This Saturday Santiago Abascal arrived at one of his electoral fiefdoms. To a land, Almería, where Vox could, according to the latest Sigma Dos polls for EL MUNDO, overtake the PSOE and remain as the second political force. The objective, therefore, for the party is clear: "recover Spain." The multiple national flags that have filled the Plaza de la Constitución have hailed this and their candidate for president has guaranteed it, although for this there is only, in his opinion, one formula: kick out the "lying mafia" that represents the Government and that has "destroyed everything."
These elections are for Abascal "all or nothing." "The moment of our lives," he declared to the public, while calling out the polls - which give him a good result - as his "biggest enemy" at the moment. Although if they are rivals, the president of Vox has directly pointed out the Socialist Party, the current Executive and the president of the Government. "Why did you bring forward the elections when you always said that you would exhaust the legislature?" he asked his supporters. "Because they know what is coming to them, they know that the PSOE is going to be a party that is going to illegalize itself," he exclaimed, referring to the entry of the UCO into the Ministry of Equality and all the corruption that has surrounded the Ferraz headquarters.
"We are facing a lying mafia," he noted, with "its militants, with its voters, with all Spaniards, with the amnesty, with the pardons and with any matter." An organization, he added, that is "corrupt, corrupt, corrupt to the driver", that has "betrayed" its own voters by agreeing with Bildu and that has "sold the national interest to Morocco", he said in reference to a crisis and a city, Ceuta, that has been very present throughout the event.
In this attack against the socialists, Abascal also recalled the episode in which the Roncho clan was commissioned to "eliminate" Judge Biedma in Extremadura. "They are afraid of the same devil. You have to get rid of them. It doesn't matter if you are on the left, right, center or whatever." "They have destroyed everything" he stated: the road network, the railway network - "placing their cronies where there should be technicians", the hospital network or the educational network. "They are a danger," he said. "Either we get rid of them, or things in Spain are going to get very ugly," he said.
In addition, the Vox leader has also wondered "what they will be able to do if they manage to stay in power through tricks." "We would all have a lot to fear," he warned about a possible scenario of an electoral comeback on the part of the left.
Given this and with a program, he says, "of national urgency", Abascal has appealed to "concord" - not to all parties - and to rebuild everything destroyed. The solutions? Tax cuts, national priority, deregulation and remigration. "Who takes from his own to give to those outside? What would we call a father who takes bread from his son's mouth to give to his neighbor?" "It's common sense," he said, alluding to his campaign slogan.
On the other hand, the most conservative leader did not want to make reference to his competitor on the right. For those who do not agree with immigration policy, with national priority and "common sense", Abascal has asked to vote for the PP. A party with which, he affirms, his party gets along "well" and with which they have been "able to understand each other", but which is going "very slowly" on several issues. "We ask you for strength so that the change is much deeper," he stated.
In this sense and aware that one more seat in Congress can be decisive when negotiating a future coalition government, he remarked: "We will see what the formula is and the result if we manage to oust the boss. Depending on that, the depth of the change will be one or the other."
In relation to immigration and gender violence, Abascal has been forceful calling the slogan "pancartucha" the slogan under which the parties demonstrate and, in reference to the murder of a woman in Asturias, he has replaced the term "gender violence" with "religious violence" and "religious fanaticism" that "despises women."
"They are going to try intimidation and violence. They are going to cheat, they are going to cheat, but there is nothing that can overcome the gigantic mobilization of the vast majority of Spaniards" who have to "regain hope," he exclaimed.
