Just a few hours after Alberto Núñez Viejo officially nominated Juan Francisco Pérez Jurca as his candidate for head of the Valenciana state government, the Vox party put on the table its main conditions for supporting the PP’s spokesperson in Les Cortes, which he has already joined. A priori They have a lot of livestock, because they maintain a good relationship. The Ultras’ announcement came during the appearance of Pedro Sánchez in Congress, which Santiago Abascal accused of blowing up supposed infrastructures that would prevent the devastating consequences of natural phenomena like the Dana that occurred a year ago, the causes of which specifically fuel global warming according to experts.
On the platform, the far-right leader addressed the leader of the Popular Party and asked him to build “dams” and “dams” in the Valencian region. He also demanded an end to Brussels’ measures that cause “climate terrorism” in exchange for obtaining a suitable position for his candidate to assume the presidency of the Council. In the Figo government, they are open to carrying out actions that “save lives” in the event of a possible agreement, say sources from Genoa, which wants to reach an agreement “as soon as possible.” Although they are calling for “more specificity” regarding these projects, it is also not clear whether they fall within territorial jurisdiction or not.
“We do not care if they call us deniers for demanding dams and dikes so that Spaniards do not die,” Abascal said on Wednesday in Congress. “Mr. Figo, do you think we can agree on this? At least this? Do you think your candidate will be able to commit to the actions that Valencia needs, and demand them without fear of being called a denier?” The Vox leader added. Abascal concluded his demands by asking the leader of the Popular Party to “break with the climate terrorism agreements” reached in Brussels, and to end “mass migration” measures.
Those around the PP leader will wait to see how the explicit request for these “dams” and “dykes” will be achieved. But they are prepared in advance to sign an agreement under these terms. Regarding future infrastructure, Genova refers to the Valencia plan that Figo announced last January and which he confirmed he would implement if he managed to reach La Moncloa. A situation that, as Sánchez confirmed on Wednesday, will in any case be in 2027. In the Valencia Plan document, the Popular Party is considering investing 2,995 million euros in “flood prevention”, “actions in Barranco del Poyo and La Salita”, “works in Hotel and Requena”, and a “special plan for the Albufeira region”.
Abascal also used Wednesday’s debate to vindicate himself against the two-party system, stressing that the PSOE and the PP vote the same way in Brussels. But the Vox party leader ignored the concession already made by the Popular Party in the European Parliament on Monday by rejecting the 2040 emissions targets, thus distancing himself even from the EPP and voting alongside the far right. The proposal still needs to be voted on in the plenary session of the European Parliament on Thursday. It remains to be seen what Figo’s formation will finally do to that discussion. Congress spokeswoman Esther Muñoz added on Tuesday: “It is not the first time that the PP has voted differently from the EPP, and the PP will always be with the Spaniards.”
It was Muñoz who laid out his party’s first red lines in his talks with Fox, defining the rest as “the law” and “the Constitution” as a general framework. The popular leader in the House of Representatives said: “Regarding the negotiations with Fox, there is nothing that citizens do not know and we have seen in other (self-)governments. Our borders are the law and the constitution.” The problem is that the Vox Party refuses to implement the law on the distribution of minor immigrants on the peninsula, and since the government promoted this measure, it has demanded that the regional executives of the People’s Party not comply with this rule. But Genoa realizes that such extremism is not possible because it would be against the law, sources from Genoa indicate.
In any case, the situation was already settled considering that Pérez Jurca was Mazzone’s right-hand man, who was supported by the Vox party despite his absence during the most tragic hours of the crime. The absence of that president The actor did not explain this Tuesday at the investigative committee in Les Cortes, where he embraced the spokesman of the ultras, José María Llanos, who transferred all responsibility to the central administration, ignoring the fact that responsibility for emergencies is independent.
The problem for the Popular Party is how to integrate this agreement in Valencia and then demand a meaningful vote in other communities that will hold regional elections in the coming months. This is where Abascal wanted to come. “If we get this position, how will you explain that we can reach agreements in Valencia, Murcia and the Balearic Islands, and that it is impossible in Extremadura,” the Vox party leader said on stage, addressing Vigo. “How can he travel around the country saying something different in every area?” Abascal added, concluding by looking at the other bench and addressing Sanchez. “I am committed to demanding immediate regional elections in Valencia one second after the dissolution of parliament here,” he said sarcastically.
