Mr Rajoy told parliament today if the
opposition socialist leader Mr Sanchez came into power then it would be a
detrimental “threat to certainty, consensus and stability” of Spain and
ultimately the EU.
In an astonishing tirade, while addressing Mr Sanchez, Mr Rajoy said: “Your government program is incredible. You deform reality to justify your intervention. You need to magnify corruption to justify your task of purification. You talk about elections when Spain regains order. What does that mean?
“Your government program is not clear. But it's not surprising. You do not have any project for Spain. You want to change the constitution, but nobody knows for what.
“Your freedom to adapt to the moment is incredible. You show great plasticity because you have never ruled. You are ambiguous, but Spain does not need that.

“You do not care about the Spaniards.
You only want to harm my government. You can not distinguish good from
bad. You are unable to perceive something good when others do. Is that
colour blindness or bad faith? You only see a black Spain.
“You are a threat to certainty, consensus and stability. If you do not admit your mistakes, how can you avoid tripping over the same stone?
“Your motion of censure is a motion against Spaniards who have ignored you at the polls.”
Mr Sanchez initiated the vote on Mr Rajoy’s future, which takes place tomorrow, after the conclusion of a long-running corruption scandal, known as the Gurtel case.
A Spanish court found former officials who were a part of Mr Rajoy’s Popular party guilty of operating a slush fund – a reserve kept open solely for illegal purposes, commonly used in cases of political bribery.
Despite the fact Mr Rajoy was not accused, his testimony was deemed “not credible” by the court.
The Spanish prime minister also said that despite the court ruling there is no criminal liability and criminal conviction against his party as he says the case was “not linked to my government”.

If the Catalans could, then we too could.
