Page: “Pedro Sánchez and Ábalos were nail and flesh. You can’t see otherwise”
Emiliano García-Page has not been surprised by the critical tone that Pedro Sánchez dedicated in messages with José Luis Ábalos in November 2020, when he was secretary of the organization and Minister of Development. The president of the Government and general secretary of the PSOE asked his then number three to be called after an interview in La Razón “to stop touching the balls.” “This is very unpleasant. Anyone likes to get along with their directions. It blushes me when the opposition or the PP always tells us that this is a pure theater, which at the time of truth … This is wrong,” said the president of Castilla-La Mancha when arrival at an act in Toledo where he has remarked that the conversations he had so much with Ábalos were been “in a fairly kind tone.”
“Having discrepancies is ugly something, because it is not normal in the human condition. And the most reasonable is being able to understand us well. But really since 2015 a very considerable gap is opened, very considerable in the background, which is not overcome and that a few days maybe it is estimated in better relationships, because there has been more temperance, or the opposite. But the tension, denying it, is absurd,” the socialist baron has settled. “I do not calibrate it in terms of pain. Maybe there are people who do not believe it, but in reality I do not pay much to disqualifications or what has to do with insults or with appreciations of that type. It has been a long will stop agreing with independence or with whom they denaturalize the PSOE, ”he added.
Page has also stressed that Wasap messages published by the world show “something we already knew and what no one has ever fooled, no matter how much it happens or rains at the moment, and that is that Pedro Sánchez and Ábalos were nail and flesh.” “I think you cannot see otherwise, not even with a negative aspect. And that is why Ábalos was supposedly in charge of capturing, say, the work of discipline,” he abounded. “If there is something evident in these messages, especially those that are, at the beginning, the first of the first era [tras la reelección de Sánchez en las primarias de 2017]is that a certain intolerance to criticism was being demonstrated in a very high dose or to which it could give their opinion in another way. And in that dynamic we were already regional presidents that we were willing to continue saying nothing negative, but the same thing we said (…) we continue in that dynamic because I really in these ten years I have not changed my position because it is not a position, it is a code of values. I am not willing to give lessons to anyone or be the damn class. What I say is that this is my position. Therefore, I am quite immune to personal disqualifications, ”he concluded.
