Ana Rosa Quintana asked Alberto Núñez Feijóo, president of the Popular Party, on Telecinco if he continued to maintain his proposal that the most voted list govern. The journalist made the caveat that with that he would sacrifice the government of Extremadura for his party (he got 28 deputies, like the PSOE, but Fernández Vara added 6,000 more votes). Feijóo answered up to two times that 'yes': "We would gain a number of provincial capitals, a number of Provincial Councils ...", although he stressed then that the PSOE is not willing to this agreement.

These statements fell like a political bomb in the already climate of uncertainty that exists about the formation of the new government in Extremadura and, above all, between the ideological and strategic differences of María Guardiola, elected candidate of the PP of Extremadura, and Vox in this territory. In fact, Ángel Pelayo, the leader of the formation of Abascal in Extremadura, is the first thing he grabbed this Thursday in his press appearance: "First they have to clarify among themselves and then we will sit down to negotiate if they solve it; we do say the same thing here and everywhere in Spain." While the PSOE inflames and propagates, more and more, the possibility of an electoral repetition.

"My bosses are the people of Extremadura"

In this scenario María Guardiola was forced to leave hours later to mark territory before the general confusion existing at the moment among the voters of her party, those of Vox (both formations do add up to reach the presidency of the Board) and citizens in general. And he did it in a forceful way: "My bosses are the Extremadurans, I owe them to them, and I am here for the Extremadurans, they asked for change," he proclaimed. And then he added: "Vara's decisions are made by Sánchez, mine are made by me together with the people of Extremadura. Our land is not governed from Madrid."

So the first pulse between the new Baroness of Extremadura and Genoa is already on the table. Although she then qualified the internal conversations she has with Feijóo: "I have your word that I have a free hand to do the best for my land and that is what I am doing since I assumed the presidency of the Popular Party in Extremadura," she said. In addition, he clung to his electoral program: "It is my commitment to the people of Extremadura and from here I can not move because if I have wanted to teach my children something is that the words of the people is the most valuable thing there is and I am a person before politics, "he said in an interview on the Cuatro chain.

In this way, she added that her "red lines do not exist but there are green, white and black (the colors of Extremadura)" to which she added: "I am convinced that I will end up understanding with the Vox candidate when he has to call me, sit down with me to talk about Extremadura in Extremadura. " In this sense, he said: "I would like to know if the Vox candidate has these free hands or is managed by the feudal lord, by Madrid, who tells him what we have to do in this land."

And he also criticized Fernández Vara: "He called me on Sunday to congratulate me and to make himself available and we have seen how in less than 48 hours Sánchez gets him out of bed and tells him to stand in front of a lectern so that this lengthens it as it is and he obediently, as he has always done, What he says is that he is going to go to an investiture that he knows is failed because it does not add up, that simple."
