How to appear as President of the Government without being President of the Government? This has been the mirage of Alberto Nuñez Feijoowho gathered his barons in Madrid this Friday to express a common position on the regional funding. A conclave for which the PP rented a private mansion in one of the most noble neighborhoods of the capital… very similar to the Moncloa Palace. There, the “popular” generated images identical to those of the president.
The most obvious proof is found by comparing the images of Pedro Sanchez by announcing the latest changes in its executive and those of the Feijóo Appears This Friday after meeting their regional presidents. The differences are minimal and the similarities are obvious. The first is in the flags: in both cases, in the background, in the second plane, are those of Spain and of the European Union.
The second similarity is found in dress: Identical navy suits, similar light shirts and green ties were the chosen attire of the Chief Executive and later the Leader of the Opposition. The third similarity is found in frames of the two appearances, absolutely identical.
In addition, Feijóo’s intervention this Friday took place, like those made by Sánchez at the gates of Moncloa, with columns on the sidesvery similar to each other in their color and simplicity and because they are centered on the screen. As part of the day, the PP leader also included a family photo with their regional presidents. An image that is not without recalling the photograph that Sánchez took with his ministers on the steps of Moncloa.
However, Feijóo did not only present himself as president with gestures, but also with words, and in his speech he wanted to emphasize the type of president he would be.”There is another way to governby prioritizing the interests of all citizens and serving them. Spain is much more than the ambition of one man and Spain is much more than its government. Today, here is a good example of all that,” he assured.
