The general secretary of the parliamentary group of Vox in Congress, José María Figaredo, has demanded this Saturday from the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, that he proceed to dissolve the Cortes and call for general elections, while stating that "the only hope" of the PSOE to prevail at the polls is "to steal them".
In an interview on the 'Parlamento' program of RNE, Figaredo pointed out that, in Vox's opinion, "morally," Sánchez should advance the elections, although he specified that, in his view, the head of the Executive "has shown not to have any kind of morality." Nevertheless, he emphasized that "the sooner" the elections are held, "the better".
The Vox leader has described the management of the PSOE at the head of the Executive as "disastrous" and, for this reason, maintains that their "only hope" at the polls "is to steal them." In this context, he reiterated his party's allegations of possible electoral fraud through the use of the so-called 'grandchildren's law' to modify the census. "If they can steal the elections, they will do it," he stated.
During the radio conversation, Figaredo emphasized that Sánchez must "resign" and "submit to judicial authority" for "treason," "corruption," and "mismanagement in economic and legal terms." However, he particularly focused on the crisis in Ceuta following the massive entry of immigrants from Morocco on July 30.
"The president knew there was a risk of invasion and decided to do nothing, voluntarily: that is the true betrayal," he argued. In this regard, he recalled that Vox has asked the PP to join their initiative to activate Article 102 of the Constitution in order to subject Sánchez to a process for treason.
Regarding the repeal in Congress of the two housing decrees, overturned with the votes against from the PP, Vox, and Junts, the general secretary of the parliamentary group of Vox stated that, in his opinion, Sánchez brought them to the Chamber without the necessary support "deliberately," with the intention of using them as a "smokescreen" to cover up his "terrifying corruption."
When asked whether Vox will assume any responsibility for the evictions that may occur from now on, as reproached by the Minister of Social Rights, Consumption, and Agenda 2030, Figaredo responded that "the responsibility is solely and exclusively of those who have been governing for eight years."
