The deputy secretary for Regional and Local Coordination of the PP, Pedro Rollán, has reminded the PSOE of its abstention in the investiture of Mariano Rajoy when it obtained 137 seats, the same that, in the absence of the final data of the general scrutiny, Alberto Núñez Feijóo has reaped after the recount of the CERA vote, and has not ruled out that the conservatives speak with Junts “within the Constitution”.

In statements to the press in Collado Villalba (Madrid), Rollán praised the electoral results obtained by the popular, who have managed to increase their representation in Congress by 48 deputies. And it is that, in the absence of the official data on the completion of the count, everything points to the fact that the general scrutiny will deprive the PSOE of a seat for Madrid in favor of the PP, with which the popular ones would finally have 137 tally sheets compared to the 121 with which that the socialists would stay.

These new PP seats, the vice-secretary pointed out, have been “absolutely cross-cutting”. “The PP has grown 19 seats to its right, 10 in the center and 19 seats in the spectrum on the left,” he added..

In this context, the popular leader added that the parliamentary arithmetic resulting from the result puts Pedro Sánchez in a “very difficult” position.

Bildu “for nothing”

For all this, the popular understands that it is their formation that must aspire to an investiture and form the future Government of Spain. This is where they have explicitly asked him about a possible negotiation with Junts, to which he has replied that the PP is willing to talk “with each and every one of the political formations, as long as they are within the framework of the Spanish Constitution”.

They have also asked him about possible negotiations for an investiture with another force such as EH Bildu, to which Rollán has been blunt. “The PP, I already say it in advance, is not going to support Bildu at all,” he remarked.
