The day after the elections in Castilla y León, Vox already warned that they would demand the PP “the same or more than you got Citizens” in the previous government. Almost a month later, the negotiations between popular and ultras to form the new executive have not come to fruition. And the reason is that the far-right party considers that it is receiving “different treatment” when they got the oranges.”The PP knows from the beginning that we cannot accept any type of contempt or humiliation of our voters“, Santiago Abascal has sentenced this Thursday.
After the PP candidate, Alfonso Fernández Mañueco, revealed this Wednesday that he had offered a “government agreement” to Vox, “giving in to promote understanding”, and that the ultras had rejected it, Abascal has denounced the obsession of the Conservatives for “undervaluing the importance” of their party. “There was a red line that was ‘no more, no less’. I mean, we were not going to admit a differentiated treatment from that which had been given to other political forces with a similar representation“, he has reiterated.
I understand democracy from dialogue, not from imposition. I have offered Vox a government agreement for the benefit of the people of Castilla y León. From our initial position we have yielded to promote understanding, Vox has not moved at all.

In statements to the media in the corridors of Congress, Abascal has indicated that the proposal they made to the popular is “fair and proportionate” to the results and that, therefore, the PP has to explain “what bothers them about this offer”.
This Wednesday, late in the afternoon, Vox published a document with the requirements that they have put on the table during the negotiation. In this text he demands the vice-presidency of the Junta de Castilla y León and three ministries. In addition to the presidency of the Cortes and the third secretary of the Table of the Castilian-Leon Parliament.
The PP is determined to deny VOX voters the same treatment it gave its previous partner.
There is still time to rectify and accept this proposal or, if not, explain to his voters why he has not wanted this government for C&L.https://t.co/3MqNo354Qc pic.twitter.com/M6YLZzYQQI

“What they are doing with all determination is to miss Vox. All the offers they have made want to show that Vox is treated differently and worse. we will not accept it“, Abascal stressed. In this sense, the ultra leader has indicated that this Thursday, in the constitution of the Cortes de Castilla y León they will vote for their own candidates to preside over the institution, which could cause a block in the voting.
