Abascal campaigns in Murcia, calling for a change of government
Vox leader Santiago Abascal campaigned in Murcia as he called for Spain’s Socialist-led government to be replaced.
Murcia is a strong area for Vox, which won there in 2019; recent polling cited in the story projects the party would win four seats in the region, two more than the Socialists.
Abascal described the choice at the next election as “Spain or the mafia” and accused the government of corruption and damaging public services.
He also blamed what he called green fanaticism for the effects of floods, presenting these claims as part of his attack on the government.
Vox’s proposed measures include tax cuts, remigration and deregulation in farming and industry, along with giving national priorities greater weight.
Abascal said Vox wants a deeper change than the alternative he sees in the conservative People’s Party, though he said the two parties have been able to reach agreements.
Vox is seeking to remove the Socialists from government, but the story does not give an election date or say what happens next.
Vox leader Santiago Abascal called for a change of government during a campaign event in Murcia.
He described the coming elections as a choice between “Spain or the mafia” and urged voters to remove the socialists from government.
Abascal accused the government of corruption and of damaging Spain’s transport and education networks.
He proposed tax cuts, remigration, deregulation and “national priority” as part of a Vox programme of “national urgency”.
