The Frente Amplio candidate for the 29N elections, Ada Colau, has censured that the leader of Vox, Santiago Abascal, set himself to launch “many lies,” “false information,” and “insults” during the interview he gave this Monday on the program “La Revuelta,” and has emphasized that she expects those statements to be answered at the polls on 29N.
In a subsequent interview in the same TVE program presented by the comedian David Broncano, and broadcast by Europa Press, Colau began her remarks by referring to the appearance of the Vox president the night before, whom she reproached for having expressed opinions that, in her view, violate human rights.
Colau, who has described Abascal as the “lord of the far right,” has countered that she takes part in the program without demanding a tailored audience, unlike what she attributes to the Vox leader, and has celebrated that those who cheered her on Monday were not present.
Next, she reiterated that the leader of Vox spread “many false information” that can be easily refuted. “Some as incredible as that the housing problem is due to gender policies, or climate denialism, or migrant people who say that they take all the aid, something that is a lie according to all official data, and that those falsehoods cannot go unanswered,” she stressed.
For that reason, she said she trusts that the country’s social majority will have “these false information” and “insults” from Vox in mind when the polls open on 29N and that “they will refute them at the polls.” In addition, she defended that there is “shared responsibility” for “this far-right gentleman, whom I am not going to say the name of” to stop occupying the center of public debate.
The priority: to stop a “fasces government”
The Frente Amplio candidate for Moncloa has stressed that the main goal of her formation is to ensure that “there is no fasces government” in Spain and has asserted that, fortunately, the country enjoys a diverse society, largely thanks to immigration.
On the contrary, she warned, the scenario would be “boring” and “sad,” in the same way, as she quipped, that “yesterday’s gentleman” was, “indeed, very sad and very boring.”
