Sánchez backs PSOE candidate in Extremadura and accuses Guadiola of obeying Feijóo

The socialist leader was very tough on the president of the Board, questioning her over the case of her driver, a relative of the president who was dismissed days after it was discovered that he had been convicted of gender-based violence: 'The PP publicly defends equality, but the reality is that they then cover up machismo. The president hired her cousin and has been taking him all over Extremadura while he was convicted of gender-based violence.' The President of the Government backed the PSOE candidate for the presidency of the Board of Extremadura at an event in Villanueva de la Serena that marked the end of the socialists' campaign for the upcoming December 21st. With a short speech of barely a quarter of an hour, Sánchez spurred on the socialist candidacy, despite the fragility of his candidate, who is accused of malfeasance and influence peddling in relation to the hiring of the president's own brother, David Sánchez: 'With hoaxes and kicks, they have tried to make you lose your temper, that's why you are going to win, you are going to be a great president, like Juan Carlos Rodríguez Ibarra or Guillermo Fernández Vara.' Sánchez claimed that the region is at stake this Sunday with 'progress or regression', choosing between the socialist option or the one that, he said, will be formed by the PP and Vox: 'You are going to put Extremadura first, not like Guadiola, who has called elections because Feijóo ordered him from Madrid.' Sánchez also referred to the controversy generated in the last few hours by the theft of an Post Office office where 124 ballots disappeared. Because what he wanted to do yesterday was to emulate those who shot grandfathers for having different ideas.' Gallardo called for 'to lift the spirits' to 'raise the voice', as he said was done with Fernández Vara and Rodríguez Ibarra, 'so that the voice of Extremadura is respected.' The President of the Government was tough on Guadiola: 'Before the Civil Guard knew everything, she already knew that a theft by some common delinquents was a full-blown scam.' Violence against women is never minor.' The Minister of Economy, the Extremaduran Carlos Cuerpo, and the mayoress of Villanueva de la Serena, Ana Belén Fernández, also attended the event. Following the controversy, the Electoral Board opened an extraordinary procedure with Correos to guarantee the vote of those affected. He was critical of the shadow of suspicion that the PP has spurred at the regional and national level: 'It's the same old PP, they only care about the electoral results when they win, and if not, it's a scam.' According to polls, the PSOE faces next Sunday the worst result in its entire history in the region. We show our face even if next to us is one of the grandchildren of those who shot our grandfathers. Once again, there was a photo-op between Pedro Sánchez and Miguel Ángel Gallardo. This Friday, 116 of the 124 have already exercised their right correctly. Gallardo speaks of the 'executions' of the Civil War to attack the Vox candidate. The most striking statements, however, were made by the Extremaduran candidate for the presidency of the Board, who, when referring to the RTVE debate, ends up invoking the executions of the Civil War to attack Guadiola and Vox: 'He did not want to be in the debate, he sent his puppet from Vox. They say it is mild coercion. It was repeated again.'
