The general secretary of Vox, Ignacio Garriga, has campaigned in Zaragoza alongside the congressional candidate for the province, Carmen Rouco, and the vice president of Aragón, Alejandro Nolasco. There he emphasized that on November 29 "we are betting on whether chaos will settle in the streets with the hand of the Socialist Party or whether order will be restored with the hand of Vox."
During his intervention before the media, he denounced the violence that, he said, his party is suffering at electoral events and presented the date of November 29 as an opportunity to recover order and convey to the entire country the policies that Vox claims to have promoted in Aragón.
Garriga insisted that his party is suffering attacks "day in, day out" at the campaign events they hold "in every corner" with the presence of their national president. He blamed the Socialist Party for encouraging these episodes and accused the Government of Spain of tolerating them in order to divert attention from "the ruin of the Spaniards" and to instill fear at the possibility that "an alternative reaches the Government of Spain."
In this line, he defended that if Vox enters the Executive with sufficient support, "rights, freedoms, will be guaranteed and not threatened, as could happen if Sánchez remains in the Government of Spain for four more years." He also urged citizens to "not be swayed by the provocations of a left that will make violence its banner" and appealed for prudence.
The Vox leader also expressed his "firm condemnation" and "absolute rejection" of the disturbances of the last night in Barcelona, where he denounced looting, violent acts, and damage to urban furniture. He recalled that his party had been warning that similar scenes to those experienced in other European cities could be reproduced in Spain.
According to his account, "hundreds of young foreigners went out to impose violence on our streets in the face of the silence of the Catalan administrations and also of the president of the Government. The reality is that on November 29 what was experienced last night could become not something exceptional, but something routine."
In light of this scenario, he called for broad participation at the polls to bring about a political shift: "We must convince every last neighbor, every last family member to go vote on November 29."
This change of course, he has added, must also serve to address the day-to-day problems of households, especially access to housing. In this area, he has cited the actions of the Aragonese Government as an example, which he has described as a "path of hope" that Vox aspires to extend to the whole of Spain.
Garriga has also warned that "it is essential that no one takes for granted that Pedro Sánchez is the past," and has maintained that the head of the Executive is willing "absolutely to do anything to stay in power." He has accused his political rivals of resorting to violence, to "lies and manipulations" and of trying to take advantage of the electoral law, although he has assured that, thanks to the legal services of Vox and the Supreme Court, "we have stopped their attempt at electoral fraud."
National priority and housing
In terms of housing, the Secretary General of Vox has blamed the PSOE for prices being "more expensive" and the supply "scarcer," referring to regulations that, in his opinion, restrict construction and to a migration policy that would have increased demand. He has also criticized the "hyperregulation" that, he has said, hinders building by private initiative.
In response, Ignacio Garriga has emphasized the commitment to include national priority in the future Housing Law of Aragon. "Thanks to Vox, the principle of national priority is going to be in that law," he has highlighted, before advancing other proposals: "We are going to build and increase the public housing stock. We are also going to guarantee legal security and put an end to squatting."
Likewise, he has defended the need to approve tax cuts in the IRPF and other taxes to benefit young people, rural areas, and families. He has reiterated his intention to transfer the principle of national priority to the central Government and has concluded that "we are going to rebuild everything that the Socialist Party has destroyed," with the declared aim of improving the living conditions of families and workers.
