The leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has spoken for the first time this Tuesday after the controversy broke out last Thursday around the anti-abortion measures in Castilla y León proposed by Vox, including the use of 4D or listening to the fetal heartbeat. “The one who rules in an autonomous community is its president,” Feijóo said in an interview on the 120 Minutes program on Telemadrid, “and in the field of Health, which is very technical, after the president is the Minister of Health and the Others from the Government do not have the powers to talk about it ”, he indicated in reference to Vox.

“The Government of Castilla y León is not going to modify the protocol,” Feijóo said based on the statements this Monday by Alfonso Fernández Mañueco, “they must protect those women who want to have children and they must not coerce those who want to interrupt their pregnancy when they are in the cases indicated by law ”, he added.
For the president of the PP it is “unfortunate” that the central government has sent an official request to the president of Mañueco asking them to refrain from approving measures against women’s rights. “It is a gaseous requirement”, he has expressed, because it is made “based on an act that has not occurred”. “When institutional respect is lost in a country, we enter a variant that worries me much more than this false controversy.”
Feijóo has thus described Vox’s words about this controversy in Castilla y León as “gathering comments” that “have no interest” and, in line with the words of other members of the PP, has indicated that this is “a crude attempt of manipulation” of the Government led by Pedro Sánchez. “This debate is very clear that it is good for the Government, because it tries to confuse people,” he added, to later opine that he “believes” that Vox is wrong with his arguments.
Apart from the controversy in Castilla y León and asked about the modifications he would make to the abortion law if he were to govern, Feijóo has indicated that the “substantial discrepancy” that the party he presides over with respect to the current abortion law is ” that minors who cannot make decisions without the consent of their parents should not have that capacity to decide to terminate a pregnancy”. Thus, the opposition leader has expressed that the opposite situation could also occur and that young women want to have their child and their parents ask them to have an abortion. In this case, the president of the PP bets that “girls can have the child even if their parents oppose it.”
