This Tuesday the first Council of Ministers took place after the summer holidays and this Wednesday the parliamentary course begins in Congress, marking the political strategy of the opposition: the frontal clash with the Government in any field. The leader of the Popular Party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, does not give even a day of respite.
