Mallorca rally: Sánchez calls for 75% election turnout
Mallorca hosts Pedro Sánchez’s push for 75% turnout: at a rally in Palma de Mallorca on Saturday, 14 November, he urges supporters to bring out voters for Spain’s 29 November election. The Spanish prime minister and Socialist Party (PSOE) candidate appears alongside Francina Armengol, speaker of the Congress of Deputies and the party’s lead candidate in the Balearic Islands. Sánchez holds up a sign reading “La Peter lo peta”.
He accuses Alberto Núñez Feijóo of the People’s Party (PP) and Santiago Abascal of Vox of offering insults instead of answers. By contrast, Sánchez points to his government’s increases in the minimum wage and pensions.
Housing is another point of attack. Sánchez criticises PP and Vox for voting against a decree on housing measures approved on Thursday by the Congress of Deputies’ permanent committee. He says Feijóo’s approach to housing makes a mockery of people.
Sánchez says 75% turnout could help the PSOE win at least 176 seats and an outright majority in Congress. He predicts his party will win both Congress and the Senate, but urges supporters to keep campaigning until election day.
