Neither PP nor Vox have any intention of modifying their relationship in the Valencian Community, where both parties govern the Consell together and share power in the Valencian Courts. Despite the breakdown of relations at the national level, both parties made an effort yesterday to make it clear that their agreements are not going to be modified, nor will the tone be increased or the Executive will be tense to show that distancing that was announced at the national level. , where it is true that PP and Vox did not have any agreement.
The general secretary of Vox, Ignacio Garriga, already said that the regional agreements would not be broken and that was very evident yesterday in the Economy, Budgets and Finance commission that was held yesterday in the Valencian Parliament. Both parties voted together on the amendments they presented to the Accompaniment Law and used their parliamentary majority to overturn a large part of the opposition proposals in this debate.
“As can be seen in the votes, it is a single and united government,” defended the PP ombudsman, Miguel Barrachina. Along the same lines, Vox deputy José María Llanos wanted to make it clear that “the situation at the national level is one, and at this time, and let us thank God for the benefit it represents for Valencians, at least in our community it is other”. A shocking speech for a formation as centralized as Vox.
However, during his intervention before the media, Llanos highlighted that in Garriga’s intervention “of course, nothing was said about the autonomous communities, where government agreements are being scrupulously fulfilled.”
Along these lines, as could be seen in the commission, PP and Vox maintain unity of action in the Valencian Parliament and it does not seem that the change of course decreed by those of Santiago Abascal at the national level is going to affect the roadmap drawn In the Valencian community. In fact, one of the issues that draws the most attention from the amendments presented is precisely the withdrawal of two of them that directly affected the configuration and composition of the governing bodies of À Punt and the lowering of the maximum investment allowed in the regional television.
Two amendments that the president of the Generalitat Valenciana, Carlos Mazón, ordered to withdraw as a gesture to the opposition and that Vox has swallowed despite the fact that, as La Vanguardia has learned, they did not like the announcement of the head of the Consell. We must not forget that a month before the regional elections, the party led by Santiago Abascal wrote in its profile of the parliamentary group of the Corts Valencianes that À Punt was “a waste of everyone’s money and a separatist indoctrination machine.” ”. To which they added: “Take advantage of what you have left in the convent, because we are going to close it to you.”
Asked if he was okay with the withdrawal of amendments, Llanos told journalists that “the consensus between the two groups is total both in the amendments we presented and in those we withdrew.” However, he slipped: “Vox and the PP are two different parties and if Vox had an absolute majority there are probably some issues that it would have addressed differently.”
Sources from the party emphasized this idea and assumed that with 13 deputies, their ability to influence is what it is and that sometimes they have to bow to the PP’s positions. And, for now, they are doing it without generating media noise to the joy of Carlos Mazón and his people.
