"Not all politicians are the same: it is not the same to be an architect than a demolition ball." With these words, the Secretary of Organization of the Socialist Party, Óscar López, began his speech in Arrecife. The number two of the PSOE is touring the Canary Islands to activate the island groups before the imminent European Elections of May 2014.
"We socialists have built the Welfare State, we have established the public health system, universal public education, the minimum wage; we have regulated the interruption of pregnancy and marriage between people of the same sex. And the Popular Party intends to return Spanish society to thirty years ago," he said.
The socialist reviewed "the achievements" made during the mandates of Felipe González and José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero and predicted that Mariano Rajoy will be remembered as "Mariano, the brief." "He will be the first president of the Spanish Democracy who does not govern for two legislatures," he said.
Óscar López assured that the PSOE "must prepare to govern again and to stop a right wing that has generated one million unemployed in two years, with its austerity policies." "Today, when unemployment figures have hit us again, we reaffirm our outright rejection of the PP's labor reform," he said in his speech in Arrecife.
Regarding the imminent European Elections of May 2014, the Secretary of Organization of the PSOE pointed out that citizens must remember that the socialist ballot for the European elections "will implicitly include a no to cuts, the reform of the Abortion Law, the Wert Law, or privatizations and co-payments."
