The deputy secretary general of the PSOE and Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero, has transferred this Wednesday all the responsibility of the pact between the PP and Vox to govern the Valencian Community to the leader of the main opposition party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, whom he has accused to put a “red carpet” for the extreme right to enter the institutions.
Montero, in an interview on TVE, has accused Feijóo of “hiding” and “not showing his face” before the pact signed yesterday between the two right-wing parties and which will mean the investiture of the PP candidate, Caros Mazón, and the entry of Vox in the Generalitat, an attitude that for the minister “is not trustworthy” after describing the pact as “shameful”.
“Far from putting a red line on it, they are putting a red carpet on it,” lamented the socialist leader, alluding to Feijóo, President Pedro Sánchez’s main rival in the elections that will be held in just over a month, before which he has warned that “It will be indistinguishable from voting for the PP or voting for Vox” while warning of “denialist policies on climate change or violence against women.”
The minister has also ruined the aspirations of the PP to govern the country alone because “he says one thing before entering the institutions and then does another” and has warned of the “great concern” that, in his opinion, there is in Europe for the possible entrance of the extreme right in the institutions.
For the person in charge of the Treasury, in addition, the exclusion of the Vox candidate for the Generalitat Valenciana, Carlos Flores, convicted of mistreatment of his ex-wife to head the list of Santiago Abascal for Valencia does not suppose any mitigation of the pact since, as he has maintained, Feijóo in Valencia “is agreeing with a head of the list convicted of gender violence.”
Montero has confirmed the plans of the Socialists to face as many debates as possible during the campaign and has taken advantage of the indecision of the popular in the question of face to face to accuse Feijóo of having “a dangerous road map that they do not want to tell” and for this reason “they do not dare to debate”. “The PP has not explained its political program or what its alternative is,” Montero has indicated that he has urged Feijóo to clearly say what he wants to repeal from the coalition government.
