Feijóo calls Abascal a “cacique” and attacks him in the Extremaduran electoral campaign: “Our candidates are not puppets”
The leader of the Popular Party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has attacked the president of Vox, Santiago Abascal, whom he accuses of “caciquering” with the electoral candidates during the campaign in Extremadura: “Our candidates are not puppets that we move with strings, and we decide them in Madrid,” said the leader of the PP during a visit to a cheese factory in Casar de Cáceres, where he went this morning to support María’s candidacy Guardiola.
His statements come after Abascal warned in an interview in the Extremaduran newspaper Hoyin relation to the conservatives’ position of not agreeing with Vox, that “if Guardiola persists, perhaps the PP will have to change candidates.” “That type of conversation in Vox is possible, in my party it is impossible. In my party it is not possible to boss around at this point with prefabricated candidates decided by a single person,” Feijóo pointed out.
“What is decided on the 21st of this month will mark the next few years in Extremadura, of course, but I dare say that it will mark the next few years in Spain,” indicated the leader of the Popular Party, who added that we are in a country “that lives in political decadence and continued misgovernment.” In his opinion, after the December 21 elections, “Extremadura can become the benchmark of good sense, the benchmark of useful politics, the benchmark of honest politicians and the benchmark of a free land.”
