Once the general elections on Sunday have passed, the PP of the Region of Murcia has contacted Vox on Tuesday “at the request of the president” of the party, Fernando López Miras, to propose a meeting tomorrow Wednesday in which to try again to reach an agreement to be able to carry out his investiture.
As PP sources have confirmed to EFE, the objective is to “unblock the current situation”, which for the moment has prevented the establishment of the new regional government. Miras thus intends to “reach an agreement” with Vox and thus avoid an electoral repetition, which would be mandatory if no president has been invested before September 7.
The same sources have indicated that the place that has been proposed to hold the meeting is the Regional Assembly of Murcia, in Cartagena, where the only meeting that has been held so far on July 4 has already been held.
More than two months have passed since the regional elections in which López Miras obtained 21 seats, two deputies with an absolute majority, compared to 13 for the PSOE, 9 for Vox and 2 for Podemos. The popular ones need the support of Vox to achieve the necessary absolute majority that they did not obtain in the failed investiture debate that took place on July 7 and 10, after the popular candidate refused to integrate the extreme right into his executive, a demand that Vox maintains.
Meanwhile, in Aragon, the regional leader of the PP, Jorge Azcón, is accelerating his contacts with the parties that have opened up to facilitating governance -Vox, Teruel Existe and the Aragonese Party- with a view to his inauguration as president of the Community, and although he maintains a lone government as a preference, he does not rule out any scenario or prejudge the result.
In a press conference at the headquarters of the Aragonese PP, Azcón has insisted that there is no alternative to a government presided over by the PP in Aragon and has completely ruled out that there could be an electoral repetition.
Today he will call the leaders of these three parties to reopen the negotiations for his investiture, which has a deadline of August 23, and the formation of a Government that has the support of the largest possible number of deputies in the Cortes de Aragón, without revealing whether it will offer specific positions to these formations.
Almost two months have passed since the regional elections that the PP won with 28 seats out of the 67 in the Cortes of Aragon and to be elected president in a first round, Azcón needs to achieve an absolute majority and he surpasses it with the seven deputies obtained by Vox, although his leader in Aragon, Alejandro Nolasco, has repeatedly warned him that he will not support his investiture if he leaves his formation out of the next Government of Aragon.
