The general secretary of Vox, Ignacio Garriga, has warned that the elections of next 29 November could be "the last opportunity to reverse the chaos" that, according to his party, the president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, has generated in Spain. In this line, he has accused the head of the Executive of acting repeatedly against the national interests. "Whenever he has been able to, he has worked against the interests of Spaniards," he has denounced, insisting on the urgency of a change at La Moncloa.
Garriga made these statements to the media after touring this Wednesday, amid the general strike day, the Mercado Municipal de Torrefiel, in València. On his visit he was accompanied by the top-listed candidate of Vox for the Congress for Valencia on 29N, Ignacio Gil Lázaro, as well as by the number two of the candidacy for the Senate with the PP and former Minister of Agriculture, José Luis Aguirre.
During his speech, the Vox leader recalled that "we have been suffering for eight years a Government, a Socialist Party that has governed against the interests of Spaniards and whenever it has had the opportunity, it has shown it." In this context, he mentioned the "tragic floods in Valencia" of 29 October 2024, when "the Government of Spain said that thing about whoever wants help, let them ask for it."
Garriga added that the central Executive has "abandoned" the Ceutans, "our fellow countrymen on --the island of-- El Hierro" and "has not hesitated to condemn us to blackouts, something that we had never before suffered in our nation because it complied with those ideological laws that its partners in Brussels demanded of it."
Given this situation, the general secretary of Vox has called for massive participation at the polls on 29 November, a call he has described as "perhaps the last opportunity to reverse the chaos to which Pedro Sánchez has condemned us." Likewise, he stressed that the next Government, in his view, must "lower taxes, guarantee security, make it easier for small and medium-sized business owners and recover the role of education as a social ladder for working families."
