Vox Toughens Demands in Valencian Succession Talks as PP Tries to Head Off Snap Election

Vox has shifted the bargaining to concrete policy concessions, naming Ignacio Garriga as its negotiator.

Overview

  • After a call between Alberto Núñez Feijóo and Santiago Abascal, Vox said it will be "more firm and more demanding" and will negotiate on policies rather than names.
  • Abascal focused Vox’s conditions on rejecting the EU Green Deal and tightening immigration policy, including the reception of unaccompanied minors.
  • Feijóo urged “seriousness” to keep the Valencian government stable and avoid new elections, citing ongoing reconstruction needs after last year’s DANA floods.
  • Spain’s presidency minister Félix Bolaños warned the PP might accept "machista" and "racist" measures to retain power and called for an early regional election.
  • Vox appointed its secretary general Ignacio Garriga to lead the talks from the national leadership, with reporting pointing to November 19 as a tentative target to present a candidate or close a deal.
