The president of the Parliamentary Group Unidas por Extremadura, Irene de Miguel, has assured this Wednesday that María Guardiola "has dug her political grave" by closing the "infamous agreement" of Government with Vox, which, as she has warned, "is going to pursue her wherever she goes".
According to what has been pointed out, "it should be shameful to go against human dignity and believe that in our society there can be first-class and second-class citizens", and he has underlined that before that pact the new Executive will have Unidas por Extremadura in front of it, "because Extremadura does not deserve this infamous Government".
De Miguel has launched these criticisms during his turn to reply in the investiture debate of María Guardiola as president of the Junta de Extremadura, where he has denounced that the understanding between PP and Vox "makes there be citizens of first and second class".
In her speech, the leader of Unidas por Extremadura stated that, in her speech, the candidate for investiture "has made a political trompe-l'oeil", with a "lying and stale message, as this Government with ties will be, which smells quite a bit of mothballs".
"Indefensible Agreement" and Loss of Credibility
Under the heading "UNDEFENDABLE AGREEMENT", De Miguel has reproached Guardiola for having "tried to pass this agreement off as something natural, democratic", when in his opinion it is an "absolutely infamous pact that embarrasses all people who have two fingers of sense and who believe that human rights are to be respected".
He has emphasized the "desperation that the candidate for the Presidency has shown today" when "she has tried to defend that indefensible agreement in every way, she has even had to bring up ETA", and he has recommended that the respect she claims "you should have for yourself", since, in his opinion, "she has lost all the credibility and dignity she had".
For Irene de Miguel, with this pact PP and Vox "are dividing society", and she has urged Guardiola to "face reality", reminding her that in the last elections "she lost 10,000 votes and ended up kidnapped in the arms of Vox". Therefore, she has demanded that she "stop giving lessons to others and, above all, stop giving lessons on how the opposition should do its job".
Even so, De Miguel has asked Guardiola not to "see her as an enemy at all", because, in his opinion, "you have the enemy sitting there at the back", he said, referring to the Vox bench, over which he has predicted that "these few years that it lasts, surely many knives will try to stab you in the back".
Doubts about the economic viability of the pact
During her speech, Irene de Miguel also addressed the spokesperson-president of Vox, Óscar Fernández Calle, whom she questioned about his "policy of not collecting revenue, how can you do more with less?", since the agreement does not include "a single increase in income via taxes and, yes, many reductions".
On this line, he has questioned: "How are they going to increase healthcare by 500 million? How are they going to build 3,500 public housing units? How are they going to equalize teachers' salaries with less money?", concluding that it is "magical realism, personified".
He has also expressed his concern about "if they are going to cut from other places that they are not saying", given that, as he has pointed out, the agreed document does not detail the social services model, nor youth policies, nor the regulation of institutional advertising.
To finish, De Miguel has stated that Extremadura "does not deserve such a lying president", and has warned that María Guardiola is "figured out and well figured out".
