First I planted Santiago Abascal. Vox’s advisor in the Government of Extremadura, Ignacio Higuerowill continue to lead the Forest Management and Rural World area. This was confirmed this Friday by the president of Extremadura, Maria Guardiola, who has praised his “commitment to Extremadura and the people of Extremadura, above all else.” It should be remembered that Higuero, despite representing Abascal’s party, is independent.
However, although Higuero will remain in his position, Guardiola will now govern alone, as the pact between the PP and Vox has been broken. The president of Extremadura wanted to emphasize the “brave and committed step” of the Minister of Forest Management, who has pointed out that although he understands the turn that Vox has taken, it does not seem to him “not loyal nor honest” change the rules of the game in the middle of the match.
“I understand the turn that Vox has taken but I do not agree with it and I cannot defend it”Higuero has qualified, after making a “complicated” decision in which he says he has put his enthusiasm and his “commitment to and for the people of Extremadura” first. An opinion shared by the PP leader: “The break-up announced by Vox has nothing to do with any of the 60 measures signed in the governance agreement. So far, Vox has not given any logical explanationnor do I think I can give it because it doesn’t exist. I don’t even know if it’s worth it anymore.”
Red lines: migration
In this regard, the President of Extremadura has pointed out that “politics can never be the problem. Politics must be the solution. Citizens vote for us to work for their benefit and in the general interest. And for that reason, a year ago, the red lines we drew to protect and defend the rights of the people of Extremadura have always been safeguarded. These red lines have always been outside the pact.“.
And precisely, One of those red lines that separated both parties was migration.. An issue that was left out of the governing pact, just like feminism, equality or the rights of LGBT people, among other issues. “Both parties focused on those things that united us for the progress of our region. The fact that all of that was left out of the governing pact has not stopped the growth of this region, quite the opposite. We have not left a single option for regression,” Guardiola said.
For this reason, the popular leader assures that “It makes no sense to come and demand issues that were not part of that agreement. of governability”. In addition, he argues that Extremadura society is open and modern and “progress can never be tied or conditioned to any ideology.”
Because the president of Extremadura has insisted that her party “scrupulously complies” with the signed agreement and “whoever wants to break it, if that is the case, will have to give their explanations.” In addition, she has emphasized that she has no more information than that published by the media, and that, in the case of Extremadura, “Vox has not said anything at all” on whether or not to break the agreement
