“I wish there was a pact now because that is what the people of Extremadura want,” said María Guardiola, who has brought together the regional committee of the PP in Mérida to discuss the pact with Vox
The regional board of directors People’s Party has met this Saturday in Mérida, for the first time after the regional and municipal elections, to address the political scenario that is presented. The PP candidate for the Presidency of the Junta de Extremadura and president of the Extremadura PP, María Guardiola, has asked the national leader of Vox, Santiago Abascalthat “let” sit down with her to negotiate to his party’s candidate, Ángel Pelayo, because “the future of Extremadura is not decided anywhere but here”.
“I wish there was a pact now because that is what the people of Extremadura wantbut there is neither an agreement nor are we negotiating because Mr. Pelayo has not yet received authorization to be able to sit with me”, he has transferred to his fellow party members. At this point, it should be remembered that Guardiola You need the five deputies that Vox has obtained in the elections to add them to the 28 of the PP and to be able to wrest the government from the socialist Guillermo Fernández Vara.
Along these lines, the leader of the popular people of Extremadura has stressed that she is “the only one who is going to negotiate” with Vox, while she has regretted not having been able to sit down to negotiate with Pelayo yet. “What I do tell you is that my word is sacred and that I do not change it. I have said that I want to govern alone and whoever thinks that my word is strategy is wrong”, has underlined.
“We have all the willingness in the world to reach agreements with Vox, to be president and for our government to give answers to what the citizens have asked us at the polls, but for that we have to roll up our sleeves now, we have to get to work now and lWhat we can’t do is wait for the bosses of some (alluding to Pelayo) to make decisions in our land in Madrid”, has manifested. “My bosses have already told me what they had to tell me and we know it very well, because our bosses are from Extremadura,” she highlighted.
