The PP candidate and candidate for re-election to the presidency of the Regional Government of Extremadura, María Guardiola, played the main role this Friday in an atypical closing of the campaign for the elections of Extremadura, without rallies, traveling early in the morning through a dozen villages crossing from top to bottom the two provinces, Cáceres and Badajoz.
In Almendralejo (Badajoz, 34,000 inhabitants), Guardiola arrived at six in the afternoon and walked along Calle Real greeting the traders, without making any statement to the press. Surrounded by a group of PP activists, the president of Extremadura distributed kisses and selfies and above all received words of encouragement, but she also received occasional reproaches.
A middle-aged lady under an umbrella approached him and reproached him: “You abandoned us in the countryside. » Guardiola stopped with the woman, explained his investments and finally apologized: “40 years (by PSOE governments) cannot be changed in just two years.” “Give him time, and the absolute majority so he can do more things!” » several grassroots activists surrounding the scene told the woman.
Guardiola now travels to the town of Badajoz, where the PP closes the campaign with a Christmas flamenco zambomba, in which no speeches are planned either.
From the morning she set foot in Talayuela, north of Cáceres, where she again encouraged the pucherazo, after 48 hours without questions or media attention and after she and the PP encouraged a so-called electoral pucherazo for the theft of 124 votes in a post office in Fuente de Cantos, a municipality of Badajoz with 4,500 inhabitants. The event occurred in the early hours of Wednesday.
“The right to vote has been stolen,” he said Friday in Talayuela, after asserting Thursday that democracy was “stolen.” It was in a video posted on their social media that reached 800,000 views. “I am not going to remain silent. We are not going to allow it. Enough is enough. This Sunday, we decide” reports Manuel Viejo.
And he reported the facts to the Electoral Council. The PP activated the machinery. Also encouraged by Genoa. Senior party officials and even regional presidents like the Valencian supported Guardiola’s argument, which went against the Civil Guard’s line of inquiry: questioning the electoral system of elections in Spain. And more precisely, the women of Extremadura this Sunday.
A spokesperson for the Badajoz Civil Guard explained by telephone to this newspaper that the events were being investigated as a “common law crime” because it was not the first time this had happened in recent months and what the thieves were looking for was money.
