The politician who inaugurated his mandate on the head of the PP by making certain that he got here to beat Pedro Sánchez, “to not insult him”, called him this Monday “the most affordable president of democracy” and assured that he lacked “dignity and honor” to resign and make way for him a year and a half after the elections, repeating them until he can be president, that is, until he wants.
