The secretary general of Vox, Ignacio Garriga, has no doubt that the president of the Junta of Andalusia and candidate for re-election, Juanma Moreno Bonilla, will sit down to negotiate with his party to achieve the investiture and that sooner or later he will assume and accept the principle of national priority that Santiago Abascal’s party has already imposed in Extremadura and Aragon and is imposing in Castilla y León and the Valencian Community.
“All the regional leaders of the PP have assumed it, so I am convinced that Moreno Bonilla will have no impediment to doing so if his colleagues in the other regions have assumed this political principle,” Garriga said at the press conference following the leadership meeting to assess the results of yesterday’s elections.
In any case, Vox’s number two has prioritized a “change of course” in the community’s policies over entering Moreno’s government. “I understand that the government has some interest in governing alone or in coalition, but the most important thing is what we are going to do in Andalusia,” Garriga said to assure that his party will act “with great humility, great responsibility and aware of proportionality.” “Measure by measure, policy by policy,” the secretary general insisted, for whom the Andalusians “want a change in policies and then the time will come to decide who applies it, that will be another screen.”
Garriga justified his position of strength by saying that Vox is the only party that has risen not only in Andalusia but throughout the four regional elections cycle that ended yesterday, and that it is capable of conditioning the policies of the new PP executives. And this time, he was convinced, it will be no different. “The ballot boxes were very clear, the Andalusians gave us the enormous responsibility of having the capacity to condition the government of Andalusia,” he concluded, adding that his party will act “with great humility, great responsibility and aware of proportionality.” “I have no doubt that the Popular Party will act this way,” he emphasized.

In this regard, Vox’s number two was convinced that Moreno Bonilla “after losing the absolute majority” and “aware of the verdict of the ballot boxes” will not go to an investiture without first sitting down to negotiate it. “He will sit with us, negotiate and will not present himself for an investiture without first having spoken with someone who has the mandate to change policies,” he pointed out.
Regarding these negotiations, Garriga stated that they will start talking with the PP in the coming days or weeks “without any kind of rush” as – he recalled – they have already done in Extremadura and Aragon and are doing in Castilla y León. Likewise, he explained that both the national leadership of the party and the Andalusian leadership will participate in these talks.
Regarding the specific content of the negotiations, Garriga listed, in addition to the national priority in public aid, the “end of political waste, putting an end to massive immigration, access to housing, education and security on the streets.” “Common sense,” he summarized.
