Alberto Núñez Feijóo has promised an audit of public accounts at the launch event of the PP campaign in Badalona, a municipality governed by Xavier García Albiol.

The PP candidate for the presidency of the Government, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has placed Catalonia at the centre of his speech at the start of the popular campaign in Badalona. According to Crónica Global, the event took place this Thursday in a sports hall in the Llefià neighbourhood, with nearly full seating.

Feijóo has promised an audit to find out what has happened to public accounts. His statement was: "to know where the money of the Spaniards is and who has taken it." He also criticized that Spaniards are paying more than ever and receiving less than ever.

The popular leader presented himself with his slogan Necessary Change and stated he is ready to lead "the change that Spain needs." He summarised his response with a short phrase: "It's what I know how to do".

"It's what I know how to do"

The event featured the leader of the PP in Catalonia, Alejandro Fernández, and the mayor of Badalona, Xavier García Albiol, who has headed the party's list in Barcelona. Albiol announced that he will go "after" the squatters, giving them a 48-hour deadline to vacate the occupied properties, and has called for an anti-squatting law that Feijóo has tasked him with.

"I will go after them, in 48 hours the squatters will have to leave"

On immigration, Albiol defended that Catalonia only wants regular immigrants who come to work. He asked for votes from those who share these priorities, also in Catalan, and warned that the alternative to the PP would be Ada Colau as minister.

Feijóo spoke about the housing crisis, insecurity, and the poor service of Rodalies. He promised that taxes, which he believes should be lowered, will be allocated to improve public services and help the vulnerable. Regarding Pedro Sánchez, he stated that "one cannot be in Government and steal".

The event left an image of a candidate more serene than on previous occasions, although there was no euphoria among the audience. The PP knows that another electoral failure would have consequences for the party, and the campaign will continue with new events in the coming days.
