The PP-A candidate for re-election as president of the Junta, Juanma Moreno, reiterated this Monday his preference for an Andalusian executive "on his own" and stressed that it would not be "reasonable or sensible" for Vox to aspire to the "seat" in the next regional government.
Moreno expressed himself in these terms upon arriving at the meeting of the National Executive Committee of the PP, in Madrid, convened to examine in detail the result of the Andalusian elections held this Sunday, in which the PP-A obtained 53 seats, falling two short of an absolute majority.
He pointed out that "the result in Andalusia is sufficiently forceful and what is reasonable and sensible is to respect what the majority of Andalusians decided at the polls yesterday and that is for the PP to govern on its own."
The popular leader specified that the PP-A gathered 1,735,000 votes, 150,000 more than in the 2022 elections, with almost 20 points advantage over the PSOE-A and about 30 points over Vox, falling 21,000 ballots short of an absolute majority (10,000 in the province of Jaén and 11,000 in that of Granada).
In his assessment, the results "are forceful enough for there to be that solid majority that we currently have that allows us to govern," although he qualified that "another thing is that the parliamentary dynamic leads us to seek agreements, that is also evident."
He insisted that "we must not be naive in the sense that one thing is to govern alone, a single-color government, and another different thing is not to reach agreements in the parliamentary path," thus marking the difference between the composition of the executive and negotiations in Parliament.
