Last week, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.larazon.es\/espana\/califica-poco-fraude-cesion-diputados-erc-junts-parte-psoe-sumar_2023082464e727ea5df8e30001e2c70f.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the PP has already offered the PNV a \"very relevant\" role<\/a> if Feij\u00f3o is elected president, without specifying what it meant by that. Yesterday, the president of the Galician government, <strong>Alfonso Rueda (PP)<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.europapress.es\/galicia\/noticia-rueda-no-recusa-propuesta-territorial-urkullu-avisa-galicia-luchara-evitar-desigualdades-20230831150928.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">said that the covert reform of the Constitution proposed by Urkullu is \"on the right track\"<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>All this, moreover, while <strong>Feij\u00f3o insists on speaking with the separatists of Junts<\/strong>, a party that supported the 2017 separatist coup in Catalonia and whose leader, Carles Puigdemont, is a fugitive from Justice. Feij\u00f3o insists on it regardless of the fact that this is a way to <strong>whitewash some seditionists<\/strong> and even considering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vozpopuli.com\/espana\/choque-feijoo-alejandro-fernandez.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the possibility of beheading the PP of Catalonia<\/a> -whose leadership has been very critical of that meeting- <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2016\/12\/21\/aznar-no-va-a-regenerar-la-derecha-espanola-como-tampoco-lo-hizo-durante-su-mandato\/\">as Aznar already did with Alejo Vidal -Quadras<\/a> after the signing of the Majestic Pact with the CiU nationalists in 1996.<\/p>\n<p><big>Vox had almost twice as many votes as the five separatist parties combined<\/big><\/p>\n<p>At this point, I think it is worth remembering that <strong>in the last general elections Vox obtained 3 million votes<\/strong>. Perhaps to some it seems like a meager figure, but to give us an idea of its real weight in our society, <strong>the separatist parties (ERC, Junts, Bildu, the PNV and the BNG) added 1.6 between them. million votes<\/strong>. Thus, the majority parties -PSOE and PP- are insisting on the same mistake that they have been making for decades: <strong>conditioning the future of Spain to the whims of a separatist minority<\/strong> whose real weight in our society is much lower than that of Spaniards who voted for Vox. We are also talking about <strong>a separatist minority that is permanently installed in blackmail, disloyalty and the promotion of hatred towards Spain<\/strong> through the most varied channels, including ideological indoctrination in schools.<\/p>\n<p><big>If the PP continues down this path, it will have to do so without the support of Vox<\/big><\/p>\n<p><strong>If the Popular Party insists on its nods to the separatists<\/strong>, if it insists on making pleas to those who hate Spain and those who seek to break coexistence between Spaniards, it must be clear that <strong>it will not do so with the votes of those three million Spaniards who support Vox<\/strong>. The leaders of this party have already demonstrated their patriotism and generosity in spades, offering their support to Feij\u00f3o in exchange for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2023\/08\/22\/feijoos-change-of-discourse-expressly-appreciates-voxs-support-for-his-investiture\/\">very basic demands<\/a>, to prevent S\u00e1nchez from getting his re-election at the cost of demolishing the unity of Spain.<\/p>\n<p>But <strong>the PP's alternative to S\u00e1nchez cannot be to give in to separatism for a covert and illegal reform of the Constitution<\/strong>, turning its back on the Spanish and in a new step to continue fueling separatism at the expense of our national unity. <strong>If the PP wants to follow this path, as it has done other times, it must be clear that it will do so without Vox's seats.<\/strong> As a voter of this party I am convinced that Santiago Abascal and the other leaders of Vox will make it clear to the PP, because <strong>we are no longer talking about disrespecting Vox, but rather disrespecting Spain<\/strong>, and that has always been the red line par excellence for Vox.<\/p>\n<p>---<\/p>\n<p><small>Photo: Efe.
