Azcón will be dissolved on Monday after the failure of the second meeting with Vox for budgets

Aragon will return to the polls on February 8. Parliament exploded this Friday in Pignatelli after the “total and definitive” failure budget negotiation.

The president, Jorge Azconwill sign this Monday the decree dissolving the Cortès, confirming the progress already made by EL ESPAÑOL.

The meeting held this morning by the regional leader of Vox,Alexandre NolascoAzcón himself and his Treasury advisor, Roberto Bermudez de Castrohas certified that the positions are irreconcilable. There is no room for further extensions or for “bargaining”, as the advisor already warned during a press conference last Tuesday.

The electoral calendar is activated immediately. After signing the decree on Monday, the Official Journal will publish the appeal on Tuesday.

The electoral campaign will officially begin on Friday January 23placing the region in the middle of rally autonomous electoral system, between Extremadura (21-D) and Castile and León (probably March 15) and, finally, Andalusia (in May or June).

The final trigger was the ideological imposition proposed by Nolasco, following the directives of the national leadership of Santiago Abascal.

Nolasco has put conditions on the table that go beyond the budgetary framework. Vox demanded that Azcón make a public statement rejecting the receipt of immigrantsparticularly unaccompanied minors.

They also demanded to categorically renounce the “European Green Deal”. And even some “Illegal” water policiesaccording to the PP, “for which the autonomous government has no power”, as cleaning and dredging of canalsusing the management of dana as a battering ram.

“If this was possible in Valencia, why not in Aragon?“, came to ask the leader of Vox.

On the part of the Aragonese government, the perplexity is absolute. Bermúdez de Castro considers incomprehensible rigidity of its former partners at a time of prosperity. “Aragon is in its best historical moment, with stability and attract tens of billions of investments“Executive sources called back after meeting.

The head of the Treasury highlighted the inconsistency of Vox. He doesn’t understand how they reject accounts that are “similar to those they have supported in the past” and with whom they came to share the government. For the PP, Abascal’s strategy responds to national interests other than those of the Aragonese.

The “pinch” and the Joy factor

Azcón’s entourage insists the advance is an obligation, not a choice. The president has always said he does not want to go to the polls. However, he denounces a “political blockade” orchestrated through a “clamp” between the PSOE and Vox.

The goal of both, they say, is to wear out the PP at all costs.

Tensions with the socialists have also intensified in recent hours. The minister and spokesperson for the PSOE, Pilar Alegriaaccused Azcón on Wednesday of “biting the outstretched hand” of the opposition.

In the PP, however, they interpret these movements as a sign of weakness: “She is terrified of letting the government fail in regional elections“.

Popular sources estimate that the PSOE fears that the polls will punish its strategy of frontal opposition. And Azcón, for his part, sees himself legitimized to ask for a larger majority “which, in addition, help oust Pedro Sánchez de la Moncloa“.

Internal polls conducted by Pignatelli are favorable. Polls suggest the PP could “take revenge” for its reliance on Vox. The strategy would be to add seats and explore pacts with forces such as Aragón Existen or PARin search of this now broken stability.

The Extremadura mirror

This rupture comes after months of hidden attempts to save Parliament. Azcón secretly traveled to Madrid on October 19 to meet with the national direction of Vox. This movement, revealed by this newspaper, sought to unblock the situation at the highest level.

Although managed to reopen negotiations less than two weeks ago, the efforts were in vain. The public presentation of the Budgets on December 5 was the last round. “It was impossible to agree, and we won’t waste any more time“, they now say from the presidency.

The situation in Aragon is not isolated. This break coincides with the electoral campaign in Extremadura, where Maria Guardiola He also brings forward the elections to December 21. The popular baroness keeps her promise: “without Budgets, no governance” after being forced into an extension.

Guardiola made the “pinza” flag during his campaign, accusing Vox and the PSOE of not wanting the best for citizens. Azcón now assumes this same discourse. “He was forced to fulfill his commitment,” say those close to him, so as not to lose the economic opportunity that the community is experiencing.
