The region of Murcia The countdown has started to invest the candidate as president popular and election winner, Fernando López Miras, or call elections. The blockade that prevents the formation of a government will end on September 7, either with an agreement between the People’s Party y Vox or with a call to the polls. Neither of the two parties like this scenario, but no one relents in their position. Not even the national spin of the party of Santiago Abascal offering to Núñez Feijóo their unconditional support has untied the knot that prevents the formation of a government.
The leader of the formation in Murcia, Jose Angel Antelo. «The decisions that are made at the national level do not have an impact on the Region of Murcia, since they are different scenarios. We have obtained a representation of almost 18% of Murcians and we will fight so that their interests are taken into account, “he said in a statement hours after Abascal reached out to the PP.
This attitude of the national leader has been described as “exercise of responsibility” by Lopez Miras. «It shows a sense of State. And I think that that same responsibility, that sense of State, Vox of the Region of Murcia would also have to apply, unblocking the situation, “warned the acting president.
Murcia is, together with Navarra, the only community that has not formed a government and the first in the history of autonomism that may be forced to call its citizens to the polls due to the impossibility of reaching agreements. The parties have not met since July 4, when the PP expressed its intention to govern alone, agreeing to 88 measures, ceding the vice-presidency of the Regional Assembly and appointing the former president Albert Garre, now in Vox, as an autonomous senator. They were relying on their 43% of votes and the 21 deputies (47% of the Assembly), only two of the majority.
Vox’s response, after the agreement in the Valencian Community, was to claim the vice presidency and two ministries between Agriculture, Education, Family or Economy. Given the refusal to this “blackmail”, two failed votes and a month-long blockade watered by mutual accusations.
