Captain Bitcoin stated that the PSOE had designed a campaign for the elections on November 29 with the goal of winning. According to his publication, it would begin with a general strike on November 11, the first in eight years and two days before the start of the campaign. He claimed that the protest would be directed against the opposition and would benefit the unions, which he described as bought. The author said that the Government would announce during the electoral weekend increases of 4.5% for civil servants, 3.5% for pensioners, and a rise in the minimum wage. He also predicted that it would approve housing decrees through the Permanent Deputation, where, he indicated, it had a majority. Regarding the electoral message, he stated that the PSOE would present the opposition as a threat to pensions and would contrast the government's wage increases with an alleged reduction in salaries by the far-right. He also labeled it dubious that the mail-in voting was questioned and said that Pedro was asking to allow 400,000 naturalized people in South America to vote immediately, without waiting. Captain Bitcoin maintained that the plan consisted of handing out public money for three weeks and generating fear before the elections, so that afterward, as he wrote, the bill would be passed on for another four years. He added that he would publish three videos on how to protect oneself on October 14, 15, and 16 on his channel. #Elecciones2023 #PSOE #España (translated)
