Canary Coalition says it will be "essential" for the investiture but will not support a government with Vox or Sumar

SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, July 29 (EUROPA PRESS) -

Canary Coalition (CC) has claimed this Saturday as "essential" for the investiture of the next president of the Government of Spain. Of course, they have insisted that their elected deputy Cristina Valido will not support any formula in which the party of Santiago Abascal or the platform of Yolanda Díaz participates. "We are open to talking about the Canary Islands as long as Vox or Sumar are not in the equation," they have remarked.

The Canarian nationalists thus reaffirm the position they expressed after Sunday's voting, even after learning that the recount of the foreign vote is going to give the PP one more deputy for Madrid to the detriment of the PSOE.

In this new scenario, the only vote of the Canary Coalition would allow the socialist candidate, Pedro Sánchez, to be sworn in without the support of Junts. If he achieved the support of Sumar, ERC, Bildu, PNV, BNG and CC, it would be enough for Sánchez if Junts abstained. However, if the CC rejected his investiture, the socialist would need the yes of those of Carles Puigdemont.

On the other hand, Valido's vote would not be enough to make the PP candidate, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, president. If he added it to the 137 deputies of the PP, plus the 33 of Vox, and that of the Unión del Pueblo Navarro, they would remain at 171 yeses, compared to the predictable 178 noes that the coalition government formations plus all the nationalist and pro-independence parties would collect. .

For now, CC has reiterated its intention not to support the PP if it goes with Vox or the PSOE if it does so with Sumar. "We will not support any government where the extreme right (Vox) or left (Sumar) are," he said, stressing that his deputy's vote "would not in any case be a blank check, but rather serve to strengthen the Canary Islands in the whole of the State".

Specifically, Valido has stressed that no support is proposed that does not contemplate the commitment of the next Government to the Canary Islands jurisdiction, the Statute of Autonomy and the Economic and Fiscal Regime, as well as compliance with the Canary Islands agenda.

For Valido, "the only objective of the Canary Islands Coalition is the Canary Islands." "We are open to talking about the Canary Islands as long as Vox or Sumar are not in the equation," he reiterated.

That they have taken the opportunity to point out that their status as "essential" for the investiture gives them the reason about the importance of the Canary Islands having their own group in Congress, as nationalist forces have in other territories.
