Feijóo picks up Vox's gauntlet and calls for a "broad majority" for a constitutional and "solitary" government of the PP

Feijóo continues to seek a “broad” majority to be invested. A government that would be “in solitary”, that is, formed only by members of the PP. Feijóo's words come after the Vox statement, in which Abascal's formation announces its unconditional support for a “constitutional majority” to prevent Sánchez from governing again with “the enemies of Spain”.

In an appearance from the Pontevedra town of Cambados, Feijóo has drawn three possible political scenarios in the coming weeks: a “blockade” that will lead the Spanish to an electoral repetition; an investiture of Sánchez with agreements with the independentistas or a “broad constitutional agreement” for a government headed by Feijóo.

The leader of the Popular Party has assured that this last formula is the only one that guarantees the stability of Spain: “One party is necessary for a Government and not 24 parties governing Spain. 24 parties with different ideologies and contradictory interests is the opposite of the governability of this country”. For this reason, the Galician leader will seek to form a majority with which to carry out his investiture: “I am going to try a broad agreement with humility, with respect for the general interests and with respect for the rest of the parties”.

The president of the PP has criticized those who are “disappeared”, without expressly citing the holidays of the acting President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, at a time when, for him, it is necessary to “give an opinion and establish a position”. Feijóo has insisted that an institutional blockade is not desirable and that elections cannot be repeated every time the electoral result does not yield a clear majority: “We will continue working so that this legislature is not ungovernable and so that we do not enter into a blockade of months like in 2015 or 2016”.

He has also regretted that the PSOE has “broken a pre-agreement for the governability of Ceuta”, which is “an autonomous city whose sovereignty is claimed by a country where it is vacationing” Pedro Sánchez, referring to Morocco.

The Galician leader has picked up the Vox gauntlet, which this Sunday has offered to support an investiture of the Galician leader, yes, without naming him. For Feijóo, this decision is “advance” and he has ensured that his proposal does not contemplate a coalition with Abascal's party: “The proposal that I make is a proposal for a lone government of the PP, based on a broad and constitutional agreement. To advance, create employment, finance pensions and improve public services”.

Vox, open to supporting a PP government

This same Sunday, Vox has published a statement in which they announce their support for a “constitutional majority” to prevent Sánchez from repeating the government with the “enemies of Spain”, as he describes Bildu, PNV, Junts and ERC. Thus, the 33 Vox deputies would support a constitutional majority in the lower house that allows the formation of a government that avoids such threats.. Vox will not be anyone's excuse or the impediment to avoid a government of those who seek to destroy the foundations of the Constitution,” he continues..

Likewise, the statement stresses the “seriousness of the facts” and the “danger” that Sánchez repeats as president “hand in hand with all the enemies of Spain” and recalls some recent words by Abascal: “We will not be an obstacle to avoid a government of national destruction”.

The Vox statement makes no reference to the entry of party members into a hypothetical Feijóo government, a requirement that they have demanded in various autonomous communities, such as Extremadura, the Valencian Community and, more recently, Aragon, and which is still blocking the investiture of the popular López Miras in the Region of Murcia.
