Vox has once again slammed the door on the PP. This time, and again, in Murcia, many wonder if it could be a preview of what Santiago Abascal will demand of Alberto Núñez Feijóo when they sit down to talk about the formation of the Government. In Murcia, the far-right party did not even attend the meeting they had planned in the Murcia Regional Assembly, to try to unblock the formation of the Government, blocked after the failed investiture of the PP candidate, Fernando López Miras, during the electoral campaign, both on first and second ballot.
Vox decided not to attend the meeting after learning about the PP’s intentions, which proposed giving Abascal’s party representation on the Murcia Regional Assembly Table, and giving him an autonomous deputy, but not entering the regional government, which López Miras wants it to be the PP alone, considering that being two seats away from the absolute majority, it only needs the abstention of Vox, not the vote in favor.
“Not like that. So there is no hope or possibility” of forming the government that Murcia needs, said the spokesman for Vox in the Murcia Assembly, Rubén Martínez Alpañez, after standing up for the PP. And it is that for Abascal’s party, the vice presidency of the Government, “is non-negotiable” as is the entry of Vox into the Governing Council. Specifically, Vox demands the vice presidency of the regional government and two councils.
The only thing the door is open to is to talk about the ministries, once the coalition government is formed, to see what powers it would be better for Vox to carry, after 28 years of PP governments, although it pointed to Health , Education or Economy.
Rubén Martínez also criticized that they have to find out through the media what the PP is going to offer them at the meeting to which they had been summoned, and for that reason they decided not to attend. “Not that way. This is not how a solid and stable government is formed », he sentenced. Vox’s deputy spokesman is convinced that the PP prefers to go to the repeat elections, to see if it gets the two seats it lacks for an absolute majority and not depend on Vox.
It is the same as what the PP thinks, that after Vox slammed the door, its spokesman in the Regional Assembly, Joaquín Salgado, called for Vox’s “dialogue and responsibility” to resume negotiations, although they also believe that Abascal’s party has already opted “for the repetition of elections”.
It is an option that nobody wants, stressed the popular spokesperson, who considers that the suspension of the meeting is evidence that “Vox wants elections. That today they did not want to sit down to negotiate is proof of this.”
