Rajoy identifies the great change in Spain with an tripartite agreement

USPA NEWS - The acting Spanish Prime Minister insists that its proposal for a coalition government with the Socialist Party, which could also add the centrist formation Citizens, is the best alternative to institutional impasse that lives Spain and the only one capable of ensure the national interests.

In an interview with the Madrid newspaper ABC published on Sunday, Rajoy claims not to be spiteful, in relation to the negative of the socialist Secretary General, Pedro Sanchez, to meet him and alienation from citizens, very critical in recent days with the conservative Popular Party. "I think they can heal the wounds with everyone, if there is a will to do so," says Rajoy, stating that "it is not a personal issue but what we can do to solve such a complex situation and, above all, to meet the Spaniards what they want."

According to Rajoy, the Spaniards what they want is to "consolidate recovery to create jobs and preserve and improve the welfare state." The acting Prime Minister insists that "this can only be done with a stable Government and persevere in the policies that have allowed us to leave the pit in which we were." Therefore, from Monday conservatives try to build bridges with the Socialist Party, whose Secretary General Rajoy will present their arguments "if Mr. Sanchez wants to take the call." He emphasizes that "the big change for Spain would be that we were able to make an agreement between the three major parties."

Rajoy declared "very hurt" with insults addressed to him by the socialist Pedro Sanchez, but does not rule out the possibility of reaching an agreement. "There are things you can´t do because it does not have enough votes," Rajoy said. "In the unity of Spain, national sovereignty, I can´t give. But there are other issues where we do have to do," he adds. In his opinion, "no one is able to apply all of their program and their convictions, not with votes or without them."

The acting President of the Spanish Government considers that holding new elections would be detrimental to Spain. "I would like a Government" coalition, says. "Sanchez has prevented at first, so I did not go to the inauguration. He has presented and has not come, can´t block the situation." However, he does not believe that a change of interlocutor serve to bring positions. "My partner is Pedro Sanchez, and in the near future, I try to talk to him. I have not done with any other socialist throughout all these months, and I will not," he says.

Rajoy does not believe that corruption is a major obstacle to the agreement. "That's the alibi raised Pedro Sanchez, being knowledgeable, as it is, what happens in their party. I will not get into that old game of 'you and more,' but I'll accept either Mr. Sanchez 'I, less'. Unfortunately, this is one of the worst issues we have suffered in Spain in recent years," he says and admits that, if he can be sworn in for another term, his Government will have to be "more effective" in the fight against corruption.
