Vox censors the traffic lights in Carmena and the "colorful" pedestrian crossings: "Ideology with tax money"

MADRID, 6 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The general secretary of Vox, Ignacio Garriga, accuses the left of impregnating everything with ideology and taking advantage of the public money collected from citizens' taxes, including traffic lights or "colorful" zebra crossings.

"We want that the city councils do not allocate tax money to pay for their ideological parties," he pointed out in an interview with Europa Press, "such as changing traffic lights and pedestrian crossings by painting them colorful."

Garriga thus explains the "cultural war" that Vox wants to take to "every corner" in the municipal elections in May, in "defense of what was inherited from our parents and grandparents." "In the last year, the left has advanced ideologically, trampling not only what it received as an inheritance, but also rights and freedoms," he deepens.

This package includes the traffic lights approved by the former mayor of Madrid Manuel Carmena to make them more inclusive, pedestrian crossings and even "sports centers". For this reason, Vox will make concrete proposals in the municipal elections in May, but without forgetting that the debate of ideas is part of its "AND".

Santiago Abascal's 'number two' believes that it is "fundamental" that there be a party willing to wage that "battle" in "every ideological leap of the left." "Passivity, seeing how they are dismantling our rule of law, that is not our attitude," he warns.

In this sense, he guarantees that Vox is not going to "lower any flag" and will defend that the money from citizens collected with taxes be used to improve the welfare state and that municipalities reduce political spending.

For the next electoral cycle, Vox's first decision has been to advance the appointment of its candidates. He hopes to make them known this December and not wait until the official call for elections, as he had done up to now.

However, Garriga warns that "things in the palace are slow" and that is why they were not all announced at the turn of the summer. "Rush is not good companions," he maintains, pointing out the "great responsibility" that the party assumes in the May elections.

In his opinion, Vox's result will be "excellent", far exceeding that obtained four years ago. The party intends to present a municipal candidacy in "the majority" of town halls and in all the autonomies, so that "no Spaniard does not have the Vox acronym to vote."

GARCÍA-GALLARDO IN CyL, "A GREAT EXAMPLE"

For these elections, Ignacio Garriga raises as "a great example" the experience of Castilla y León, with Juan García-Gallardo as vice president of the Junta in coalition with the Popular Party of Alfonso Fernández Mañueco.

"When Vox is here, subsidies to unions and employers are reduced, employment is promoted, industry, the rural world is encouraged. That is what will be done on a different scale in all municipalities when we have representation," he explains.
