Mérida (EFE) yesterday in the constitution of the regional Parliament between PP and Vox.
In the press conference after the Governing Council, Fernández Vara has asked the rest of the formations to abstain and to allow the list with the most votes, which is that of the PSOE, to govern “and stop playing with Extremadura”, to the that PP and Vox use as a “laboratory” to make their experiences.
Faced with the possibility of a repeat of the elections, he has assured that he has not thought about whether he will present himself as a candidate again, and has added that next Friday there will be an executive from the PSOE and a regional committee and that will begin to outline the dates and the new situation , although he acknowledges that after yesterday “some very curious things have happened.”
He accuses the PP of frivolity
Fernández Vara has also accused PP and Vox of “playing a game of chess” in which Extremadurans are their “pawns”.
In addition, he has described as “the most frivolous things” that he has heard that the PP candidate, María Guardiola, has assured, “after blowing up the bridges” with Vox to form a government that “if it is necessary to go to elections again, he will go ”.
In his opinion, these words from Guardiola are “of enormous gravity”, since he does not care that more than two million euros have to be spent again, that there is no new government until January 2024, that there are no budgets or they run the risk of certification of projects receiving European funds.
Regarding whether he believes it possible that despite what happened, there may be an agreement between PP and Vox, he has indicated that “we will have to ask the head of the laboratory, those above, who are the ones who decide”, since those of Extremadura ” They don’t paint anything” and he responded with a “could be” to the question of whether this confrontation was not so real but one more aspect of this “laboratory”.
“The crude reality”
Fernández Vara has indicated that despite the criticism that Guardiola made yesterday to Vox, he has allowed agreements with this formation to govern in Extremadura city councils and despite “the principles” Vox was offered to preside over the Assembly and the senator by autonomous appointment.
“They arrived at the constitutive session of the Parliament of Extremadura and when you lose an election, even if you say you have won it, you come face to face with the harsh reality” and remember that if the PSOE has the presidency of the Assembly “it is because we won the elections ”.
The PP has been talking a lot about Extremadura “but when the supreme moment has arrived they have forgotten and have opted for their national interests”, since “it was necessary to cover up in 48 hours” what had happened in the Valencian Community, even in detriment of the Extremadura region.
