The Prime Minister has demanded this afternoon the immediate release of the Palestinian-Spanish citizen Saif Abu Keshek, who was traveling with the flotilla towards the coast of Gaza and was intercepted by the Israeli army. Sánchez has considered Keshek a victim of kidnapping.

Sánchez has emphasized that Spain “will always protect its citizens” and has considered the interception of the flotilla a “new violation of international law.”
The Secretary General of the PSOE spoke this afternoon at an event in Cártama (in Malaga) in support of the candidate for the Andalusian socialists’ Board, María Jesús Montero.
To the rhythm of Bella Ciao – a score usually used by Podemos in their rallies – and before “Verde que te quiero verde” sounded, the official anthem of this campaign, Pedro Sánchez entered the sports pavilion of Cártama, a municipality located 19 kilometers from Málaga governed by who, they say, is the mayor most aligned with Sánchez in all of Andalusia, Jorge Gallardo.
The afternoon promised: double program: Zapatero and Sánchez in the same rally. The socialists are putting all their effort in. Today they claim to have gathered more than 1,800 people at this rally..
Sánchez equates Díaz Ayuso with Juanma Moreno who “does the same as her but quietly”
Sánchez in his speech, following the trail of the Andalusian socialist leader’s campaign focused on defending public services, said: “When a government takes money away from public health, two things happen, the service deteriorates and some make a big business.” In this sense, he equated the management of the President of the Community of Madrid and that of Juanma Moreno “who does the same quietly.”
The Secretary General of the PSOE has taken for granted that the Andalusian elections can be won if left-wing voters concentrate their vote on “who is in a position to win” who, for him, is none other than María Jesus Montero.

The Secretary General of the PSOE responds to Abascal’s insults: “the greater the insult, the greater our determination”
At the same time, he responded to the insults thrown by Vox this morning at a rally in Jaén – Abascal called him ‘pimp’ – and defended that “the greater their insults and threats, the more determined the socialists will be.”
For her part, the PSOE candidate for the Andalusian Board, María Jesús Montero, has claimed the presence of the Secretary General of the PSOE at this rally on the first day of the official campaign – the third she has led in recent weeks in Andalusia – and has pointed out that some “hide their national leaders” in an obvious allusion to her opponent Juanma Moreno who, for the moment, seems determined not to count on the president of the PP Alberto Núñez Feijóo except in rare and significant events like the one he will hold on Sunday the 10th. It will be the central event of his campaign.
Montero accuses Juanma Moreno of not wanting to debate: “he doesn’t want the campaign because he knows we are more”
Montero has pointed out that the Popular Party does not want a campaign, “does not want to discuss, does not want to face up.” “They want to demobilize because they know that the socialists are more.”
For his part, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero has started with his usual jokes about the president of the Popular Party. “Feijóo stimulates me,” he said, then defending regularization and opposing the thesis of national priority, which he considers an unpatriotic idea.
Zapatero has assured that PP and Vox are the same and practice “the same politics: slander, denigrate.” The former president has asked “Feijóo to have courage and say enough” to this style of politics of his partner in various regional and local governments.
