The President of the People’s Party, Alberto Nuñez Viejo, appealed on Friday for a meaningful vote in the upcoming regional elections in Extremadura until December 21. “Promoting change” that Fox “cut out.”He rejected the possibility of being exempted … Candidate Maria Guardiola, if society returns to a state of siege after the elections, because she said that in her party “it is not possible at this stage to control ready-made candidates decided by one person.”
In statements to the media in Casar de Cáceres, the opposition leader stressed that the extremists have “two options” on the table: the option of re-electing Guardiola with a majority sufficient to form a “stable government”, or the option of “several other parties whose goal is that the winner does not rule or prevent the party that won the election.”
“This is not a question of seeing who will win, the people of Extremadur probably already know who will win. What it is about here is whether the person who wins will have enough support to free up the ability to govern in Extremadura, because the only goal of everyone is to lose, but to prevent who wins,” he said, equating the political proposal of the Socialist Workers’ Party and Vox for this election.
Figo rejected the possibility of replacing Guardiola after the elections if there is a political blockade again, as the leader of the Vox party, Santiago Abascal, challenged him to do. He pointed out that the Popular Party candidates “are not puppets” moving “with strings” from Madrid, as happens with “Fox.” He called on his competitor on the right to accept the “result” of the ballot boxes because “the person comes to rule, not to prevent whoever wins from ruling.”
“We are a democratic party and a state party, and our candidates are not puppets that we pull by strings and decide in Madrid without consulting the people who live in the autonomous community in which we want to govern,” Figo began when asked about Abascal’s latest challenge.

“I don’t know the name of the Vox Party candidate, I don’t know him, and I think the majority of Extremadurians don’t know him either.”

Head of PP
He continued: “I do not know the name of the Fox candidate. I do not know him and I believe that the majority of the people of Extremadura do not know him either, but whoever knows will know that this candidate was nominated from Madrid and not from Extremadura.” “This kind of conversation might be possible in a party like Vox, but in my party it is impossible to deal at this stage with pre-packaged candidates decided by one person.”
Figo reminded Abascal that Guardiola is the candidate “who has the greatest chances, not only of winning, but of forming a stable government,” so he asked him to abide by “the result of the ballot boxes.” He questioned his approach to politics if his “goal is to derail ‘government’ by taking over all the losers, including the Socialist Workers Party.”
On the other hand, the PP leader insisted that the result in Extremadura would also represent “the coming years” for Spain. Feijóo has already identified this election yesterday as the potential “beginning of the end of Sanchismo.”
