Guardiola opens the first crisis with Vox by saying that their relationship is "little or none"

The president of Vox in Extremadura, Ángel Pelayo Gordillo, assured this Thursday that the government pact with the PP in the autonomous community is not in danger, but he believes that the president of the Board, María Guardiola, must rectify her words about the relationship with his party, after saying in an interview that it is “little or none”. It is the first crisis in the regional Executive since the pact between both formations.

In statements after the first plenary session of the Extremadura Assembly, the Vox leader responded to the words of María Guardiola in an interview in the regional newspaper “Hoy”. Precisely, in this plenary session, Vox had already reminded Guardiola that he governs with his formation and has even given his support to an initiative by Unidas por Extremadura on free school cafeterias, which the PP has voted against.. “These are not accurate statements, Vox deserves the respect entrusted to it by voters,” the importance of its proposals cannot be “undermined,” Pelayo told journalists..

She has asked the president to “reflect” on her words, “if they have been transcribed exactly as she said them,” and to “rectify as much as possible.”. “If Mrs. Guardiola rectifies, as I am sure she will, there will be no danger, for now, of the government being called into question,” he expressed in response to a possible fracture of the government agreement.. Along these lines, he has stated that they will continue on the “path of collaboration” with the PP, in having “mutual respect and working”, and has described the treatment with María Guardiola's Executive as “cordial”, “nothing worth mentioning” .

For his part, the regional spokesperson for the PP, José Ángel Sánchez Juliá, has stated that Guardiola “does not see a government of parties”, but rather “of people who are working in an involved way to solve the problems of the people of Extremadura.”. Likewise, he has declared that they are working “side by side” to have a “stable” relationship and provide solutions to the “real” problems of Extremadurans with a “fluid” relationship..

“Insubstantial controversy”, “sterile”, with a headline that “may have been misinterpreted”, but that “at no time” speaks of a “difference”, since it is a “united, loyal, stable and constructive” government, he added. .

For the Socialist Group, deputy Jorge Amado has pointed out that the reality is that the PP did not win the elections, but the PSOE, and that María Guardiola has “a permanent mortgage with the extreme right”, so that “every time it deviates “Vox calls her to order a little bit.”

On this matter, the spokesperson for Unidas por Extremadura, Irene de Miguel, has expressed the opinion that the Government “is not working” and that Guardiola “has treated his partners with great contempt”, which is why she predicted that there will be elections “before the four years” of the legislature.
