Santa Cruz De Tenerife (EFE).- The general secretary of the PSOE in the Canary Islands, Ángel Víctor Torres, has summoned the CC leader, Fernando Clavijo, to reconsider his support for local governments with the ultra-right or otherwise, he has warned, It would be “the first great farce and lie” of the person who promised not to agree with Vox during the campaign.
In statements to the media this Wednesday after presenting the socialist candidates for the Senate and the Congress of Deputies for the general elections on July 23, Torres has hoped that Clavijo “reconsiders between now and Saturday and that there are no governments that get ahead with the support of the extreme right”, alluding to the conformation of the city councils.
Ángel Víctor Torres recalled that during the campaign for the local elections on May 28, the general secretary of the Canary Islands Coalition (CC) “said forcefully in front of all the canaries that he would not accept Vox’s support to form governments.”
However, the support of Vox may lead to the nationalist Olivia Duque being proclaimed mayor of Teguise on Saturday against the candidate with the most votes, the socialist Marcos Bergaz.
This would show “the first great farce and lie of someone who said one thing in an electoral campaign and for power does exactly the opposite, and that cannot be tolerated by the citizenry”, the socialist leader continued.
“I hope that this fraud does not materialize, this absolute deception of the voters in the Canary Islands of those who affirmed one thing and then does the opposite”, has recriminated Ángel Víctor Torres, who has warned that Vox is the party that is against the Statute of Autonomy, of the REF and supports the centralization of public services.
It is also the party that “launders” those who mistreat women and does not exclude from its lists those who have been convicted of gender violence as has been demonstrated with the pact between PP and Vox in Valencia, an agreement with which relegates the party with the most votes in the last elections, the PSOE.
This latest pact exposes the president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, who said that there was no place in politics for those who have been convicted of mistreatment of women “and now he signs an agreement in Valencia with a person who has been convicted of gender violence ”, Torres insisted.
“He said one thing in the electoral campaign and now it is just the opposite, there is no coherence but to come to power in any way and before this the containment dam is the PSOE”, its leader in the Canary Islands has asserted.
In his opinion, the elections on July 23 are a fundamental date to decide “what model of the country we want for the future, whether to walk for a country of rights or rights, if we want to bet on those who value social justice or back down”, assured Torres.
In his opinion, a message must be sent clearly “in the face of the right and its narrative, defamation, propaganda and insults” regarding the progress made in these four years “that are at stake and there may be a reversal” because , he added, despite the complications and difficulties “we have more jobs, more social justice and more equality”.
