Pedro Sánchez gathered in Congress his deputies and senators, pending whether or not to be part of their electoral lists. He asked them to exhibit support in the form of a standing ovation around himself and his strategy for the anti-election elections of July 23.

In a populist escalation, the president marked what the tone of the PSOE will be: equate the PP with Vox – "there is no distinction" – and both with Donald Trump. The message, reminiscent of the Pablo Iglesias who began his political career in the gatherings, is dangerous.
