Madrid, June 14 (EFE).- Just one day after the PP and Vox announced a “firm principle of agreement” to govern in coalition in the Valencian Community, the party of Alberto Núñez Feijóo has put the counterpoint in Murcia on Wednesday by excluding those of Santiago Abascal from the Regional Parliament Board.
A decision that the president of Vox Murcia, José Ángel Antelo, has immediately interpreted as “Genoa has decided that in the Region of Murcia it is necessary to go to elections.”
“The PP has just shown that it wants a call for elections,” Antelo underlined visibly angry, although at the same time he has assured that his party maintains an “outstretched hand” towards the PP and has guaranteed that the pacts in town halls continue.
The same “outstretched hand” that the parliamentary spokesman of the Murcian PP, Joaquín Segado, has offered despite everything, who has stated that “when the time comes to negotiate” the investiture of Fernando López Miras, it will be seen “what are the conditions of each one”.
From the PP they insist that the negotiation in Murcia with the one that the party is carrying out in other communities cannot be extrapolated, since there they have touched the absolute majority and achieved the third best result at the national level.
PP AND VOX DEVELOP THE VALENCIAN PACT
While the situation is tense in Murcia, in Valencia the PP and Vox have held their first meeting this Wednesday to advance the development of the government pact, although without yet talking about the structure of the regional Executive, although the future president of the Generalitat , Carlos Mazón, has indicated that Education and Health are “keys” for the PP and that he has a person in mind for the first.
It has also advanced that one of its first measures in educational matters will be to eliminate the Office of Linguistic Rights created by the Government of the PSOE-Compromís-Unides Podem in 2017, which it has referred to as the “Linguistic Police Office”.
The pact in the Valencian Community has been criticized again today from the PSOE and, among the various reactions in the socialist ranks, the Minister of Finance and Deputy Secretary General of the party, María Jesús Montero, has made ugly the PP that “far from a line red”, he is laying out “a red carpet” for Vox to govern together, which means in his opinion that both parties share an “electoral ticket”.
A criticism to which the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has replied by saying that the PSOE has “no legitimacy to give lessons” to his party after having agreed with the independentistas and with Bildu the Government of Spain.
AGREEMENTS THREE DAYS AFTER THE CONSTITUTION OF THE MUNICIPALITIES
Meanwhile, when there are only three days left for the constitution of the town halls next Saturday, PP and Vox continue to announce agreements, such as the one today in Burgos, where the popular candidate, Cristina Ayala, would become the mayoress, and the representative of the formation of Abascal Fernando Martínez Acitores, would be the vice mayor.
Both parties have also closed their first agreements in Asturias -Tineo- and Cantabria -Santa Cruz de Bezana-, while the PP has reached an agreement with Unidas Podemos to seize the Toledo City Council of La Guardia from the PSOE.
Upon hearing the news, Podemos has assured that it will expel its three councilors if they finally sign the government pact with the PP.
The trickle of agreements also concerns the rest of the parties. In Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the PSOE, Nueva Canarias and Unidas Sí Podemos have closed an agreement to govern in coalition for four more years with the former socialist minister Carolina Darias as mayoress, and in Deba (Gipuzkoa), the Elkarrekin Orain Deba platform, linked a Podemos, has reached an agreement with the PNV that will displace EH Bildu from the Mayor’s Office.
In Catalonia, what two days after the municipal elections were calls to reconstitute the independence unit has become, two weeks later, a new open war between ERC and JxCat, as a result of the pacts with the PSC in town halls and councils .
The trigger for the new public confrontation – today in the plenary session of Parliament – has been the pact between the ERC and PSC in the Lleida and Tarragona councils, whose presidency will remain in Republican hands.
