This Thursday, the general secretary of the PP of Extremadura, Abel Bautista, declared that there is an “absolutely organized strategy” for steal votes by mail after learning that last night they took the ballots cast at the Fuente de Cantos post office and tried to do the same in Torremejía and Santa Amalia.
Tellado considers that “the theft of the postal vote of the citizens of Extremadura is a made of enormous gravity«since these votes must be “properly kept in post offices”.
It is for this reason that Alberto Núñez Feijóo’s “number two” demanded that the Ministry of the Interior “deploy all necessary means to investigate what happened and prevent this from happening again“.
“Someone really has an interest in breaking the rules of the game to change the outcome of the December 21 election. In a democracy, cheating, dirty tricks and fraud have no place,” he stressed.
According to Tellado, electoral victory “is only worthy of the name when it is obtained after a good fight.” “On Sunday, the freedom, pride and dignity of Extremadura will decisively triumph,” he proclaimed.
Alicia García encourages voting “massively” on Sunday
The spokesperson for the Popular Group in the Senate expressed itself in similar terms: Alicia García, who said that what is happening in Extremadura is “extremely serious” with “the theft of votes in post offices”.
As he pointed out, these are “votes already cast” and “which deprive citizens of a fundamental right.” “This is a theft of democracy and the truth is that this is an unusual and extraordinarily serious event,” he added.
That said, García encouraged Extremadurans to vote “massively” this Sunday “to defend their freedom and their democracy.” “This is what needs to be said,” he concluded during a press conference in the Senate.
