"The PSOE does not have the objective that Vox is not in the Government, but that the PP does not govern." With this phrase, the president of the PP responded to the statements of all the government ministers and the president himself who focus his campaign on what can happen if the PP wins and agrees with Vox. Alberto Núñez Feijóo was interviewed this Monday by Ana Rosa Quintana, on Telecinco, where she stressed that the PSOE "is looking for fear", as it did in Andalusia, and the result was that "the citizens understood that they had to unite the vote" and Juanma Moreno obtained an absolute majority.
For the popular leader, if the PSOE really wanted to prevent Vox from reaching the government, it would facilitate his inauguration, if he wins the elections, because if he loses, he insists, he will not try to form a government, contrary to what he is sure will Pedro Sánchez intends to do, which would happen for the first time in the history of Spain.
"If the PSOE were interested in Vox not being in the Government, it would do what the PP has done in Barcelona, in Vitoria, in the Guipúzcoa Provincial Council, and now it is time to see what is going to be done in the Barcelona Provincial Council", stressed Feijóo, who stressed that what the PP is not going to do is "agree with the independentistas or with Bildu." But no, he stresses, he will not take into account if the PP clearly wins and there is a significant difference with the PSOE, he will vote against the PP, even joining his vote to Vox, as, he recalls, has happened in Cantabria, where the PRC de Miguel Ángel Revilla has abstained to make it easier for the PP to govern alone, and for Vox not to be in government. A situation that he compared to what happened with the Tinell Pact in the time of Zapatero.
Feijóo, for this reason, aspires to an absolute majority, like Moreno, Ayuso, or now La Rioja too, although he acknowledges that it is "very difficult", and for this reason his objective is "to have more votes than the left". And he dared to put a figure: "With 160 seats we can start talking" about "having a solid government, alone", and Vox will have to decide, he affirms, "if he votes with the left in favor of keeping sanchismo , and thus becomes his ally".
Alberto Núñez Feijóo still does not want to give names of those who can be part of his government, because he considers that there is no better way to lose an election, or consider them won, but regarding the vice president that he would like to have, and who has already said the last week that it will be a woman, the president of the PP gave more information. In addition to being a woman, she is a politician, she is well-known, she has governed, but has not been in the government of Spain. A profile that would fit, for example, Cuca Gamarra, who was mayor of Logroño, but not Fátima Báñez, who was in government.
He also did not want to reveal the name of the Minister of Economy, who Feijóo has already announced will be a man. He only said that he is not a politician, that he has not held any position in any party, that he knows European politics and that "when his name is known, Spain will sleep peacefully, because he will carry out a solid economic policy."
Alberto Núñez Feijóo spoke with Ana Rosa Quintana about what it means to repeal sanchismo, "repeal the laws that minorities have imposed", among which he cited the Democratic Memory Law, because "for Bildu to tell us what has been democratic is a insult to democracy and to the victims of ETA". Also the law of only yes is yes, the educational law "which requires a broad reform", the trans law, to make a new one, the repeal of the sedition law, a crime that will be recovered while penalizing the call for a illegal referendum, and will return to the previous penalties for embezzlement.
In these repeals, he reiterated that the labor reform will not be there, because he considers that "it is basically the reform that Bajoy and Fátima Báñez made" although he believes that some adjustments would have to be made, because there are issues that could be improved, and that will be discussed with the social agents.
Regarding what he will do in the first hundred days of government, Feijóo assured that the program's drafting team will dedicate itself from tomorrow, when it will appear, to prepare those first 100 measures, beginning by lowering the IRPF to incomes of less than 40,000 euros.
Alberto Núñez Feijóo is running for the elections on July 23 with a message to the Spaniards: "I am not going to cause any problems for the Spaniards, I am here to solve them."
