The former President of the Government Felipe González attended the program ‘El Hormiguero’ tonight, where he said he felt “orphaned” of a country project, which he says he does not identify in the current government. With a copy of the Constitution from the beginning of his interview with Pablo Motos, the former socialist leader has said that Salvador Illa’s victory in Catalonia is “one of the joys of the year” although with the “question” of whether he would have gotten more votes if the Amnesty Law had not been agreed upon, which he has clearly positioned himself against.
Former president González has assured that “this atmosphere of processism has decreased in Catalonia with the triumph of Salvador Illa”, and then added: “what he has done is pass processism to the rest of Spain.” Asked by the presenter Pablo Motos, Felipe González agreed with him that people “are bored” with politicians and said that, now, politics “is not done with data, but with aggression.” At that time he questioned “pointing the finger” at journalists.
González has insisted on the need to “support” Salvador Illa, of whom he has said that he has “the style of coexistence that citizens deserve”, that he dialogues “with everyone” and that he cares “about the problems” of the citizenship. He has also insisted that he trusts that “nothing will be negotiated with either Puigdemont or Aragonès” without it going through Illa. Immediately afterwards, he began a harsh criticism against his counterpart José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero: “the worst period of the PSC was Zapatero’s inheritance”, which he has described as “terrifying”. Regarding Zapatero, he has asked himself if “could it be that he represents what we are now?” or if “we are never going to win by majority again.”
Felipe González has also had time to qualify Javier Milei’s attitude last weekend in an act of the “impolite” far-right, but he has said that he preferred, compared to Pedro Sánchez’s attitude, that of Pope Francis, who showed indifference to the criticism he received from the current president of Argentina, who described him as “satanic.” “I feel offended by disqualifications of this nature,” said González, who added that he believes that our diplomacy is “to serve the citizens.” The former President of the Government has also said that “of course we can afford” a diplomatic conflict with Argentina, although he added that “what it costs the Spanish people is another matter.”
