Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of the People’s party, received the most votes in July’s election but failed to get enough support to form a government
As expected, socialist MP Óscar Puente did not mince his words – or as the Spanish idiom has it, there are no hairs on his tongue.
“Mr Feijóo, you entered this chamber as leader of the opposition, and as the newspapers have it, you’ll leave it having become the leader of the opposition. But you’re not just that. You’re the leader of the opposition and a scourge! A scourge of who? Sánchez – who else could it be – the font of all evil!”
