“Oa, Oa, Oa, Feijóo to La Moncloa”, was the campaign cry with which the Murcians received Alberto Núñez Feijóo in a new one, demonstrating the euphoria that the PP is experiencing due to the good electoral expectations predicted by the polls, and more since Monday’s debate. That euphoria that scares the president of the PP, because he can fall into relaxation.
And Feijóo goes for all. The possibility of expanding his majority after the debate, and issues such as the blockade of the Murcia government, for demanding Vox enter the Government, the president of the PP throws in the rest and points to Abascal’s party as one of the parties that he does not You have to take care to be able to add, but of the parties that you have to beat so as not to depend on them.
Abascal’s party seems to be the party to beat now that his victory seems more incontestable than ever, and the call for a useful vote, without citing Vox, has become his rallying cry of the campaign. He asks Vox voters to make “a solid, focused and reformist government.” He asks for the vote “for a party that wants to govern alone”, and he asks for it to obtain “a majority like the one Aznar obtained in the year 200, when he achieved an absolute majority.
The president of the PP warns that there are multiple voting options for Sánchez to stay, starting with “voting for the Sanchista Party.” Also “vote for Sumar, which is a group of subtractions of people who have been angry with Podemos”, in third place “vote for ERC, Bildu and Puigdemont”, and lastly, but at the same level “for those who want him to govern the PP, but who do not vote for the PP”, in a clear allusion to Vox.
And it is that in the opinion of the president of the PP, “everyone will make it easier for Sánchez to stay in the Government after losing.” The example of Murcia is significant, for Feijóo, and he exploits it to call the vote on 23-J. “If Sanchismo and Vox want to remain allies” it will be confirmed, stressed the popular leader, “that we were right and have the same interests”, but he warns those of Vox, “if they continue to block the Government of Murcia, they will pay for it at the polls “. For this reason, he called on those of Vox to “cease irresponsibility and make the change that the citizens ask for”, and that “blackmail and clamps” end.
Feijóo’s visit to Murcia had a double meaning. It is not just about the fact that the president of the PP was accompanied by former president José María Aznar, accompanied by Ana Botella, but also the fact that the rally was held in Murcia, despite the 41 degrees that it was at that time in the city. Murcia, which still does not have a president because Fernando López Miras refuses to include Vox in his government and those of Abascal demand it to allow his election.
For the PP, the abstention of Vox is enough. You don’t even need to be upvoted. López Miras was two seats short of an absolute majority and obtained 43% of the votes. A true symbol of what can happen in Congress if Feijóo wins the elections with a large and overwhelming majority like the one requested by the popular president, but he needs Vox to be invested, even if he does not want to integrate him into the Government.
All a notice with which Feijóo alerts the citizens and with which he calls for a useful vote, trying to attract Vox votes to his candidacy, so that Santiago Abascal’s party does not condition him as would happen if the PP leader needed a favorable vote , because there is another government alternative, which does not happen in Murcia.
It was the message that Feijóo launched but that was corroborated by the acting president of Murcia, Fernando López Miras, who warned that if Vox “is capable of blocking by voting with the left, it can do so with Spain”, with which “the only useful vote for Throwing Pedro Sánchez out of La Moncloa is the vote for the PP and Alberto Núñez Feijoo, because it can happen that someone votes for Vox thinking that it is to throw Sánchez out, but they find that they later vote with Sánchez so that Feijoo is not president. He also accused Vox of having “pressed the button to repeat the elections.”
The former President of the Government, José María Aznar, referred to the situation in Murcia, to, above all, send messages to Vox and Santiago Abascal. The first, that “if they keep putting spokes on the wheel, the spokes will fall off and the bike will continue”; that “this is not the time to put sticks in the wheels. That they are wrong”. That they are going to be wrong, and he called on Vox voters, without citing him, to join the vast majority that Feijóo needs, “a solid and strong majority”, greater than expected, he predicted.
And another message, which seemed to be addressed directly to Santiago Abascal, although he did not mention him or his party. For this, he resorted to a phrase from a great politician, he said, whose name he did not give, who said that if a statesman expects to be thanked when he leaves, it is because he is not a great statesman, which translated into the situation summed up as “whoever is not capable of assessing the historical moment they are living is because they are not a political leader”. On the contrary, he considers that Alberto Núñez Feijóo is, “because he understands the moment” and “does not aspire to the Government to be in the government, but to improve Spain.”
