The national spokesperson for Vox on Immigration, Home Affairs and Security, Samuel Vázquez, has called in Segovia for political action to prevent immigration from altering the identity of neighborhoods, and has pointed to “squatting” as one of the factors that, in his view, increase insecurity in certain urban areas.
In remarks to the media, Vázquez has shown his support for the workers who suffer “violence at the hands of the militias of Pedro Sánchez” within the framework of a general strike that he has attributed to a Government call “against their own people”.
He also had words of encouragement for the people affected by the latest spell of heavy rainfall.
As the head of the list for Ávila, he recalled that the Bruna and Charles storms have hit the south of the province hard, especially the Tiétar Valley, where Piedralaves has had to be evacuated, and he expressed his wish that the day could unfold normally.
In laying out Vox’s central message in this election campaign, he concentrated the party’s offer in three axes: remigration, deregulation, and national priority.
“Neighborhoods cannot stop being our neighborhoods,” he emphasized, “or for social dynamics and cultures different from those inherited from previous generations to be imposed.”
He linked this approach to the situation of young people in Segovia, who “leave because of lack of opportunities,” and he criticized those who congratulate themselves on replacing them with workers from other countries to fill jobs in the city.
As he defended it, his party aims “to create the conditions so that no young person has to leave, so that those who have already left return, and so that more people from Segovia are born.”
In the chapter on “deregulation,” he demanded “stopping the slaughtering of workers through taxes,” and questioned the use made of public funds, alluding to people who “end up placed” in public companies such as Renfe, which he linked to deaths in rail accidents.
He said that these proposals converge in Vox’s campaign slogan, focused on “national priority”.
To explain that idea, he turned to the example of a competition for protected housing in which, he said, nobody would give the house to someone from outside before “their own brother.”
He insisted that “national priority is not hate for what’s out there; it is love for what’s in here,” and he stressed that “any society protects its own first.”
As part of the relationship between "'squatting' and insecurity in the neighborhoods", Vázquez has warned that many residents of Segovia think that the problem still does not affect them because the same impact that is observed in other places is not yet seen in the city.
In this regard, he has used the expression "migratory invasion" to describe the phenomenon and has assured that it hits especially working-class neighborhoods.
Finally, he has emphasized that this reality is not first seen "in the palaces of glass where Irene Montero lives", but "in the neighborhoods where humble people work".
