It is election week, with the polls only six days away, and there is no campaign that can allow itself the luxury of showing despondency. It’s time to smile. Even more so if you are Pilar Alegría (La Zaida, Zaragoza, 48 years old), who has turned her last name into leitmotif of a campaign that gives no reason for optimism. The latest reason for the displeasure came this Monday morning, with the 40dB survey. published by EL PAÍS and SER, which predicts the PSOE’s historic low in Aragon in Sunday’s elections. However, the socialist candidate arrived as punctual as she was smiling at the corner of the Las Delicias neighborhood in Zaragoza, where she had called an event and where the press and a handful of followers were waiting for her, ready to give her words of encouragement. Because, although the campaign requires smiles, no one is aware that things are not looking good and that the candidate needs a push. Quickly, among greetings and congratulations, a topical topic emerges, the revaluation of pensions. And Alegría raises her voice to proclaim a phrase that reaches everyone’s ears:
—We have revalued the pensions and the PP has voted against!
