The Secretary General of Vox, Ignacio Garriga, has called this Saturday for a "massive and urgent mobilization" ahead of the general elections on November 29, an appointment he considers decisive to change the policies of the government of Pedro Sánchez. "It may be the last opportunity to rebuild everything that the Socialist Party has torn down," he warned.
Garriga made these statements in San Lorenzo de El Escorial (Madrid), before closing the coordination days of Vox Madrid, where he claimed the preparation of the party's teams to promote a political change both in the Community of Madrid and throughout Spain.
The leader defined the meeting as a "demonstration of strength" and assured that Vox has teams ready to implement in Madrid the measures that, he pointed out, his party is already promoting in other regional governments.

Housing, immigration, and social aid
Among the main proposals defended by Garriga is the national priority in access to social aid and housing, one of the usual demands of Vox. "National priority is also defending the interests of Spaniards in all areas of the Administration," he has stated.
The Secretary General has also called for a reduction of bureaucratic burdens for self-employed individuals, farmers, and ranchers, as well as a simplification of the administrative procedures related to the construction of housing. In this regard, he has assured that his party has "a specific and concrete plan to free self-employed individuals, to guarantee prosperity."
On immigration matters, Garriga has questioned the slogan "all accents fit in Madrid" and has linked current immigration policies with the deterioration of neighborhoods and the saturation of public services. In light of this situation, he has defended Vox's proposals to expel immigrants in irregular situations, as well as those who, in his words, intend to live off public benefits or impose their customs.
"We have nothing against anyone, as the left tries to convey. What we do have is a lot of love for Spaniards," he has stated.
Accusations against Sánchez over the Grandchildren's Law
When asked about the controversy surrounding the Grandchildren's Law and its implications for the electoral roll, Garriga has accused the President of the Government of using institutions for his own benefit and attempting to influence the electoral process.
"We are not surprised that Sánchez, once again, has used an institution of all Spaniards for his own benefit," he declared, before accusing the head of the Executive of being willing to use all means at his disposal "to alter the electoral process, to perpetuate himself in power, and to ultimately steal the popular will."
Garriga has not provided evidence in these statements to support claims of electoral manipulation by the Government, but he has assured that his party will act against any attempt at institutional instrumentalization.
"Vox will do everything in its power to stop those attempts to use the Ombudsman or the Constitutional Court to deny the popular will", he has pointed out.
Criticism over insecurity and access to housing
During his intervention, the general secretary of Vox also denounced the deterioration of public safety and the economic difficulties that, in his opinion, Spanish families are experiencing. Garriga stated that "women have turned pepper spray into a new accessory in their bags" and warned of the fear that, according to him, some young people experience when using public transport during certain hours.
Regarding the real estate market, he lamented the difficulties young people face in accessing home ownership. "We believe that there is an entire generation that has been condemned to not be able to access a property and that they will surely live worse than their parents", he assured.
Garriga attributed this situation to a combination of factors, among which he cited immigration, insufficient construction of social housing, and fiscal and legislative policies. He also criticized the parties that, in his words, "are now disguising themselves as new political formulas," which he held responsible for part of the current problems.
Reproaches to Sánchez for his words to Begoña Gómez
The Vox leader took advantage of his appearance to question the priorities of the President of the Government and reproach him for his recent public statements directed at his wife, Begoña Gómez, during an electoral event.
"It is insulting that today the President of the Government dedicates himself to saying that he loves his wife in public and does not respond to all the concerns that plague all Spaniards", Garriga stated.
The general secretary also accused the PSOE of prioritizing its political interests over the problems of citizens and has revived his criticisms of the amnesty law and the actions of the Executive in the State institutions.
With this speech, Garriga insisted on the need to mobilize the Vox electorate on the upcoming 29N to, as he defended, "return the prominence to workers and Spanish families".
The response of Vox to the pact for the Senate
Abascal's statements come after the PSOE and Frente Amplio have reached an agreement to present joint candidacies for the Senate, a formula with which both forces seek to improve their electoral prospects in a Chamber where the majoritarian election system favors the most voted candidacies.
The alliance aims to prevent the dispersion of the vote among progressive formations and increase their chances of obtaining representation in the different constituencies. The agreement occurs, moreover, in the midst of the configuration of the electoral lists for the 29N.
For the moment, Abascal has not specified what measures Vox could adopt after this electoral movement. His reference to "broad-mindedness" and to doing "what is necessary" leaves the interpretation open regarding the next steps of the formation, without the leader having announced any electoral agreement with the Popular Party.
