Feijóo accuses Vox of behaving "like the independentists" and do "blackmailing the nation"

The president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has today strongly attacked Vox, after the far-right party broke the agreements signed in the autonomous communities last Thursday. Feijóo has said that Vox behaves like “the independentists, blackmailing the nation”, like “Sumar and Podemos” with a “show of immaturity”, and guided only by their “personal interest” like the president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez.

“Whoever wants a spectacle should not count on us,” Feijóo said during his speech at the Ourense PP Congress held this Saturday. He insisted that he does not share the idea of ​​a nation that appears “when particular interests are put before general interests, when real problems are ignored, when there is not the slightest sensitivity,” in reference to Vox’s refusal to allow the autonomous communities to take in unaccompanied migrant minors. “That idea of ​​a nation, like Sánchez’s, is not ours, we are not in politics to ignore the problems of citizens,” he said.

Feijóo said that a new scenario is now opening up in national politics with “an opposition to the opposition”, but he has assured that “the pincer movement” between PSOE and Vox is not going to divert the PP from its objective, which is to oppose the Government, also with a frontal rejection of “an irresponsible immigration policy”. “The PSOE should not be too happy with the Vox cape”, he pointed out: “We are not going to confuse our adversaries or our objectives”.

Feijóo has assured that the PP will eventually reach the Government, and to do so he has reached out to voters of all parties, but especially to those who “do not understand the drift of the Vox leaders doing favors to the most absurd government in the Spanish nation.”

Feijóo has also been very critical of the Government’s proposal that José Luis Escrivá be the new governor of the Bank of Spain. “The latest thing is a minister at the head of the Bank of Spain, so don’t count on the PP. Sánchez intends to distribute the Council of Ministers among the state institutions,” he said.
