“There will be no rupture or retaliation. The best Government in Spain is that of Castilla y León”, Santiago Abascal said yesterday in Valladolid. But the dilemma facing the ultra-right is to decide if it also aspires to govern Spain, for which it must abandon its maximalism and allow the popular to moderate its discourse to get closer to the political center, or remain firm in its doctrine at the cost of remaining in the opposition so as not to disappoint their followers by agreeing with reality.
Sources who are well acquainted with the ins and outs of the formation point out that up to now the theses of the most dogmatic have been imposed, the entourage of Jorge Buxadé, Javier Ortega Smith and Ignacio Garriga, who do not renounce the essence of the permanent agitation of their wars. -against abortion, the trans law, Muslim immigration, etc.- and prefer to wait until Alberto Núñez Feijóo fails or has to be invested with the abstention of the PSOE, as happened with Mariano Rajoy, to present himself as his natural replacement, image and likeness of what happened in Italy with Georgia Meloni.
In this sense, these sources point to the “immaturity” of the project, even though in Castilla y León a first embryo of shared governance has been launched, which is an “ordeal”, they say, for the president of the Board, Alfonso Fernandez Manueco. As it has been for the Madrid president, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, who said yesterday that she fears finding herself in the campaign with demonstrations against her by Hazte Oír, and described Vox as “irresponsible” for rejecting her budgets after Rocío Monasterio, with whom the lack of harmony is manifest, it has supported the PP throughout the legislature. Together they have passed 26 laws.
Thus, the ultranationalist leader spoke of a Congress full of “miserable and traitors” to defend the suitability of the motion of censure of Ramón Tamames, branded as “childish” by Feijóo, and announced that he will not substantially change the relationship with the PP although with its abstention “reached out to the PSOE”.
“Since they are the same, they are not capable of proposing an alternative, they just want to wait for the elections and take over,” criticized Abascal, for whom Ayuso “has gotten angry because he wants privileges for foreign millionaires.” “Who is in charge in the PP?” asked the president of Vox, who reiterated that the Castilla y León model is an “example for all of Spain.”
