Montero Criticizes Feijóo's Calls for Elections Amidst Tensions in Spanish Politics
The Vice President accuses the PP leader of seeking early elections to distract from leadership challenges and highlights a growing alliance between the right and far-right.
In a recent address at the Provincial Congress of the Socialist Party (PSOE) in Málaga, María Jesús Montero, the Spanish Vice President and Minister of Finance, remarked on the ongoing political climate and the leadership of Alberto Núñez Feijóo, the leader of the Popular Party (PP).
Montero claimed that Feijóo advocates for elections almost daily to deflect attention from his leadership within the PP. She affirmed that the current government intends to 'exhaust the legislature,' indicating that there is almost three years left for any potential changes.
Montero criticized PP's frequent challenges to electoral results, suggesting that this tactic serves to prevent discussion of changes in party leadership, particularly as elections approach.
'They are constantly questioning the outcome of the polls,' she stated, adding that the party seems to be overwhelmed by the proximity of new elections, which hinders any potential recovery of leadership.
During her speech, Montero referred to the Popular Party as 'the party of confrontation,' suggesting that they lacked concrete proposals or solutions.
She characterized their interactions as solely focused on conflict and rhetoric rather than presenting a constructive national project.
Montero highlighted this event as a missed opportunity for the PP to put forth substantive ideas for national governance.
Further, she criticized the growing collaboration between the PP and the far-right party Vox, asserting that this alliance undermines the general interests of society.
Montero condemned the PP's stance on environmental issues and their alignment with Vox on budget agreements following crises such as the recent adverse weather events in Valencia, accusing the party of negligence in governance.
Concerned about the implications of this partnership, she addressed the lack of adherence to established migration policies that prioritize human dignity, especially for vulnerable populations.
Montero urged for a continuous effort to promote the progressive agenda of the PSOE, highlighting the need to combat what she describes as a detrimental alliance between the right and far-right factions in Spain.
