On September 3, Pedro Sánchez was walking through the Pino Montano neighborhood in Seville. It was the first of El Gobierno de la Gente campaign made by Spanish Socialist Workers' Party to come near citizens.[6] On that moment many members of the Solidarity union, linked to Vox, interrupted him, and, in the background, a middle-aged man with a white shirt with short sleeves, and a banner that read Que te vote Txapote.[7]

Spanish Socialist Workers' Party and Euskal Herria Bildu

Main page: PSOE and EH Bildu controversy

Some people have been critic with the partnership between the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party and Euskal Herria Bildu because Bildu is seen as a political extension of ETA.[10] In the past, ETA killed politicians and innocent people. In this political conflict, the names of both innocent individuals and terrorists are being used as political arguments.[11]

Consuelo Ordóñez, the president of the Collective of Victims of Terrorism and sister of Gregorio Ordóñez, politician from the People's Party, criticized Isabel Díaz Ayuso on social media for her inappropriate use of the phrase.[12]
