PP and the Canary Islands Coalition make their agreement official for the investiture of Feijóo

The Popular Party and the Canary Islands Coalition have formally sealed their agreement on Tuesday for the so-called Canary Islands agenda, the document of 55 demands proposed by the islanders and that the populares have signed at the bottom of the page to ensure the vote of the only deputy from the islands, Cristina Valid, before a possible investiture of Alberto Núñez Feijóo.

The PP has wanted to endow the agreement with the greatest of solemnities that it considers basic to try to configure the long-awaited parliamentary majority that would allow it to evict Pedro Sánchez from the presidency of the Government. And for this he has summoned the media first thing in the morning so that the snapshot marks the second day of the round of contacts initiated by the King that is held this Tuesday and from which he hopes to leave with the task of trying to Feijóo investiture.

In the calculations of Genoa, confirmed the support of UPN and trusting to have that of Vox, the Canary Coalition vote would allow them to reach 172 seats which, in addition to leaving four seats short of an absolute majority, would force the PSOE to achieve a yes de Junts to his investiture and not a simple abstention.

The general secretary of the PP, Cuca Gamarra, has valued the fact that it is an agreement that is "transparent" distinguishing it from "other shameful and unknown options and assignments", alluding to the PSOE talks with Catalan pro-independence parties . A definition shared by the organization secretary of CC, David Toledo, who has reiterated that, in order to change the vote, the PSOE has to previously transfer the more than 200 million committed in the framework of the negotiation for the General State Budgets of 2023 , which the CC supported, and assume the "Canary Islands agenda" in its entirety, as the PP has done.

However, the Canarian formation does not close that door in the event that Feijóo's calculations do not come true and it is Sánchez who manages to configure a majority like the one obtained last week for the election of the president of Congress, Francisca Armengol.
