Ceuta Vox presents an initiative to revoke the declaration of persona 'non grata' to Abascal
Politics The PP does not see its relationship with Vox broken but fears that they will force elections in Andalusia
"The Popular Party has never raised
sanitary cords
or demonized any democratic leader; we only demand a responsible and state policy on fundamental issues."
The president of the PP, Pablo Casado, spoke on Tuesday about the political crisis in Ceuta for the first time since Santiago Abascal was declared persona
non grata
in the Assembly of the autonomous city
on Friday
.
Although he did so without explicitly citing the president of Vox, who has announced that he will break relations with the PP for having abstained in that vote.
"We appeal to unite the vote around a sensible, moderate, effective, reformist and transversal government option, and with the necessary international experience to respond to the challenges in the Maghreb", as well as in America and Europe, he added.
That vision of the PP is, in his opinion, "the best vaccine against populism", in contrast to Vox.
This has been indicated by the leader of the PP during his telematic participation in the seminar
The center-right in the face of the populist threat
, after having to postpone the trip he planned to make to Bogotá (Colombia) due to the Covid-19 restrictions that force the Travelers on flights from this country to keep a 10-day quarantine upon arrival in Spain.
Casado has insisted that his party has to "face the political division of the moderate forces and the center-right."
"Today, for example, the PP in Spain is clearly leading the polls already 30 to 40 seats above the PSOE," he stressed, congratulating himself on the fact that his formation is "being able to unite all the alternative to Sánchez ".
"I think that union and that alternative is what all countries have to do in the face of the enemies of freedom," said the PP president.
Feijóo tempers the spirits
On the other hand, the president of the Xunta de Galicia, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has assured that, "in general", he does not like to declare people
non gratas
to leaders, but has clarified that, in the case of Ceuta, the PP "did not encourage or propose" to do it with the leader of Vox, and has pointed out that just as "it is not good to enter into personal disqualifications of any politician" neither is it to "exaggerate" that statement.
This has been stated in statements to the media, as reported by
Europa Press
from A Gudiña (Ourense), after being asked about the controversy.
Feijóo has defended that, from his point of view, "it has no greater relevance" and is "exceeding the relevance" of this matter, in accordance with what "probably" is "interested" in Vox, but it does not suppose "his first political problem or concern "for all citizens.
That said, he recalled when Mariano Rajoy was declared persona
non grata
in his city, Pontevedra, being president of the Government and with the support at the local level of the two formations at the head of the Consistory (BNG and PSOE).
"We normally leave that to the nationalists and the left," said the Galician leader, for whom giving this type of case is "generally" a "mistake."
