The CUP deputy in Congress and candidate for the July 23 elections, Mireia Vehí, has revealed that the CUP hires private security so that its deputies, herself and Albert Botran, can move around Madrid. In an interview on the Cafè d'Idees program on TVE and Ràdio 4, she explained that at certain times the party had to provide security for its members to "guarantee their physical integrity".
In addition, Vehí has explained that they are looking for personnel who are "of the same political chord" because in the police "you do not control who you have next to you." "It looks like a movie, but the extreme right exists and has power both in the media and in the police forces," he added.
On the other hand, Vehí has referred to the general elections on July 23 and has warned that abstention is not a solution, alluding to the ANC proposal to request abstention or a null vote with the 1- EITHER. "No matter how angry and disappointed people are about the situation of the left and the independence movement, does the situation improve that the right, the extreme right and the PSC have more and more institutions? We think not," he explained, and He added that if not "a conservative cycle will open".
The CUP candidate in Congress has also reproached the PSOE and Unidas Podemos for having been "fearful of power and the powerful" and believes that this means that there is "a wide path to run from the pro-independence left".
Vehí has not wanted to place itself on the stage of supporting a PSOE and Sumar government to prevent the PP and Vox from governing, but has indicated that what they have always asked for is a referendum.
