Although the leadership of the PP does not miss the opportunity to say that the territories will be the ones who decide the pacts to form the town halls and the Autonomous Communities, in Genoa there are preferences, and this was made known this Wednesday by the general secretary of the PP, Cuca Gamarra. It is a question of constituting “strong and stable governments, in the minority.”
With this statement, the number two of the PP responds to the Vox spokesman in Congress, who this morning reproached the PP for “little desire to negotiate” at least until now, referring to the talks that are being held in Valladolid and Burgos, where The agreement between PP and Vox would guarantee them to unseat the current mayors, the socialists Óscar Puente and Daniel de la Rosa, since if an agreement is not reached they would remain in the hands of the PSOE as they are the lists with the most votes.
Espinosa de los Monteros reminded the PP that already during the campaign the president of Vox, Santiago Abascal, said that whoever wanted Vox’s votes had to “respect their voters”, and that after the elections this means “entering the governments in those places where they think it makes sense”, since Vox aspires to transform Spain, and that is done from the governments.
The number two of the PP replied to the Vox spokesperson, in the corridors of Congress, that the priority of the PP is to have “solid and strong governments”, after the stage of weak governments that Spain has had, and the popular ones are of the opinion that this is achieved with governments in which only the PP is present, although they are open to reaching programmatic agreements in the legislature, in exchange for Vox facilitating the PP governments.
In any case, there is another thing that worries the PP and that is that in the general elections its electorate, the one that supported it in the May 28 elections, will mobilize. This is what the PP campaign committee analyzed, meeting yesterday in Génova street, after which it asked the Government to adopt “urgently” the necessary measures so that citizens can exercise the right to vote by mail “with full normality “, in elections called “in the middle of the vacation exodus and with extremely high temperatures that in many parts of Spain could exceed 40 degrees.”
What the PP demands of the Sánchez Executive is that it guarantee “the material and human resources in the public bodies that participate in the vote-by-mail procedure.” Specifically, it requests that the Government give the necessary instructions to “increase and reinforce, today better than tomorrow”, the staff in the consular and provincial offices of the electoral census.
In the opinion of the popular, Sánchez “intends to perpetuate himself in power by demobilizing the population”, while the PP intends the opposite, “to offer all the facilities so that citizens can exercise their constitutional right”.
The first decision of the PP campaign committee has been to design a set of actions aimed at closing the electoral lists, the electoral program and the events that will be held throughout Spain in the coming days. In this sense, the committee expressed its satisfaction with the “extremely high level of mobilization of the party” and the desire of the different territorial organizations to change and give an 80 degree turn “to the model of Spain that Sánchez has established in his five years of government”.
“The party finds its machinery perfectly oiled and ready to win elections that mean a change of course in our country, both from the economic, social and institutional point of view,” say sources from the campaign committee, who stress that ” We will win and rule.”
