The leader of VOX, Santiago Abascal, has announced the end of the coalition between the governments of his party and the PP in the autonomous communities where both parties governed: Castile and Leon, Valencian Community, Murcia, Aragon and Extremadura. The main cause is the support by the leader of the popular party, Alberto Nez Beansto the plan of Distribution of the nearly 400 unaccompanied foreign minors (known as art) between the different autonomous communities. The regional agreements are broken and we agreed to withdraw our support. The vice-presidents will announce their resignation and will go into opposition, as announced at 9:35 pm after a meeting lasting more than three hours.
This decision was taken after the Urgent and extraordinary meeting of the National Executive Committee which took place on Thursday afternoon. In these statements, the leader of VOX, Santiago Abascal, has accused Feijo of prevent all agreements with the regions, forcing their regional presidents to make a pact with Sanchez a new distribution of unaccompanied minors, knowing that his government partner caused him great concern. According to Abascal, from his party They have given in in the hope of consolidating an alternative to the Government, But it is impossible to make a pact with someone who does not want to do so. No one voted for VOX or the Popular Party to continue the invasion of illegal immigrants and unaccompanied minors.
First response from the PP
The first response from the PP has come from the Valencian Community. Carlos Mazán (PP), its president, has not waited for his vice president, José Vicente Barrera (VOX), to resign and has decided to dismiss him after Abascal’s words. He has not been the only one, since he has dispensed with two VOX councilors.
Prior to this decision, Abascal’s party issued a statement last Wednesday where he stated that VOX accuses Feijo of breaking government pacts regional by having forced the regional presidents to vote yes to the distribution of 400 unaccompanied minors in the Sectoral Conference on Children and Adolescents.
Abascal’s party claims that it was a unilateral decision by the Popular Party
From VOX they have criticized that until Tuesday, the regional presidents They had agreed to reject this distribution, But Feijo called them one by one this morning and forced them to vote in favor of Sanchez’s claims. In this statement, it is also mentioned that the decision of the popular party has been unilaterally which has caused the breaking the relationship of loyalty and collaboration between both parties. From the PP, they have conveyed tranquility, defending that the departure of the far right will be a relief.
This decision refers to the 347 ores to be distributed from the communities of the Canary Islands and Ceuta between the different autonomous communities, decision proposed by the Executive of Pedro Sánchez and the Canary Islands Government, during the Sectoral Conference on Childhood and Adolescence, which was held last Wednesday in Tenerife. This proposal also included a reform of the Foreigner Law, But this will have to continue to be debated, since the communities where the PP governs are asking for more time for its analysis.
Catalonia has abstained from the agreement for the distribution of unaccompanied minors
The main objective of this reform is that the autonomous communities welcome in a supportive and binding manner unaccompanied migrant children when reception centres are overwhelmed. Regarding this decision, all autonomous communities have voted in favor of the measure, with the exception of Catalonia, who has decided to abstain.
