Feijóo reclama en Galicia el impulso para llegar a La Moncloa: “Sigo siendo el mismo”

Alberto Núñez Feijóo returned to the scene of his political beginnings. At the Multiusos Fontes do Sar multi-purpose hall in Santiago de Compostela, he kicked off his political career seventeen years ago. He ran for the presidency of the Galician regional government (Xunta de Galicia), a role he later held for four legislatures with an absolute majority.

In the same venue, he also announced in 2022 that he would run for the leadership of the national party. "I came here to seek permission, as a sign of respect," he remembered on Saturday, addressing an audience of 8,000 supporters, his voice cracking. In a weary speech, Feijóo made his way to his supporters, who had gathered in the crowded hall from all corners of Galicia, asking for one last push to reach the presidency of the Spanish government.

"From Montpelier, where I spent a considerable amount of time, to the Palace of La Moncloa, it's 600 kilometers and 15 days. Help me finish this journey, and I won't let you down," he urged the PP candidate. "I am still the same person, with more gray hair. With more experience, with more scars, but with the same commitment," he asserted.
