One of Alberto Núñez Feijóo’s great convictions if he comes to Government is to strengthen Spain’s role as a bridge between Europe and Latin America. And this Wednesday he has claimed that link at a summit of the European People’s Party (EPP) held in Madrid with 60 political formations from 42 European and Latin American countries with the aim of addressing the challenges of democracy. At this meeting, the leader of the PP wanted to make an assessment of the political situation in Spain and criticized Pedro Sánchez, whom he described as “authoritarian.” “I welcome you to a Spain that also suffers the threat of a weakened democracy, attacked from the highest instances that should defend it above all else,” he stated.

David Sánchez, brother of the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, was sentenced yesterday by the Badajoz Court to nine years of disqualification from holding public office and from exercising the right to passive suffrage as the author of a crime of administrative misconduct for having occupied the position of coordinator of the conservatories of the Badajoz Provincial Council which, according to the sentence, was created “to his measure”.
