The president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has clearly distanced himself from Santiago Abascal due to his words about Pedro Sánchez. The president of Vox assured the Argentine media Clarín that “there will be a time when the people will want to hang the head of the Executive by his feet, in a clear reference to the end of Benito Mussolini, whose body was exhibited in that way in Milan.
The PSOE demanded that Feijóo strongly condemn them and break his governments with Vox. The leader of the PP has clearly rejected them during an interview in The Critical Look: “Not only are they condemnable, but we have nothing to do with them. They are regrettable and do not deserve further observation than their condemnation.”
For the ‘popular’ leader, Abascal plays “a great game” for Sánchez’s interests. “These words are in the same line as Pedro Sánchez’s about building a wall between the two Spains,” lamented the head of the main opposition party.
As soon as the interview ended, PSOE sources replied that Feijóo is “incapable of condemning the words of the neo-fascist Santiago Abascal, his government partner in the CCAA and city councils, without adding buts that end up practically blaming the President of the Government.” And he demands again that he break all his local and regional agreements with Vox in response to some words “never seen in these years of democracy.”
On the other hand, Feijóo called Pedro Sánchez’s offer to create a working commission on the renewal of the CGPJ “paripé”: “I am not here to whitewash the PSOE for what it does. I was not born yesterday. They want to say that they talk so much with the independentists as with the PP”. “We have the Congress and the Senate” to negotiate, he added, “but I don’t think they will proceed.”
