Many media outlets assumed that the pacts between the PP and Vox seen in other regions of Spain could be repeated in Andalusia, but eight days later, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.europapress.es\/videos\/video-vox-afea-juanma-moreno-no-haberles-llamado-elecciones-andalucia-20260525135055.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the president of the Andalusian PP has not even called Vox<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Today, <strong>Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla<\/strong>, the president of the PP in Andalusia, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elmundo.es\/andalucia\/2026\/05\/25\/6a141c58fdddffa8508b458f.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">confirmed that he is in no hurry to talk to Vox and expressed his desire for a pact with the PSOE<\/a>, citing European institutions as a model. <strong>Moreno has championed an agreement \"between disparate political forces,\" but not referring to Vox, rather to the socialists<\/strong>, pointing to the case of the European Committee of the Regions, chaired by the Hungarian Socialist Kata Tutto, of which Moreno is vice-president: <em>\"Kata Tutto is from the Party of European Socialists and I am from the European People's Party, and we understand each other, and that is the best way to build together. <strong>It saddens me that such an example cannot exist in Spain<\/strong>.\"<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>It is at least amusing that Moreno describes the PP and the PSOE as \"disparate political forces\"<\/strong>, considering that both parties are very similar ideologically speaking: <strong>they share positions on issues such as abortion, gender ideology<\/strong>, state interventionism, climate catastrophism and <strong>even mass immigration<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eldebate.com\/espana\/comunidad-valenciana\/20260525\/pp-psoe-compromis-rechazan-elche-mocion-vox-contra-regularizacion-masiva-inmigrantes_421421.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">as the PP has demonstrated today by rejecting a Vox initiative in Elche against the mass regularization of immigrants<\/a> carried out by the government of Pedro S\u00e1nchez and which contemplates giving papers to hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants. <strong>In that vote, the PP joined its votes with those of the PSOE and the nationalists of Comprom\u00eds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It should also be noted that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2024\/07\/18\/von-der-leyens-re-election-good-news-for-sanchez-and-bad-news-for-spain\/\">the \"grand coalition\" of the European People's Party (EPP) and the Socialists in Brussels<\/a> <strong>is the reason why the European Commission systematically remains silent in the face of the abuses of Pedro S\u00e1nchez's government<\/strong>, since the Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen (of the EPP), needs the support of the Socialists to remain in office and does nothing that might upset them. <strong>Is this what the PP wants for Spain, a mutual cover-up with the PSOE?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Making these statements amidst a wave of socialist corruption scandals <strong>could result in Juanma Moreno sinking the PP's chances in the upcoming general elections<\/strong>. If, with everything that's happening, the Popular Party still wants to form a coalition with the socialists, <strong>what kind of change can the PP offer its voters?<\/strong> Let's remember, in fact, that the PP left the ideological laws of Zapatero's socialist government untouched during Mariano Rajoy's term, even though it had an absolute majority to repeal them. <strong>That was one of the reasons for the emergence of Vox<\/strong>, but it seems the PP remains incapable of doing anything different, perhaps because its ideological similarity to the PSOE pushes it precisely toward the agreements Moreno longs for.<\/p>\n<p>---<\/p>\n<p><small>Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/populares\/55277752928\/in\/dateposted\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Partido Popular<\/a>.<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Frankly, it is sometimes very difficult to understand the positions of many leaders of the Popular Party (PP) in Spain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[10398],"tags":[16673,12122,641,693],"class_list":["post-65175","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-spain","tag-andalusia","tag-juan-manuel-moreno-bonilla","tag-partido-popular","tag-psoe"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-08-12 02:46:52","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65175","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=65175"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65175\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65175"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65175"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65175"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
