CC would invest both Feijóo and Sánchez if neither Sumar nor Vox are in the government

The elected deputy of CC for Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Cristina Valido, has stressed this Monday on Cadena Ser that her party moves in the "centrality" and that, without formal contacts so far, she is open to investing Sánchez or Feijóo if Vox and Sumar are not part of the new Government of Spain.

Valido has indicated that the Canary Islands Coalition has supported both the PSOE and the PP in the past, has assured that the formation does not have a "prefigured" idea, so it is willing to speak with the two candidates.

"We are not going to reach a legislature agreement with governments that are participated by the extreme right or the extreme left," he stressed, while warning that what the CC will demand of both the PSOE and the PP will be "a bilateral relationship with the Canaries on the table".

Thus, he explained that CC intends to address the problems that the archipelago has to reach a specific investiture agreement, for which up to now it has maintained "specific contacts by telephone, both on one side and the other, but there have not been more nor are there any open negotiation," he reported.

When asked if Vox and Sumar are the same for her, Valido has stated that "it is not a personal matter". The deputy has admitted that CC "maintains a much greater distance from the ultra-right" than from Sumar, as has been seen in the last legislature, when "it has supported initiatives born from Yolanda Díaz, such as the increase in the interprofessional minimum wage or the update of pensions according to the CPI", something that has not happened with Vox.

"With the ultra-right we maintain a much greater distance, we have never voted for anything with them. We would not be at the same distance from one as from the other," he pointed out. Although, in his opinion, Vox and Sumar are not the same, he considers that "certain positions of the extremes are not good in any case", which is why his party moves "in balance", he said .
