Now he stays to save us all“.
In this sense, he added: “Today, April 29, the day of San Pedro Mártir, the president is resurrected five days later thanks to the mobilization of the streetsa mobilization that does not reach a group of friends while its partners ask for control of the judges and the media. Finally it was not love, it was political calculation“. It must be remembered that the demonstration called in Ferraz by the PSOE brought together more than 12,000 people, according to data from the Government Delegation.
The communicator has continued to criticize the speech of the leader of the Executive: “Sánchez has issued several warnings to sailors: ‘I assume the decision to continue, with more force if possible. This decision does not represent a full stop. It is a full stop.’ What awaits us with that point and aside? More than regeneration, it sounds like alienation. The president does not differentiate Democracy from Government. “Democracy is the division of powers, it is the independence of the Judiciary and it is the free press.”
And he has sentenced: “Journalists will continue to tell what power does not want to be told. It is our obligation. We are not going to gag ourselves”.
Pedro Sánchez’s speech
After paralyzing his agenda last Wednesday, April 24, to assess whether or not it was “worth it” to continue in the Government, the president announced this Monday that he is not resigning: “I assume the decision to continue, with more force if possible ( …) This is not about the destiny of a particular leader. It is about deciding what type of society we want to be. Our country needs this reflection (…) We have been letting mud contaminate our public life for too long.”
Regarding his days of reflection, he explained: “This has nothing to do with the legitimate debate between political options. It has to do with the rules of the game.” And he pointed out: “Confusing freedom of expression with freedom of defamation is a democratic perversion with disastrous consequences. Therefore, the question is simple: Do we want this for Spain? My wife and I know that this discredit campaign will not stop. We have been years suffering from it. It is serious, but it is not the most relevant thing.
It must be remembered that the break in his agenda came after the previous proceedings opened against Begoña Gomez in a Madrid court after a complaint filed by Manos Liminas, which ended up admitting the possibility that its complaint was based on fake news. “It will now be the judge who must verify whether said journalistic information is true or not”they wrote in their statement.
