Feijóo Downplays Prospects for Sánchez Meeting, Criticizes Financing Pact and Urges Vox Support

He says he will attend the Moncloa meeting out of respect for the presidency.

Overview

  • Alberto Núñez Feijóo said his chances of agreement with Pedro Sánchez are "between nil and scarce" ahead of their Monday meeting on foreign, security and defense policy.
  • He framed his attendance as an institutional duty, adding that he is not leading an "antisystem" party and that respecting the presidency is an obligation.
  • Responding to Santiago Abascal's criticism of the contact with the Government, Feijóo argued that Vox spends more time attacking the PP than the PSOE.
  • He asked Vox to provide stability in Extremadura for María Guardiola's investiture, noting she won more votes than PSOE and Vox combined in the December 21 election.
  • He rejected the financing model reportedly negotiated by Sánchez and Oriol Junqueras as improvised and lacking consultation with regional presidents, questioning Junqueras's legitimacy and linking the proposal to Catalan independence demands.
