Key details
Vox has sharply criticized the cooperation between the Popular Party (PP) and the Socialist Party (PSOE) on legislative reforms and regional government strategies, highlighting internal political tensions ahead of upcoming elections. In Castilla-La Mancha, Vox targets the PP for collaborating with PSOE on an autonomy statute reform that would increase regional parliament deputies from 33 to 55, with PSOE proposing up to 59 deputies. Vox condemns this as a ‘penultimate scam of bipartisanship’ revealing a collusion between PP and PSOE aimed at political benefits rather than citizens' needs.
José María Figaredo, Vox's general secretary in Congress, denounced the coalition for their joint support on multiple fronts, including climate policies and judicial council renewals. Vox argues the reform prioritizes political agendas, warning of potential regional embassies akin to separatist models, despite PP and PSOE’s defense citing population criteria and public service strengthening measures.
Meanwhile, in Aragón, Vox’s parliamentary spokesperson Alejandro Nolasco has warned regional PP leader Jorge Azcón that Vox is ready for elections amid accusations of the PP courting PSOE and neglecting their government program. Nolasco stressed Vox’s commitment to fulfilling the original PP-Vox agenda and criticized both parties for political maneuvering focused on electoral advantage, suggesting the PP aims to undermine Vox’s voter base. He noted Azcón’s PP faction has declared war on Vox under Feijóo’s influence.
These developments underscore Vox's strategic positioning as it challenges the dominant bipartisanship, accusing PP and PSOE of ignoring citizens such as farmers and youth while consolidating power through legislative compromises. The reforms and electoral posturing set the stage for intensified political conflict in late 2025.
