López Miras: "It is possible that Vox will vote with Podemos and Bildu to avoid a PP government"

SPAIN / By Paul Torres

The Murcian electorate moves on an ideological scale of “center right”. This is the conclusion of the pre-election survey carried out by Cemop of the University of Murcia and where it is predicted that the Popular Party will get more seats in the Murcian community constituency than in the 2019 general elections, while PSOE and Vox will drop in seats -Regarding the appointment with the polls four years ago-.

Cemop advances a victory for the PP on July 23 because “the candidate to preside over the government of Spain that provokes the most sympathy or support among the citizens of the Region of Murcia is Alberto Núñez Feijóo”. Specifically, the survey underlines that “for 33.5% of the people interviewed, Alberto Núñez Feijóo is the candidate they would like to be the next president of the Government of Spain.”

Such results have led the president of the popular Murcians, Fernando López Miras, to appeal to the “useful vote” to “avoid a blockade by a PP government” in Moncloa. At the end of the open board of directors held in Cehegín, López Miras warned that “it is possible that Vox will vote with Podemos, the Catalan separatists and Bildu to prevent the Popular Party from governing.”

The poll by the Murcian Center for Public Opinion Studies (Cemop) was carried out between July 3 and 13, after conducting 1,200 interviews, from which it can be deduced that Alberto Núñez Feijóo's PP will obtain 4 to 5 seats in the district of Murcia, compared to the 3 that it achieved in the last general. For its part, Pedro Sánchez's PSOE oscillates from 2 to 3 seats, despite the fact that in the last electoral appointment it obtained 3, and Vox “would reduce its representation in relation to 2019, by achieving 2 seats.”

One of the results of the pre-election survey prepared by the Cemop of the University of Murcia.

The political candidacy of Yolanda Díaz with Sumar will save the furniture in Murcian territory with a seat. The results of Cemop also deny the theory of the demobilization of the electorate that is being circulated by some parties, having called the appointment with the polls in July, since the survey reveals that four out of five Murcians will go to the polls ” safely”.

However, the survey shows that 17.2% of the population of the Region of Murcia has not yet decided on their vote: “And of these, 21.4% doubt between the Popular Party and the PSOE, 18.2 % between PP and Vox and 16.6% between PSOE and Sumar”.

All of this has led López Miras to insist on asking for the “useful vote” next Sunday: ” The only guarantee for the Popular Party to have a sufficient majority and not depend on anyone and ensure a strong government alone is voting for Alberto Núñez Feijóo”.

The popular leader argues that the arrival of Feijóo to Moncloa will mean ” maintenance” of the Tajo-Segura Transfer or “fair financing” because the current model that provides funds to the autonomous communities will be reviewed. “The Spaniards want political change and want a serious, rigorous and solvent government with a president like Feijóo. In the Region of Murcia we are playing a lot”.
