The spokesperson for the Popular Group in Congress, Ester Muñoz, affirmed this Tuesday that expects agreements with Vox in Extremadura and Aragon to be closed shortly, and has stressed that she does not believe that the party of Santiago Abascal “wants electoral repetitions” in those autonomous communities.
“I have been asked on several occasions if I believed there were governments or if there would be electoral calls. And I always said and continue to maintain that there will be governments. I don't think Vox wants electoral repetitions because that goes against what the center-right voters of this party are asking for,” she declared, when asked if she believes Vox can paralyze negotiations given the call for early elections in Andalusia next May 17.
In an appearance before the media in Congress, after the meeting of the Board of Spokespersons, Muñoz recalled that, due to the elections in Castilla y León on March 15, “Vox paralyzed the negotiations, among other things, because there was a deadline.”
On this occasion, he continued, the calendar to form a government in Extremadura and Aragon concludes before the Andalusian elections take place, so there would be no margin for them to “block it”.
On May 3 and 4, the deadline expires for the Extremaduran María Guardiola and Jorge Azcón to be invested as presidents; if not achieved, the Parliaments will be dissolved and new elections will be called again in both territories.
Spain, ahead of the parties
Muñoz has insisted again that “there is a large majority of Spaniards” who “wants a right-wing government” that be “a spur against” Pedro Sánchez’s Executive and “do not want left-wing governments in their autonomous communities”.
“And that above the personal interests of each person, above the interests of Vox or the Popular Party, is Spain. The Spanish people are there,” he stated, adding that if Vox agrees with this statement, “it cannot block” center-right alternatives in those communities.
