The PSdeG tries to lead the way for Alfonso Rueda in the “journey” —borrowing the term that Rosa Quintana used yesterday— that has just begun shaking the ‘hot potato’ of Orense. The general secretary of Galician socialism, Valentín González Formoso, has seen in the attack on a trade unionist by the mayor of the city of As Burgas, Gonzalo Jácome, a way to test the newly elected president of the Xunta and goes so far enough to state that his “first task” should be to meet with him and address the situation in the third Galician city.

Moreover, in statements made this Monday in Cambados, Formoso assured that the movement made by Rueda “will clearly measure (…) what will be the way of doing politics” both in the first person and “of the PPdeG” in his set.

“We are going to see the ideological and moral principles with which Galicia operates in the coming years,” he challenged.

Formoso urged Rueda to sit down “to talk this Wednesday,” that is, tomorrow, once the Galician Letters Day is over. Obvious, in this way, that the future leader of the Galician popular still has to wait for the weekend to be proclaimed president of the formation in the extraordinary congress that will host his city, Pontevedra, on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22. This is secondary for Formoso, who yesterday reiterated that Orense is “living in institutional and political indignity for three years.”

Already last Friday, after sending a letter to Rueda where he urged him to meet to address this issue, he charged against the “embarrassing spectacle” caused by “a mayor who does not have a minimum of institutionality and a minimum of education, nor does he represent a absolutely worthy city and loved by all Galicians». Formoso, since the attack occurred, has been transferring pressure to the PPdeG, and notably to Rueda: “He has to get down to work.”
