Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of the Popular Party (PP), presented his party's list for the Madrid constituency for the 29 November general elections. He was joined at the event by Isabel Díaz Ayuso, the president of the Community of Madrid, and Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo, who is Feijóo's number two candidate for Madrid.
During the event, Feijóo accused the government of creating tension and 'burning the streets' because it fears losing the election. He stated that the government divides society to retain power and that those who threaten because they are losing only deserve to lose. Feijóo promised that if his party wins, there will be 'order' from 30 November and they will be 'implacable with the violent'.
Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo also spoke at the event, criticising Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. She described Sánchez as a 'pathetic populist without a people' and accused him of legitimising violence. Álvarez de Toledo stated that Sánchez has lost the streets and is trying to incite unrest, linking this to the government's political actions, including its alliance with Bildu and the amnesty for Catalan independence actions.
Disagreement on the cause of unrest
ElDiario.es reported that the PP accused the government of 'burning the streets' due to riots in Bilbao and Barcelona. Other reports, including those from El Mundo and La Razón, also mentioned Feijóo holding the government responsible for the 'burning' of the streets because they 'know they are losing'. However, ElDiario.es provided more detail, stating that Álvarez de Toledo claimed Sánchez legitimised violence by amnestying actions in Catalonia and by making Bildu a partner without demanding an unequivocal condemnation of violence. Feijóo was quoted by ElDiario.es as saying that the government's partners justify and encourage violence in the streets.
What the coverage left out
None of the left-rated or centre-rated digests mention the specific details of Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo's past relationship with Feijóo, such as her previous comments calling him a 'barón blando' or her praise for him, as reported in the full report by ElDiario.es. The right-rated digests do not mention the PP's accusation that the government is 'burning the streets' due to riots in Bilbao and Barcelona, as reported by ElDiario.es.
