The parliamentary spokesman of Izquierda Unida and deputy of Sumar, Enrique Santiago, disqualified the ultra-right wing of Vox and questioned its alliance with the PP.

Madrid.- In statements during his visit to the National Congress, Santiago stressed that Vox’s offer to donate the vote of its 33 deputies in exchange for nothing to facilitate the investiture to a government of the Popular Party (PP), is a pact of two who have themselves.

“The reality is what it is, the Popular Party has no more allies, nobody picks up the phone to the PP because it has subordinated its policies to those of the ultra-right and, in turn, what the ultra-right is favoring is to end the fundamental rights and freedoms that have cost so much effort to build in this country,” he said.

The former Secretary of State stressed that the work of formations such as Izquierda Unida (IU) or the Sumar coalition is simply “to defend democracy, and that is incompatible with a right-wing government supported by the extreme right”.

Santiago, who this Monday processed his accreditation as deputy for the 15th Legislature for which he was elected, showed his hope that no democratic force is going to be supporting a government supported by the ultra-right. (PL)
