The Government raises its tone against the pacts: "PP and Vox are the same"

If yesterday the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, called the pacts between the PP and Vox "gross" because in his opinion both formations "exchange votes for rights", this Friday, after confirming the agreement between both formations by which the party of the ultra-right has taken over the presidency of the Parliament of Aragon, the Minister of the Presidency has raised the tone against these pacts by assuring that "PP and Vox are the same".

The Minister of the Presidency, Relations with the Parliament and Democratic Memory has justified his statement by the fact that in Madrid and Cantabria, where he has recalled that the PP does not need Vox to govern, the party of Alberto Núñez Feijóo, in his opinion , "assumes absolutely extremist policies that are those of Vox."

Bolaños, who has participated this afternoon in an act on Human Rights at the Ortega Marañón Foundation in Madrid, wanted to undermine the credibility of the veto that the president of the PP in Extremadura, María Guardiola, has placed on Santiago Abascal's party to enter the government extremeno. "I don't get carried away by the little theater they are doing in Extramadura," said the head of the Presidency, who has also questioned whether it will continue once the general elections on July 23 have passed. "I don't know how long it will last but surely they will try to extend it until after 23-J", he added.

In addition, the minister has shown himself "enormously" concerned that "the hidden pacts that the two formations are reaching are not known" and that, in his opinion, "show that they are the same." "Let's not be deceived, PP and Vox are the same," he reiterated.

The Minister of Education and spokesperson for the PSOE, Pilar Alegría, has also referred to the PP-Vox pacts, who sees "absolute coordination" between the two right-wing formations on "the most retrograde policies" that have been seen in Spain in decades and which, in his opinion, harm citizens.

Alegría has focused on the profile of the new president of the Cortes de Aragón, Marta Fernández, of whom she has detailed that this morning she has deleted all her messages from her Twitter and Instagram accounts, but has indicated that social networks "let fingerprint". Thanks to which, she has indicated, "we have been able to see phrases in which she insulted herself and pointed at immigrants or insulted herself and pointed at femninists."

The head of Education has denounced a "constant dance of rights for armchairs", as Sánchez indicated yesterday, and has accused the PP of not having principles or having them "lazy". "When the principles do not exist or are weak, when you begin to scratch, incoherence emerges," Alegría has sentenced, who has also made Feijóo ugly that after having listened to "the refrain from the most voted list" it has "been able to verify that his word it is less reliable than a wooden euro", and he has given as examples of this the situation in Extremadura, where the PSOE was the list with the most votes, or in more than a hundred municipalities.
