PP y Vox have ended their hostilities in Murcia with a government pact that will guarantee the popular Fernando López Miras to succeed in an investiture whose celebration has been agreed for this Wednesday and Thursday in the Regional Assembly. Both parties, which will thus avoid electoral repetition, are now finalizing the programmatic agreement, that is, the fine print of a pact that will give birth, as Vox demanded, to a coalition Executive.
The agreement also serves to grease the relationship between the two parties at the national level, as it comes just before the meeting between Alberto Núñez Feijóo and Santiago Abascal with a view to the investiture session of the PP leader at the end of September. The president of Vox, in fact, welcomed the new entente reached in Murcia on Monday as an opportunity to open “a new stage of understanding” with the popular, after the disagreement over the PP’s refusal to facilitate Vox’s entry into the Congress table.
Although genoa frame the agreement sealed in Murcia in the “autonomy” of López Miras, the truth is that the acting president of the Region of Murcia himself has recognized this Monday on Onda Cero that the investiture of Feijóo has weighed in some way on the decision to give in to Vox, which since 28-M has not moved an inch from its position of entering the regional government. The regional leader of the PP has admitted that in order to close the pact with the formation that he leads in Murcia Jose Angel Antelo The fact that Vox will in turn support Feijóo’s investiture has had an influence.
“It does not escape me that the situation in the Region of Murcia would also influence the national situation,” said López Miras. In other words, a total break between the PP and Vox in Murcia could have derailed Feijóo’s own talks with Abascal.
In fact, from Vox it has been pointed out that the one who has moved from its initial position has been the PP, which from the beginning maintained its intention to govern alone despite not having an absolute majority in the Assembly. In the failed investiture session in July, López Miras went so far as to accuse Antelo that the only thing he aspired to was to step on the carpet: “What they want are armchairs and they don’t care about the powers they assume.”
