Abascal Launches Vox’s Aragón Precampaign With Teruel Rally and Town-by-Town Tour

He is targeting Teruel’s low seat threshold to grow Vox’s leverage before the February 8 election.

Overview

  • Vox opened its push in Teruel by presenting provincial lists at a packed Pabellón de Congresos, with buses bringing supporters from across the province.
  • Santiago Abascal warned PP president Jorge Azcón that he had "committed an error," asserting that Aragonese voters will "want more Vox" and pointing to the party’s recent surge in Extremadura.
  • Abascal said he will traverse Aragón pueblo a pueblo through the campaign to seek gains where fewer votes translate into seats.
  • The party framed itself as the defender of depopulated Spain and attacked Pedro Sánchez and PP-PSOE deals it says hurt the countryside, citing green policies, CAP terms and the Mercosur agreement.
  • Vox targeted Teruel Existe and leader Tomás Guitarte as rivals for provincial seats and named retired sergeant Francisco Casarrubio de la Rubia as its new Huesca provincial chief.
