Vox brings "national priority" to Parliament and forces the PP to speak out

PalmaVox continues to squeeze the pact with the PP in Extremadura. After registering a motion in Congress to establish a "national priority" when receiving aid and subsidies, it is beginning to do the same in other territories. The spokesperson for Vox in the Balearic Parliament, Manuela Cañadas, announced this Wednesday that she has registered a non-binding proposal along the same lines. With this move, the far-right once again pulls the PP into its territory, forcing it to pronounce on an issue that makes it uncomfortable, as various popular leaders have already expressed, such as the Madrid president, Isabel Díaz Ayuso.

"The PP in Extremadura has already accepted it", he said in statements collected by Europa Press. "What can be done in Extremadura can be achieved in the Balearic Islands and the rest of Spain", he remarked at the press conference after the Spokespersons' Board. The initiative, among other issues, demands that the Spanish government recognize that "Spaniards have preference in access to public services". "It is something so elementary that it is shameful to have to ask for it", he said.

PP sources explain that they have not yet thoroughly studied the content of the non-binding proposal, but they plan to present amendments to it, as the Popular Party has already done in Congress. If approved, the text would have no practical effect, as it is a non-binding proposal without legal standing. But with this move, Vox achieves visibility after the differences became visible again yesterday in Parliament. On the one hand, Vox voted against the validation of the anti-crisis decreefrom the Government. On the other hand, it rejected the PP's amendments to the law on strategic projects, warning the Popular Party that if they want their support, they will have to negotiate them.
