Jorge Azcón is determined to govern Aragon alone. Neither the volleys of Santiago Abascal last weekend in Zaragoza, where he again demanded the entry of his party into the Executive, nor what happened this Monday in the Murcian parliament, with the ultra-right dynamiting the investiture of his colleague Fernando Miras, seem make a dent in the will of the popular candidate for the Aragonese presidency, who is convinced of reaching an agreement similar to the one achieved by his party in the Balearic Islands.
It is not a new position. Already in the campaign, Azcón maintained actively and passively that he aspired to a monocolor government, an approach that he has reiterated since he began the round of contacts with the rest of the parties after the elections to negotiate his investiture.
To achieve his objective, he needs at least the abstention of the seven Vox deputies (their support would directly grant him an absolute majority). However, the extreme right has already said that it wants to be in the Government, a position that they have strengthened in their latest interventions .
“We believe that the model of the Valencian Community is the appropriate model for Aragon,” Abascal said last Saturday in the Aragonese capital, where he assured that he “will not sacrifice” this autonomous community or facilitate a Government in which Teruel Existes participates, to the that he accused of agreeing with Sánchez and with Bildu.
Even so, Azcón reiterated today that there is the possibility of a solo government and that they will negotiate Vox’s abstention, for which they are exchanging programmatic documents (something they also do with other formations such as Teruel Existe and the Aragonese Party).
“It is evident that we do not expect a scenario of a repetition of the elections in Aragon. I am going to continue looking for a government alone: ??I have not changed my approach to carrying out an investiture when we have tied the votes in favor and the abstentions necessary to have a government alone for four years, which is what the Aragonese want”, he reiterated Azcon.
Regarding the new vote against Vox this Monday for the investiture of López Miras in Murcia, he said that, by joining the PSOE and Podemos, he has made “a Frankenstein to the Murcian” and that he has decided who has won the elections “take the risk that new elections could be held.
The general secretary of the PP, Cuca Gamarra, who was present today in Zaragoza at an event with businessmen and a subsequent meeting with some thirty popular mayors, insisted on this same line.
The popular lamented that Vox had “allied” with the left and blocked Miras despite having garnered 43% of the votes, for which reason she called for concentrating the vote in the face of 23-J to overcome “the block policies and blocks”.
“Murcia is a good example for the Spanish to take note and those who want to repeal sanchismo to unite around the PP ballot,” he claimed.
