"If finally the organizations of the working class, called a general strike, that we Can be prepared for the general strike to be different," said Iglesias during an event held Friday in Mérida, capital of the autonomous community of Extremadura (south-west), Spain.

in Addition, he explained that because of the proposition of Law so that pensions rise in 2017, in accordance with the Consumer Price Index (CPI), from the General Union of Workers (UGT) announced the possibility of calling a general strike if the president of the Government on functions, Mariano Rajoy came to the Government.

In this context, he underlined that if the unions called the strike "the challenge" which I assume, he said, as "general secretary of a party that does not want to be a party, but an instrument of the popular movement, is that in the first general strike in which quit the player purple notice the difference."

Churches emphasized that the training dwelling must be willing to "submit initiatives", to "govern well" and "prepared for all your muscle militant to participate in a general strike."

In his view, if there is a general strike, your party has to have "a fighting machine" to prove that it is the opposition, but at the same time stressed that We would be "very clumsy" and would have "lost its ability" analysis, if I thought that "the opposition to the PP is built up from the Parliament".

in Addition, said it has no doubt that the Spanish Socialist workers Party (PSOE) will abstain from participating in the investiture of Rajoy, and warned the socialists that after listening to the statement by the Spanish businessman Francisco Correa in the trial of the corruption scheme known as the Gürtel, "will be on their consciences to have surrendered the Government to the most corrupt party in Europe".

Churches recalled that the PP, which has not had an election result good, "is a party that has proven to be a home of corruption, where the Police was for 13 hours by registering your venue for to find the hard drives destroyed", therefore, considered it of "gross irresponsibility to deliver the Government to the people".

Spain suffers from a political blockade after the failure of the PP to form a Government after the elections of the 20 of December 2015, which caused the repetition of the elections in June last year, with similar results. In addition, last September, Rajoy was not able to get the confidence of the lower House for a second time.
