The general secretary of the PSOE of Extremadura, Guillermo Fernández Vara, has announced this Tuesday that the PSOE “is going to try to govern” because it won the regional elections last Sunday and will stand for the investiture as president of the Board, and if he is not elected , will start a process of “relief in the PSOE”.
Fernández Vara has reaffirmed that “it is unquestionable” that the PSOE won the regional, municipal and provincial elections this past Sunday, so now “it remains to be seen whether who won the elections can govern, or whether the that they have lost”, after which he has advocated that there be “stability” in Extremadura and that “there be no problems”.
In this context, the socialist leader has assured that his “future is the least of it”, but he has advanced that if he is not finally elected president of the Junta de Extremadura in this legislature, then “I will facilitate the replacement in the PSOE”, and it will be “there facilitating it and helping so that the PSOE becomes the reference party again”.
Thus, and in response to the request made this past Monday by the president of the PP of Extremadura, MarÃa Guardiola, for the PSOE to abstain and let it govern, Vara blurted out: “When has it happened in history that the party that wins abstain so that the loser governs?”, after which he reaffirmed that “that does not seem reasonable”
Guillermo Fernández Vara has spoken in this way at a press conference on Tuesday afternoon in Mérida after the meeting of the Regional Executive Commission that the PSOE of Extremadura has held to analyze the electoral results of the past 28M and the future of its secretary general.
