During the last weeks, there is no current issue that does not serve PP and Vox to delve into its particular crossing. It was not going to be less tariff political controversy announced by the president of the United States, Donald Trump, and his … Relationship with Vladimir Putin to end the Ukraine War.
Those of Santiago Abascal have declared closed allies of the White House tenant and defend that the problems for the sovereignty of Spain and its economy come from Brussels and not from Washington. In addition, they are allies of Hungary Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán, critic with the European Union’s policy with respect to Russia since the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine.
For its part, the PP tries to place in a complicated balance between the government of Pedro Sánchez and Vox. “They are not reasonable neither the fierce confrontation behaviors we listen to from the PSOE nor the complicit vox silence,” the PP spokesman denounced this Friday in Congress, Miguel Tellado, about the “commercial war” announced by Donald Trump. “The European Union must defend the interests of its member countries from diplomacy and intelligence,” he claimed.
Vox’s response soon arrived and Abascal himself spread a video accusing the popular “align” with Sánchez and place “against Trump.” “You have to be with those who in Europe we defend peace, the end of Russian aggression, the protection of our borders and the prosperity of farmers and workers,” he said in the recording by calling the unity “of the free world.” “Mr. Feijóo, Vox has no agreement with Putin,” he added.
Autonomous relationship
This is only the last chapter of a tense relationship that reproduces with each issue that jumps to the political debate. Beyond the crossing of statements, its practical version is reflected in the Autonomous Communities, where more than six months after Vox left the governments he shared with the PP, the relationship between both parties remains very tense. The negotiations that have copied the strip and loosen during the last months have been those related to the regional budgets by 2025. And it does not seem that neither party is willing to reduce their demands.
Vox has made it clear for weeks that the reason that led them to leave coalition executives, the reception of unaccompanied foreign minors, remains a fundamental pillar of their program. And therefore there will be no pact with the popular ones if there is no rectification in its immigration policy.
On Trump, Genoa is between the “fierce” confrontation of Sánchez and Vox’s “accomplice silence”
In addition, those of Santiago Abascal have included among their red lines the so -called green pact that the PP signed in Brussels and that, Vox denounces, “prevents Spain from exploiting their resources and harms farmers and ranchers.”
But Vox no longer serves a verbal commitment and not even a written pact, which denounces that the popular ones have already violated. He wants a public statement of the Popular Party by unchecking European climatic policies and closing the door to the reception of immigrant minors. An act of contrition that Vox intends to make each regional president who wants their votes to carry out regional budgets.
All in the air
There are regions in which every conversation is broken, others in which the weather is good and a third group in which negotiations have not even been addressed. Extremadura and the Balearic Islands are the two communities in which the Popular and Vox Party have brought the conversations and popular presidents settled have ruled out the possibility of pact. In Castilla y León, for example, the ties are broken. Meanwhile, in Vox they say that there are other regions such as Murcia, the Valencian Community or Aragon in which relationships are good. But in this case they blame Genoa for preventing their presidents from agreeing with the PP.
A special case is that of the Valencian Community, where Vox at all times has left the door open to agree on public accounts given the extraordinary situation generated by ravages caused by the Dana that ravaged the community. However, the words of the Valencian vice president Francisco José Gan Pampols in favor of the regularization of the immigrants affected by the flood have complicated the conversations. Vox also distrusts the Generalitat proposal for schooling and requires that Carlos Mazón guarantee the possibility that all students receive classes in Spanish.
