• 28-M The PP already has to snatch six regional governments from the PSOE with or without Vox
  • Murcia The PP-Vox battle in the capital of Murcia irrigation and under the stigma of immigration

He will not turn 40 until October and is already burdened with four years of regional government. Fernando López Miras (Lorca, 1983), after dodging the most convulsive legislature possible, aspires to an absolute majority. Or enough, without ties to Vox.

Bildu's lists have monopolized the campaign. How does it look from Murcia? It's a very personal opinion, but I believe that a terrorist, a murderer, someone who has shot another person twice, who has planted a bomb, or who has participated in any way in all of that, cannot be a representative of our democracy. That is undignified, it is immoral and it has no ethics. It is a shame that the Socialist Party, which should be a party of State responsibility, is willing to continue agreeing with Bildu. If the law does not cover that vacuum of indignity, politicians have to put our dose so that these people are not part of the political or public scene of our country. Isabel Díaz Ayuso has called for the illegalization of Bildu with the current law. Do you ask for it too? What is clear to me is that a political party that is capable of having murderers among its representatives, I insist, should not be on the democratic scene of our country. That is, you also ask to apply the Law of Parties to outlaw Bildu.Si they are going to carry murderers, terrorists or people who have participated or collaborated in some murder, in some terrorist attack, and you do not reject it, I agree that legally they can not be part of our democracy. In strictly electoral terms for 28-M?It is more than evident that there are many moderate voters of the PSOE who are now horrified by Sanchismo and its sectarian ideological policies. And the PP has a message for all those moderate center-left voters: the only party that can guarantee a moderate government that leaves no one behind is the PP. But it also has a message for center-right and right-wing voters, and that is that if we divide the vote, if the Popular Party does not obtain a majority in the next elections in Murcia, one of the most satisfied people that election night is going to be Pedro Sánchez. There are some parties that are not exactly left-wing that would have the same satisfaction as Pedro Sánchez if the Popular Party does not have that majority. They have the same goals.

With assassins on their lists, I think Bildu shouldn't be legal

He refers to Vox. Is your goal to add more than the entire left so as not to depend on Vox? My goal is for the Region of Murcia to continue growing. That is my goal after the elections. I refer to your target in terms of results, on 28 May. We need a majority that makes us govern without having to be tied to a minority that tries to impose itself on the majority. Without having to be tied to a minority that whenever there are problems seeks prominence instead of solutions. If the PP does not achieve an absolute majority, does it commit not to govern with Vox? What is clear to me is that I do not want to govern in coalition and that I will not govern in coalition. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it because coalitions are a hoax. I say it, I had one, I lived that experience and it ended with a betrayal in the hardest moment of the pandemic [the failed motion of censure]. Coalitions are a hoax throughout Spain. They are not efficient, they are not effective, they do not make the decisions in the timely manner that situations require. In reality, there are two governments in coalitions: one part of the government wants the other to do badly. I do not want to depend on other parties that are somehow deceiving the voters, because they suggest that they can join forces with the Popular Party, but their electoral lists are made up of people who have left the PP out of resentment and their only motivation to be in another party is revenge against the PP. The PP will have more deputies than the entire left bloc and that legitimizes us to govern in lonely.

You vote water yes or water no; Water is 60% more expensive without transfer

Feijóo has said that whoever wins has to govern. If that premise had been fulfilled in 2019, you would not have governed then. Do you now think like Feijóo or like yourself in 2019? Look, if in 2019 all the parties had reached that agreement that Feijóo is asking for, of course I would have seen it well and defended it. I agree that the most voted list should govern, but the Socialist Party has to accept it. If not, no agreement is possible in that regard. We're not going to box with one hand tied behind our back. Since there is so much talk about Bildu, water, which was in the first focus of today, has been in the background. It is essential that we have a National Hydrological Plan. And there has to be a national pact for water that lays the basis for that Plan, because in Spain there is enough water for everyone, but mechanisms must be established so that all Spaniards have access to water under the same conditions. In the midst of drought, should we Murcianize in Spain and reuse and purify all the water more? No doubt. Today, one hectare of cultivation in the Region of Murcia requires 50% less water than the rest of Spain. And while in Spain right now 9% of our urban water is being purified and reused, and the goal is to reach 20% of urban water purification and use in Spain, in the Region of Murcia we purify and reuse 99%. So, instead of setting an example, why do they approve this cut in the Tajo-Segura transfer? Therefore, on May 28 in Murcia is voted transfer yes, transfer no. Undoubtedly, one of the great issues that is voted on May 28 in Murcia is water yes or water no. The PSOE has unilaterally approved the 50% cut of the Tajo-Segura transfer and the Socialists of the Region of Murcia have been unable to raise their voices. They have bowed their heads.

Vox in Murcia is made up of people who have left the PP and want revenge

With the cut of the Tajo-Segura. How much will the water become more expensive? The water bill will increase by 60%.Will you also resort to or counteract the Housing Law? It is a law that legalizes occupation. As far as possible, in Murcia it will not apply as far as the autonomic competences are concerned.Will Murcia continue to lower taxes if you continue to govern? Of course we continue to lower taxes. We have few left to go down, yes. We have eliminated Patrimony, Inheritance and Donations, we have made 15 deductions in our regional taxes, we have lowered the regional rate of Personal Income Tax, we have also deflated Personal Income Tax and the only thing, the only thing left was to be able to arrive, in the suspension of Inheritance and Donations, up to the third degree. And we have already announced.Do the AVE of Murcia have to remove the "a" of "high" speed? Without a doubt. Madrid and Murcia are about 400 kilometres away and the AVE takes three and a half hours to reach. In Blablacar it takes less. And there are only four frequencies.
