Ana Rosa Quintana asked Alberto Núñez Feijóo, president of the Popular Party, on Telecinco if he continued to maintain his proposal that the most voted list govern. The journalist made the caveat that with that he would sacrifice the government of Extremadura for her party (he got 28 deputies, like the PSOE, but Fernández Vara added 6,000 more votes). Feijóo answered ‘yes’ twice: “We would win a number of provincial capitals, a number of Provincial Councils…”, although he then stressed that the PSOE is not willing to agree to this agreement.
These statements fell like a political bomb in the already climate of uncertainty that exists regarding the formation of the new government in Extremadura and, above all, between the ideological and strategic differences of María Guardiola, elected candidate of the PP of Extremadura, and Vox in this territory. In fact, Ángel Pelayo, the leader of the Abascal formation in Extremadura, is the first thing he grabbed this Thursday in his press appearance: “First they have to clarify among themselves and then we will sit down to negotiate if they resolve it; we We do say the same thing here and everywhere in Spain”. While the PSOE inflames and propagates, more and more, the possibility of an electoral repetition.
In this scenario, María Guardiola was forced to leave hours later to mark territory in the face of the general confusion that currently exists among the voters of her party, those of Vox (both formations do add up to reach the presidency of the Board) and the citizens in general. And she did it forcefully: “My bosses are from Extremadura, I owe myself to them, and I am here for Extremadura, they asked for change,” she proclaimed. And then she added: “Vara’s decisions are made by Sánchez, mine are made by me together with the people of Extremadura. Our land is not governed from Madrid.”
So the first fight between the new baroness from Extremadura and Genoa is already on the table. Although she then qualified the internal conversations she has with Feijóo: “I have your word that I have a free hand to do the best for my land and that is what I have been doing since I assumed the presidency of the Popular Party in Extremadura,” she qualified. In addition, he clung to his electoral program: “It is my commitment to Extremadura and from here I cannot move because if I have wanted to teach my children something, it is that the words of people are the most valuable thing there is and I before I am a political person,” he said in an interview on the Cuatro network.
In this way, she added that her “red lines do not exist but the green, white and black lines do exist (the colors of Extremadura)” to which she added: “I am convinced that I am going to end up understanding the candidate of Vox when you see fit to call me, sit down with me to talk about Extremadura in Extremadura”. In this sense, she pointed out: “I would like to know if the Vox candidate has these free hands or is managed by the feudal lord, by Madrid, who tells him what we have to do on this earth.”
And he also criticized Fernández Vara: “He called me on Sunday to congratulate me and to make himself available and we have seen how in less than 48 hours Sánchez gets him out of bed and tells him to stand in front of a lectern so that this will lengthen it as be and he is obedient, as he has always done, what he says is that he is going to go to an investiture that he knows is unsuccessful because it doesn’t add up, it’s that simple”.
