Prohens warns Vox after Orbán's defeat: "Populism cannot fool everyone"

PalmThe PP deputies do not hide their satisfaction this Tuesday over Viktor Orbán's defeat in the Hungarian elections. They see in the fact that the one who has unseated the extremist is not precisely from the left but Péter Magyar, a former member of their own ranks, a trend in favor of a more moderate right. While Vox, which sent its leader, Gabriel Le Senne, to campaign for Orbán in Hungary,is now downplaying the debacle, the president of the Govern, Marga Prohens, has taken it upon herself to recall it in the control session of the Govern. In an exchange with Vox in the Parliament, the Popular Party member warned them to be "alert" to populism, because "it cannot fool everyone all the time".

The head of the Executive has accused the spokesperson for the far-right, Manuela Cañadas, of trying to confuse citizens, and has equated right-wing populism with left-wing populism. She said this after Cañadas once again asked a question in which she linked the saturation of the health system with irregular immigration, without data to support this argument.

Cañadas has demanded that Prohens report on the annual expenditure of healthcare "for illegal immigration", which she has accused of "invading" the Islands. Vox wants assistance not to be provided to irregular immigrants. As the Government refuses, citing reasons of humanity and public health, Cañadas has asked that with this same argument they could be "sent back to their countries".

Prohens has reproached Cañadas for repeating a question she already asked her in the previous plenary session, when the president replied that immigrants without a residence permit represent only 1% of the demand on the public healthcare system.
