Abascal on his meeting with Feijóo: "We share concerns but the recipes we want to apply are incompatible"

MADRID, 2 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The leader of Vox, Santiago Abascal, has indicated that his meeting with the president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, served to confirm that both "share some concerns", but the "recipes that each wants to apply collide" and "can reach be incompatible."

"But it is true that it has been a cordial conversation and that we are people who can understand each other, from important, very important differences," Abascal said, in an interview with the writer and economist Jano García, about the meeting he had with Feijóo ago a few days that he has assured that it was not "secret".

Regarding the PP, Abascal has also said that his party is not the "broom car" of the 'popular': "Neither I nor any Vox leader have gotten into this mess (politics) to pick up the dissatisfied PP or the abstentionists (...). We are not going to blackmail anyone, what we are going to do is defend the interests of the people who support us".

On the other hand, the leader of Vox has made Spain's current "suicidal" and "criminal" energy policy ugly, which, in his opinion, "could be one of the most sovereign countries in Europe" in energy matters if it were to bet on it. In this sense, he has asked to allow fracking, reopen nuclear power plants or open new ones.

For Abascal, Vox is the only party that looks towards that "energy sovereignty", while "the PP does not know where it is going." In this regard, he has advocated conducting a consultation among the population based on article 92 of the Constitution that "provides for consultations with citizens on issues of political importance." "We say that the time has come: for 40 years the parties have asked very little," he added.

In this context, the leader of Vox has criticized Parliament for voting "en bloc so that Spaniards continue to pay the most expensive electricity and gas bills."

Also, he has branded the Congress a "Persian market in which national sovereignty is delivered to the highest bidder", which, he lamented, is "the one who has the necessary votes to approve the Budget or the investiture".
