Low profile and a containment measure until October. Vox is keeping its best weapons against the amnesty for at least one more week and will let the – predictably failed – investiture of Alberto Núñez Feijóo pass before turning to its strategy to capitalize on the opposition to the Government's roadmap and establishing itself as the only party that defends equality between Spaniards and compliance with the law. A plan that the formation plans to execute at three levels: from the political platform, from the courts and from the street.
At the Vox headquarters they are aware of the urgency and seriousness of the moment, but they consider that going up a gear right now may not be very fruitful, since the political and media protagonist of the week is inevitably the Popular Party after the massive concentration of this weekend and the complex investiture session that Feijóo faces.
The calculations carried out in Vox predict that next week, already in October, the PSOE will change its pace with respect to the amnesty and will seek an express investiture of Pedro Sánchez. It will be then, with the social clamor on the rise and the PP having declined after not having achieved the confidence of the Chamber, when Vox activates its offensive against what they already define as “a historic attack that will lead to the destruction of the rule of law.”
Demonstration in Barcelona
Thus, Vox's objective is to concentrate its forces and begin to lead the political discourse against the pardon measure – in a tone, moreover, much harsher than that expressed by Feijóo and the PP last Sunday -, at the same time that the party turns to Barcelona in the demonstration called by the Catalan Civil Society on 8-O, which is the Sunday of that first week of the month.
This Monday, the general secretary of Vox, Ignacio Garriga, announced that his party will be “at the side of the Spaniards to defend the unity of the country, prosperity and equality,” but he considered, in contrast to the PP act, that a call for A civic platform like the one on 😯 will have many more attendees.
Today it will be Santiago Abascal himself who will defend Vox's position in the investiture. Although the party will vote in favor of Feijóo, it will be forceful with both the left and separatism as well as with the popular ones and the double standard with which, they say, they conduct politics.
In this sense, Vox applauds and calls on Feijóo to strengthen collaboration and do so in the image and likeness of his regional and local pacts, but he is displeased by the informal contacts maintained by the party leadership with formations such as Junts while at the same time crying out against amnesty. Likewise, Bambú does not like the figure of Borja Sémper, on whom Vox has focused a good part of its criticism.. Just yesterday, Garriga urged the popular party to “disavow” their national spokesperson for calling Abascal's people “radical.”
Despite everything, Vox's yes to Feijóo is guaranteed in this investiture session to which the PP, despite not being given the numbers, arrives launched after the success of the historic rally called on Sunday in the center of Madrid. An act that, as this newspaper reported, went beyond the popular acronyms and also brought together Vox voters and former socialist sympathizers.. At Vox they deny that the success of the event has harmed them electorally and they trust that the protest in Barcelona will multiply attendees, at the same time that it will serve to put Spaniards at the center and not the acronyms.
