In the PP they do not pick up the gauntlet thrown by the formation of Santiago Abascal demanding a public gesture from the winner of the general elections before holding a meeting with the King this Tuesday within the round of contacts for a possible investiture. “Vox usually keeps the word it gives, it usually fulfills its commitments, and, therefore, we are convinced that there are no reasons why it should not be fulfilled now at the key moment, which is the moment of truth”, they settle in Genoa.
They have done it through the mouth of their general coordinator, Elías Bendodo, who in an interview on RNE has stated that the alternative scenario to a possible solo government of Alberto Núñez Feijóo would be an Executive supported by “24 parties, the 18 of Add more 5 independentists and nationalists”: “[Pedro] Sánchez is plan b for Spain and plans b are always botched.”
Vox has once again turned around its political strategy by going from unconditionally supporting the investiture of the PP candidate three weeks ago, not even having a share of power in a hypothetical coalition, to asking him for a pronouncement on whether they are going to maintain the “drift” of excluding them with an “anti-democratic sanitary cordon” like the one that has left them off the Table of Congress, despite being the third most voted force. And in Genoa, at least publicly, they have chosen to directly close that door.
Bendodo has argued that more than 11 million Spaniards “voted for change” on 23-J, including in these calculations the votes received by Abascal (who obtained 33 deputies) in addition to those that resulted in his 137 parliamentarians and those who gave a representative of the Union of the Navarro People (UPN) and another to Coalición Canaria (CC). “We cannot disappoint those expectations”, has warned the Number Three of the popularwho is confident that Feijóo can attend the meeting with Felipe VI this afternoon with those 172 moored supports.
