He presented himself as a scourge of the Government during the pandemic. But over time he also became an uncomfortable element for what has been his party until this Tuesday, May 28. Juan Luis Steegmann (Madrid, 1955), Vox’s doctor, as he was known in Congress, has slammed the door on Santiago Abascal on the eve of crucial European elections for the extreme right. Steegmann leaves with a harsh farewell letter published by Libertad Digital in which he reveals that he will not vote for Vox on June 9 and in which he accuses Abascal of having led the far-right formation towards a “neo-Falangist drift.” ”, moving away from a spirit that he considered more “liberal”.
Among the triggers that led him to make this decision, the former leader of Vox cites in his letter the speeches he heard at the ‘Europa Viva 24’ festival in which anti-European, xenophobic and racist messages were launched by all those involved, among them Abascal himself and the European candidate, Jorge Buxadé, with whom Steegman has never maintained good relations and whom he accuses of maintaining “anti-scientific” positions. The main leaders of the European and Latin American extreme right attended that ‘patriotic party’, but the great guest star was Javier Milei, the president of Argentina, who insulted Pedro Sánchez’s wife by calling her “corrupt.”
