Vox has encouraged this Wednesday the candidate of the Popular Party for the Presidency of the Government, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, to convince “a handful” of socialist deputies to support the investiture of the popular leader. Of course, these parliamentarians must belong, in the eyes of the extreme right, to the “good PSOE”, which it identifies with faces such as the president of Castilla La-Mancha, Emiliano García-Page.
In that hypothetical scenario —more typical, today, of science fiction— in which the popular tied up the votes of defecting deputies, the ultra formation assures that it would not block the investiture of Feijóo without asking in return to enter the central government.
Vox, which collapsed last electoral Sunday with a loss of more than half a million votes and twenty fewer seats, has made a move in the political chess of electoral pacts, despite the fact that they are convinced that electoral repetition is the most likely scenario, according to party sources.
The crossed vetoes between the extreme right and nationalist formations such as the PNV make arithmetic impossible for a possible investiture of the Popular Party candidate to succeed. Despite this, Feijóo —as he already assured on Sunday from the balcony of Génova, 13— continues to look for a way to get to La Moncloa. To this day, the numbers do not give him.
For this reason, from Vox —in an attempt not to blur in the media landscape— they have encouraged the leader of the popular to seek “five or six” deputies among “the socialists of Page or other sites in Spain” to prevent a new government progressive led by Pedro Sánchez.
“If he succeeds, of course Vox will not be an obstacle to avoid that government of national destruction,” he assured. “From there to saying that we are going to enter a government is an abyss,” she pointed out.
The words pronounced by Espinosa de los Monteros are practically the same words used by the party leader, Santiago Abascal, in an interview published this Wednesday, after he refused to answer questions from the press on Sunday after learning of the sharp drop suffered by the extreme right at the polls.
