After the general elections of 23-J and with the deadline to avoid an electoral repetition narrowing, the autonomies that have not yet closed their Government agreements accelerate. This is the case of Aragón where PP and Vox already have a closed governance pact to make the popular Jorge Azcón president, giving Vox a Vice Presidency, which will be in the hands of its leader Alejandro Nolasco, and two ministries, that of Agriculture and Territorial Development, one included in the vice-presidency.
These last details, those of the distribution of departments, have been closed late this afternoon to close the future coalition government in which Vox aspired to have a Vice Presidency and control three ministries. In the middle of the afternoon, sources consulted by this newspaper, pointed out that this “is not closed” and that “even the tail everything is bull in a negotiation.” Finally, the popular ones have lowered the claims of the radical right formation by one.
In this way, one of the autonomous governments that still had to be formed after the 28-M elections will see the light of day “imminently” since the term for the investiture in Aragon ended on August 23. Of this, only Murcia, where PP and Vox are currently in antagonistic positions, and Navarra, where PSOE and Geroa Bai have become close again, have not defined governance.
The case of Aragón, where the PP has 28 seats of the 67 that the Cortes has, seemed destined for the popular ones to manage to come to an understanding with their partner on the right since with the seven Vox deputies the absolute majority was exceeded. However, at first, after the elections, Azcón came to put on the table the idea of ??a lone government, which was dismissed by the formation of Santiago Abascal, who threatened to vote against in that situation.
Finally, Aragon will have a coalition government of PP and Vox after the paralysis caused by the 23-J elections. After those elections, the agreement accelerated last Sunday when the popular ones, who had also tried the PSOE route, dropped that option. In an interview with Heraldo de Aragón, the leader of the Socialists and current acting president, Javier Lambán, assured that his party would be in “the opposition” because that was the place where “the citizens have placed it.”
With these statements, one of the avenues that had been explored by Jorge Azcón’s team was closed, which had even maintained some contact with the PSOE, according to popular sources. In this way, the only path already open for the PP was Vox through a coalition government as demanded by the formation of the radical right. An Executive that will have the presence of advisers from the Abascal party when the last details are finalized. From the PP for the moment they refer to “the necessary discretion in all negotiations” so as not to reveal the final content of the Cabinet, which according to the same sources, has not yet been completely closed.
Already on June 23, both parties, imminent government partners if nothing goes wrong, had reached a first agreement to hand over the Presidency of the Cortes to the Vox deputy, Marta Fernández, whose appointment was marked by her messages deniers of vaccines against Covid and climate change, a controversy for which he ended up deleting his social networks where he had released those messages.
