The PSC has launched its campaign for the general elections with an event in Barcelona. Mayor Jaume Collboni has called for voter mobilization as the key to the election.
The Partido Socialista de Catalunya (PSC) has begun its campaign for the general elections with an event at the Auditorio L'Illa in Barcelona. According to the organization, around 700 people attended the rally, which featured speeches from the president of the Generalitat, Salvador Illa, and the mayor of Barcelona, Jaume Collboni.
Collboni focused his speech on participation. For the Barcelona councillor, the key to the election will be that voters go to the polls, and he straightforwardly urged those who can vote to do so.
“Those who can vote, should vote.”
The mayor referenced recent electoral results in Brazil and the United States to advocate for voting against economic power. He stated that, despite the money of the tech oligarchs, nothing can stop the people's vote.
“No matter how much money the tech oligarchs have, nothing can stop the people's vote.”
Collboni predicted that Barcelona and Catalunya will be “the electoral graveyard of the far-right in Spain.” According to him, what is at stake in this election is whether the country opts for rights or for the right.
For his part, Illa maintained that Catalunya's voice will be decisive in the election results. He asserted the will for self-government of the Catalans, which, in his view, the PSC defends.
The president of the Generalitat also criticized the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, whom he accused of not understanding Catalunya. He added that, for this reason, he will not become president of the Government, and urged him to explore more of Catalonia rather than just Badalona, where he shared a rally that same afternoon with Xavier García Albiol.
Illa also attacked PP and Vox, attributing to them the intention to standardize Spain and allow society to be governed by the free market. He summarised it with irony: “those who can, should fend for themselves.”
For the Barcelona reader, the campaign arrives with socialist rallies in the city and its metropolitan area, with Pedro Sánchez as the party's reference point at its launch in Seville.
