Murcia, Jul 10 (EFE).- Fernando López Miras is an acting president of the Region of Murcia who still has a 2-month term before achieving his inauguration and predictably waits until after the general elections to start serious talks with Vox to to reach that agreement that at the moment has not arrived and that today, in the second investiture session, will have the ‘No’ of the 9 deputies of Santiago Abascal in accordance with what he has assured in the last hours.
Someone would have to hit Abascal on the head for Vox to change its mind if we stick to what was jokingly stated this Sunday by the far-right leader in Valladolid. Officially no one from the PP and Vox has held any meeting to bring positions closer and the ‘No’ to Miras is more than sung. The abstention of at least four Vox deputies would help, but Abascal has made it clear that they will vote en bloc and abstaining is not the option.
Vox’s spokesman in Congress, Iván Espinosa de los Monteros, has said that Miras “intends to take this to an extreme situation.” They asked him for councils and the popular ones answered that it was a somewhat excessive request for a formation with 18% of the votes obtained compared to 43% of the PP.
The offer of the PP to Vox is an agreement along the lines of the Balearic Islands, without the distribution of ministries and as an aperitif it has provided three commissions of the Regional Assembly, one of them for the Environment, a controversial issue since it affects the Mar Menor, whose recovery it has led to fierce confrontations between the extreme right and left.
In these, PSOE and Podemos, with 13 and 2 deputies, look at the bulls from the sidelines and consider that the situation is a “paripé” since they assume that there is an agreement that remains hidden for the benefit of Feijóo, avoiding fears that he will move this pact to what will happen in the future if the PP wins the general elections with a hypothetical government with Vox ministers.
Article 174 of the statute establishes that “if after a period of two months from the first investiture vote, no candidate has obtained confidence, the President of the Assembly will dissolve it, calling new elections.” We will then have to wait until after the summer to see whether or not there will be a repetition of the elections in Murcia.
