Bal and Igea request the resignation of the Ciudadanos executive for making the party "unfeasible"

The decision of the Ciudadanos executive not to run in the general elections on July 23 has caused great discomfort among some elected officials of the orange formation who consider that the resignation makes the party "unfeasible". Such is the case of the deputy spokesman for Citizens in the Congress of Deputies, Edmundo Bal, or the group's spokesman in the Castilla y León Parliament, who have requested the resignation of the executive.

Bal pointed out this Wednesday that a political party that does not run for the "most important elections that one can run for", the general ones, "is useless", is "an unviable party" and assured that the leadership of his formation "has to resign en bloc". "Our results and the erroneous decisions of our executive have placed the party in an unfeasible situation," Igea stressed.

In an interview on TVE, Bal lamented that not running for the general elections means leaving "300,000 orphaned voters." "Among them myself, my party has left me an orphan, I have no one to vote for, I am not going to vote for the PP or the PSOE, I want to vote for a center option," he said.

These voters, he has deepened, are "brave", not like the "cowards" who "are leading this party" who "now have decided to keep the money in the box to be able to campaign later in the European elections". "You don't have to throw in the towel before playing the game," she stressed.

Bal has declared himself "very angry" over a "terrible" decision by management. "There is nothing to do anymore, each one will solve their life," Bal snapped, who has clarified that he will return to the State Attorney's Office. And he has been "astonished" to learn that the party's spokesperson in Congress, Inés Arrimadas, proposed at the meeting of the National Committee, which he attended in person, not to attend the general elections this solution, which is to "close the , look for a life in the PP ”.

"Not having a party, the door is open so that people from the party can say that they are going to defend liberal ideas as current within the PP, as Begoña Villacís even expressly said in her day", pointed out Bal, who has urged the address to say if you are looking to "defraud our voters to find a personal solution."

On the proposal of the Attorney for Citizens in Castilla y León, Francisco Igea, to create a new platform, Bal explained that "all options are open" and has advocated that people who have a "voice" in the party should arm themselves " of value”, think “with serenity and good sense” and give a “voice” to “the 300,000 citizens who voted for us on May 28”.

"Those who have brought us here should not continue," Igea assured on his social networks, after yesterday unsuccessfully defending that the party stand for election.

In addition to requesting the resignation of his executive, Igea has lamented that his formation practices "Zoroastrianism", a current that "considered corpses impure and left them exposed to the air for vultures to eat." This was stated by the former vice president of the Junta de Castilla y León in a plenary intervention, in which he argued that, by not being able to defend the "ideology" and "principles" due to the decision made by his party, he only has " defend interests" in the regional Parliament.
