Vox clearly beat the PP. According to the government delegation, 100,000 people gathered this Sunday in the Plaza de Colón in Madrid, more than double the 40,000 that it attributed to the rally. held on September 24 by the PP on Avenida Felipe II in the capital for the same reason.
For once, the official figures coincide with those of the organizers, who estimated the number of visitors at over 100,000, and are probably exaggerated, because although the crowds occupied some of the adjacent streets, there were numerous seats in the square. Nevertheless, it was a success for the organization, which chartered buses in numerous locations in Spain.
Vox wanted to present the rally as a civil society initiative and put the call in the hands of Denaes (Defence of the Spanish Nation), the foundation that served as an incubator for the birth of the Ultra party in 2013. there were hardly any. They saw the traditional green Vox flags at these events and they saw numerous Spanish flags and posters distributed by the organization against the independence leaders and the President of the Government.

“Puigdemont to prison!” and “Sánchez traitor!” were the slogans most frequently shouted by the public. Abascal was celebrated with shouts of “President!” President!” Upon his arrival, he also received the most applause when he addressed the audience, although his speech was not included in the program.

In his speech, Abascal called Sánchez a “traitor,” ensuring that he will go down in history as one of the great traitors of his homeland, along with Count Don Julián, who allegedly facilitated the entry of the Arabs into Visigothic Spain, the legendary Vellido Dolfos, whom others consider a hero for freeing Zamora from the siege of King Sancho II, who wanted to take it away from his sister Doña Urraca. In more contemporary terms, he has suggested that the sitting president’s willingness to grant amnesty to those involved in the trial was worse than the coup of February 23, 1981, when Congress was hijacked at gunpoint by a group of civilian guards and tanks descended on the streets of Valencia – and asserted that Sánchez represents “the worst threat to the nation and freedom of the entire democratic period.”
The Vox leader justified this by saying that the event was called “against the Sánchez coup,” thus ensuring that “the coup carried out in 2017 by the traitor Generalitat will now be carried out from the Palace of La Moncloa.” . In a serious and threatening tone he addressed the socialist leader: “We are not begging you, we are not begging you, we are not begging you either. We simply warn you of the consequences of violating the Constitution, the laws and the equality of the Spanish people. […] If the government says that the laws are neither valid nor binding on its accomplices and investiture partners, then the government is telling us that the laws are neither valid nor binding on all Spaniards as a whole. Abascal added that if Sánchez does not abandon his plans, “it is better that the next time he meets Puigdemont he asks him to prepare the guest room in Waterloo.”
The fact that Sánchez publicly accepted for the first time this Saturday the necessity and advisability of the amnesty, “to the animal applause” of the PSOE Federal Committee, as Abascal put it, has benefited the former Ciudadanos deputy and chairman of Pie on Pared Juan Carlos Girauta accuses the President of the Constitutional Court, Cándido Conde Pumpido, of having participated in the drafting of the future law and of believing what a digital publication publishes to be true. Girauta also warned Sánchez: “If the state does not defend freedoms, we, the nation, will defend them,” he said. In press statements, Girauta has attacked Feijóo, wondering if he had something better to do this Sunday than going to the Plaza de Colón and warning him that his actions “do not represent the resistance” of Spanish society against the “self”. -Coup.” by Sánchez.”
Before him spoke the director of Denaes and coordinator of Vox in the Andalusian Parliament, Iván Vélez; the general secretary of the Solidaridad trade union and Vox representative in Congress, Rodrigo Alonso; the representative of S’ha Finish Andrea Llopart; the President of the Police for the 21st Century, Samuel Vázquez; and the journalist Luis del Pino, who is linked to the ultra-Catholic lobby Hazte Oír. Like the Feijóo rally last month, the event ended with the Spanish national anthem.
