Zaragoza (EFE).- The Aragón-Teruel Existe coalition values abstention to prevent Vox from participating in the formation of the Aragonese Government, on the condition of “putting some basic issues on paper”, such as the fight against depopulation, medical transport for 24 hours or the study of renewables.
This was confirmed this Friday by Tomás Guitarte, candidate of the Aragón-Teruel Existe coalition, after finishing his meeting, within the round of negotiations for the governance of the Community, with the president of the Partido Popular de Aragón, Jorge Azcón.
As Guitarte has assured, from the formation they do not share “the block strategy” that “hooliganism” seeks, so “the effort is going to be made” and “work for objectives and the fulfillment of projects”.
“A PP-Vox government is not favourable”
“For Aragon, a government with PP and Vox is not favorable, so if we can avoid it by abstaining, we value it,” stressed the leader of Teruel Existe, who has stressed the need to “have common sense and reflection” in making decisions.
Along these lines, Guitarte has remarked that “certain conditions must be outlined” for his abstention, despite the fact that “as paradoxical as it may seem, aspects such as renewables are closer to the PP than to the PSOE” even with “differences”.
“We are not going to do it to sit down to add for an arithmetic exercise. There must be a prior agreement on the content. The differences still exist. Either they are corrected or it will be difficult to have agreements ”, she has warned, however.
For his part, the popular leader has admitted that the meeting has been “cordial” and has thanked the coalition for its position, “because it is being coherent and there is a bridge of dialogue to deal with the governability of Aragon.”
The PP continues to explore all paths
Although “there is nothing definitive” and the Popular Party is going to “explore all paths”, Azcón has stressed that the commitments they assume will be fulfilled.
However, the popular candidate for the Presidency of Aragon has recognized that “the arithmetic of the elections determines the possibilities of forming a government” and “governance can be obtained with different scenarios.”
Given this, Jorge Azcón explained that they are going to finish the round of contacts and speak with all the political formations and then they will reveal the steps to follow”.
