Vox rejects the offer to occupy the Presidency of the Assembly of Extremadura in exchange for not entering the Government

The president of the PP of Extremadura, María Guardiola, has offered this Monday to Vox to hold the president of the Assembly of Extremadura, which is constituted this Tuesday, June 20, in exchange for "freedom for the preparation of the government" of the Junta de Estremadura.

A proposal that Guardiola has delivered to the representatives of Vox in the second meeting that they have held this Tuesday in Mérida, and that the formation led in Extremadura by Ángel Pelayo Gordillo has rejected, according to PP sources.

During the meeting, the leader of the PP from Extremadura has offered an "agreement for governability and political change in Extremadura", made up of 15 points, and that Vox has not accepted, which, in the opinion of the PP from Extremadura "means preventing a government of change" for which they trust that "the interests of Extremadura will be put before the term that we still have until the constitution of Parliament" this Tuesday.

The PP of Extremadura points out that "it does not consider the negotiation closed", and remains "waiting for Vox to reconsider its position thinking about the mandate of the people of Extremadura for a change to take place in the region", they point out.

In this sense, the president of the PP of Extremadura, María Guardiola, has indicated that she hopes that Vox "accepts" these measures, which "have the sole purpose of the progress and prosperity of Extremadura, and that they would make possible the change that the people of Extremadura have asked at the polls".

In the agreement proposed by the leader of the PP of Extremadura to Vox, collected by Europa Press, it is advocated "guaranteeing the change that the people of Extremadura have requested through the polls, with generosity, mutual loyalty", as well as a programmatic agreement that "allow Extremadura to grow and evolve in all areas".

It also advocates "providing the region with a stable and efficient government" that sets as its main objective "fighting unemployment, poverty, the lack of opportunities and depopulation", adopting the "necessary economic and social measures that get Extremadura out of the inertia of recent years".

For this, the PP undertakes to "vote for the candidate presented by Vox for the Presidency of the Assembly of Extremadura", in the constituent session of this Tuesday, June 20, while one of the vice-presidencies and one of the secretariats of the Chamber, "the candidate that the PP presents to each of them" would be voted on and Vox would renounce to present a candidacy for these positions.

The proposal also establishes "to support the candidacy of the president of the PP of Extremadura, María Guardiola", for the Presidency of the Junta de Extremadura, in the investiture debate in the Assembly, "thus guaranteeing the government of change" for the region.

The PP also includes in its proposal that the president of the PP of Extremadura "will hold freedom to make the government of the Junta de Extremadura", although she must "submit to periodic monitoring of compliance with the commitments that the parties assume by means of this agreement". .

It also establishes the need to "seek consensus and unity around the common pillars of the programs of both formations to materialize the 15 points" that Guardiola points out in his letter, and that "they have, as their sole purpose, to improve life of families and promote the economic and social development of the region, and have become, since the signing of this document, the priority roadmap for political action in Extremadura".
