Overview
- Santiago Abascal publicly accused the Palacio de la Moncloa of organizing harassment and violence against Vox after clashes followed party events in A Coruña and Avilés, according to his remarks in Burgos.
- Local and party outlets reported the disturbances at those rallies but the claim that the executive orchestrated them has not been independently verified.
- Abascal described the attackers as 'violent militias' and said their goal was to prevent Vox from exposing what he called the 'mafia' and corruption in Pedro Sánchez’s government.
- He confirmed that negotiations with the People's Party on joint Senate lists are under way and described those talks as 'very serious and very important' while declining to give details.
- The escalation of accusatory rhetoric increases risks to public order, could shape voter mobilization and coalition math, and places pressure on media and authorities to clarify evidence and accountability.
