Abascal predicts that with a PP-Vox authorities “rigidity” will return to Catalonia and “it is going to be worse” than in 2017 The widespread consider that Abascal is attempting to gas the conflict with the independence motion to tie up some voters who flee to the PP: “Appeal to the helpful vote towards the separatists enjoying the cousin of Zumosol”The polls place the PP because the fourth pressure in Catalonia, very near ERC and effectively forward of Vox, which within the regional elections two years in the past, nonetheless, was positioned forward of the favored
“I’ve all the time rebelled towards the concept that the PP must be a testimonial social gathering in Catalonia,” he cried on Monday from Barcelona on the fourth rally that he has staged in 20 days in Catalonia. All this background work to cease being a “hostile social gathering” for the Catalans was partially dynamited yesterday by Santiago Abascal. Or a minimum of he tried to.
The far-right candidate predicted that if a PP and Vox authorities is lastly fashioned as of 23J in Catalonia, the tensions “will probably be worse” than in October 2017 when the unlawful referendum was held. “I’ve little doubt that tensions will return,” he shot throughout an informative breakfast in Madrid the place he was requested what may occur in Catalonia within the occasion that Vox comes to sit down in La Moncloa hand in hand with Alberto Núñez Feijóo.
I’ve little doubt that tensions will return to Catalonia. The scenario will probably be worse. The benefit of a authorities through which Vox is current is that we are going to not hesitate (Santiago Abascal)
Abascal’s recipe for Catalonia is to “impose” the regulation, “restore” the constitutional instruments that protect nationwide unity and the sturdy hand of Vox. “The benefit of a authorities through which Vox is in is that it’ll not occur as with Rajoy and his absolute majority. We will not be going to have these hesitations,” he threatened, opening a leak to the PP six days after 23J.
In the opinion of the favored, it’s nothing greater than the penultimate try by Vox to mobilize an voters that’s much less and fewer loyal to it and goes with the PP. “Abascal grew rather a lot in Catalonia as a response to the method. He must feed the discourse that the independence motion will rearm once more and that solely Vox will be capable of cease it. He appeals to the helpful vote towards the separatists by enjoying Zumosol’s cousin,” a distinguished chief of the social gathering defined to NIUS. Catalan PP. The drawback with this technique is that the situation in Catalonia is much from resembling what occurred with the ‘procés’ and the burning streets. “The separatists are very weak. We have taken away the Barcelona mayor’s workplace and there has not been a single escrache,” he continues.
Will it hurt the PP?
They don’t consider it within the Popular Party, satisfied that an Abascal on the vine locations them much more within the heart. “It isn’t going to hurt us in any respect. Every time Vox says or does one thing silly, it loses smart votes, if it has ever had them, but it surely locations the PP within the heart,” says the identical supply consulted by NIUS, which half that Santiago Abascal is “completely” unaware of the Catalan actuality. The calculations they make in Genoa and within the Catalan PP is that in Catalonia they are going to vote along with their very own, the previous Ciudadanos, the socialists “fed up with Sánchez’s dalliances with ERC and Bildu” and a very good a part of the outdated CiU.
The widespread ones deal with inside surveys that inform them that they’re ready to triple the outcomes of 2019, when with Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo on the head of the candidacy they solely received two deputies. The CIS pre-election macro survey offers them as much as 9 seats. The Catalan CEO locations them with between six and eight, in fourth place, effectively forward of Vox, which might take the 2 deputies he received within the 10N normal elections, and really near ERC.
Abascal must feed the discourse that the independence motion will rearm once more and that solely Vox will be capable of cease it. He appeals to the helpful vote towards the separatists by enjoying the cousin of Zumosol
There is a struggle to the open grave to take over that voters as soon as Ciudadanos has been extinguished and people of Abascal don’t intend to offer it up. In the Catalans of simply two years in the past the correlation of forces was simply the alternative. Then Vox crushed the PP model, taking it as much as 4 factors forward. Now the technique to get better positions is to distance itself from the PP and exhibit a robust hand in Catalonia, claiming the position of champions towards the independence motion. They “will not be Rajoy”. It is the one they consider their profitable trick. The picture that finest illustrates it’s that of this Sunday of his normal secretary, Ignacio Garriga, dealing with off with some protesters carrying LGTBI flags and flags and virtually coming to blows.
“The different day they arrange a fats rooster in Badalona. In Catalonia, polarization and battle are handy for them. And if it doesn’t come, then they announce it,” one other heavyweight of the Catalan PP explains to NIUS satisfied that Abascal’s are extra in ” mobilize their bases with a direct conflict with separatism” than to go face to face with them. “The Garriga factor in Badalona is the important thing to that technique,” he underlines.
Bravo to @Igarrigavaz for defending political freedom in Catalonia towards the totalitarian separatism that harasses the Catalans.

“Firmness towards the coup, within the protection of the neighborhoods and in stopping the Islamization of Catalonia. Those are the hallmarks of Vox there and we aren’t going to vary it, the PP needs to do what it needs,” replies one of many closest collaborators. Straits of Abascal in dialog with this newspaper thus confirming his roadmap for Catalonia.
The PP tries to neutralize Abascal’s threats
Beyond the analyzes within the Popular Party they attempt to place out a hearth that might burn their efforts in Catalonia. The candidate of the PP to the Congress for Barcelona, Nacho Martín Blanco, took out the fireplace extinguisher to make sure that on the a part of his social gathering “no” will search “no rigidity” with Catalan society if after the generals Alberto Núñez Feijóo is president of the Government.
“If it’s for the PP, there will probably be no rigidity in relation to the Catalan query, a lot much less any rigidity with Catalan society,” he replied yesterday when requested if territorial tensions in Catalonia will improve with a ‘widespread’ authorities. The PP “isn’t going to do completely something to feed the sensation of grievance that the nationalists feed,” he insisted. He took the chance to suit the message of the pressure of the helpful vote towards the “civil struggle impulses” of Vox.
This whereas his chief hammered one other day with a “magnificent outcome” that freed him from the poisonous backpack of the acute proper. “Coalitions will not be the very best for this nation in the mean time,” he repeated in a tv interview. “What would Sánchez do with out Vox? He could be left with out an electoral marketing campaign, ”added Alberto Núñez Feijóo, expressing the mantra that Vox” is the very best ally of Sanchismo “and for which votes proceed to flee from the Popular Party.
