The president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, considers that “the rupture of the center right”, divided between the PP and Vox, is what has allowed Pedro Sánchez to govern with Sumar and the independentistas, and it is the same, in his opinion, that can happen in Galicia in the elections that will take place on February 18.
In an interview on EsRadio, the popular leader warned that now, in the Galician elections and Vox, which according to all the polls will not get more than two percent of the votes and therefore zero deputies, can harm the absolute majority that in Today the PP has. For this reason, Feijóo warns Abascal and his voters that “any vote in favor of Vox is so that the independence movement can govern in Galicia.”
Feijóo considers that the fact that Vox is running in the Galician elections “is a mistake from a technical point of view.” If what Abascal wants is to “end Sanchismo and the independence movement, not running gives more chances of maintaining the current majority of the PP, instead of the BNG governing.
Feijóo has studied it, the presentation of Vox can harm the absolute majority of the PP, without obtaining any seats, and not presenting itself can give the PP two or three more seats than the absolute majority.
For the popular leader, it is the same thing that already happened in the general elections, when he warned Abascal that if he obtained 52 seats in the previous legislature, there had been seven provinces in which he had not obtained a seat, with lower vote expectations. 23-J, it was very difficult to obtain representation in those provinces.
Vox appeared in all the provinces and, although Feijóo understands Abascal’s reasons, the result was that the PP did not have the opportunity to win one more seat in La Rioja, Asturias, Burgos, Lleida, Girona, etc. Some seats that would have given the sum of Vox and PP the absolute majority and Sánchez would not be governing. Feijóo considers that Vox’s attitude was then “a historical error, from a practical point of view.”
If this had happened, Spain would not now be debating the amnesty or the transfer of immigration powers, or all the proposals that the Government is making and that in its opinion are “an amendment to the entire 45 years of the Constitution and of rule of law”.
And the worst, he stressed, is yet to come, because “no one can be sure that there will not be a self-determination referendum, or that ETA prisoners will be pardoned,” in the “humiliation” to which they have been subjected. Together with the Government, and with an adversary, Pedro Sánchez, of whom he now knows that “he has no limits, he does not know the basic principles of politics” and he only thinks of him, when in his opinion, “sometimes, defending Spain can entail the loss of the Government”.
Hence, Alberto Núñez Feijóo is clear about his objective: “Defend the Constitution, so that the constitutional edifice does not crumble and maintain the territorial integrity of the State.” He will do it with all the instruments at his disposal, including the Senate, from which the PP, Feijóo assures, will oppose everything that comes from Congress.
