In an intervention before the media at the union headquarters, where the funeral chapel has been installed, Sánchez pointed out that the story of Nicolás Redondo – who died this Tuesday – is “the most brilliant story linked to all the causes that the UGT has materialized from the moment he was born." This is how he referred to the fight for the dignity of peoples and workers and against inequality, at the same time as he has assured that it is a cause that still endures and that justifies the existence of both the UGT and the PSOE. Sánchez has indicated that last night he received the news that Redondo was in a "very delicate" situation from the current secretary general of the UGT, Pepe Álvarez and has assured that despite the fact that he was 95 years old, he was surprised "by the speed ». He has also stated that it has "shocked" him, since it was being "a historical reference for modern democratic Spain" today, as he has defined it. Likewise, he stressed that the three characteristics that in his opinion have defined the historic union leader are "the fight, the commitment to the cause of the workers and dignity." On this point he has highlighted his "integrity" and consistency in his political action and trade unionist commitment. Sánchez also recalled that Redondo had to leave Spain and go into exile in France when he was a child, although he later returned and made it possible for us today "to have the rights and freedoms that his generation could not enjoy when he was little," he added. Sánchez has also indicated that during his visit to the funeral chapel he had a conversation with the son of Nicolás Redondo, Nicolás Redondo Terreros, a historic leader of the PSOE who in the last stage has shown his discrepancies with the current leadership of the PSOE to the point of that in May 2021 an expulsion file was opened for him. Although it was later archived without any consequences for the son of the historic union leader.
