Extremadura is bad for María Guardiola’s voters, but good for the Spanish center-right. If Pedro Sánchez wanted something in this campaign, it is to rub the fear of Vox from left-wing voters and, incidentally, neutralize any vote or abstention that could favor Núñez Feijóo from socialism. Concentrate the vote in his person, given the fear of the barbaric popular-voxist front. The disagreement in Extremadura between the popular and those of Abascal shows, however, that the PP continues to be the PP, that is, that it does not renounce its identity (see the issue of sexist violence) and that it does agree, with Vox or with whom I mean, it’s for practical numerical reasons. People have the right to vote for Vox, which is a constitutional and democratic party, and where it has enough seats, they must sign with it, but it is not lawful for it to want to impose a government pact in Extremadura with five seats against 28 popular ones. It remains clear that the PP not only aspires to win the general elections by an absolute majority -that is what all the parties want-, but, in the event of having to agree with Vox, it will not renounce its constituent axes, that is, the protection beyond liberalism, the defense of traditional feminism or the incorporation of immigrants into the development of Spain. I believe that this centers the party and makes it win electoral integers.
If Feijóo was not suspected of something, it was extremism. If anything, lukewarm. I remember his positions in Galicia on linguistic matters –which I criticized– and his deplorable response on abortion as a “woman’s right, but not a fundamental one”. Theirs is not a battle of cultural principles – in the broad and profound sense of the word – but of economic technocracy. Anyone who wants to criticize him should attack him there, not by the extreme right, because he will not find it in populism.
The leader of the PP led the inauguration of Isabel Díaz Ayuso yesterday and was not shy about giving her a leading role. María Guardiola was present – whom the certain right wing presents as a “blue socialist” – and everyone looked at them with curiosity, trying to glimpse tensions, but just like Ayuso in his day, Feijóo defended the Extremadura woman and stressed that those responsible for Madrid should not restrict local negotiations, in clear allusion to Santiago Abascal. Each territory is different and each different negotiation and in Genoa they seem to have it clear. «Of the nine autonomous communities where the PP governs, in five we do so with Vox. In others we need it, like in Valencia, and in two others, the Balearic Islands and Aragon, our colleagues are negotiating.”
During the ceremony at the Madrid community headquarters, María Guardiola naturally sat next to Carlos Mazón, the new Valencian leader, and they chatted constantly.
We will see what happens on July 23 because everything is full of variables that are very difficult to calculate. I think of the date, which will force less participation; I am attentive to the fuss of Sumar with the Commons[[LINK:EXTERNO||| –ahora los de Colau exigen otro referendo independentista]]– and of course I consider this atypical campaign in which the president interviews himself through his ministers on a virtual TV or those of the PP make videos playing with the idea of ”Verano Azul”, the childhood series that he starred in the indelible Chanquete.
One last thing. What a role that of Vox. If they exacerbate their demands, they are left out of local governments. If they minimize them, they fade for the July electorate. I advise you to be patient, this seems to be the time for Núñez Feijóo: they will have time to be noticed.
