MADRID, 11 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Vox has launched a campaign to call for mobilization in the general elections on July 23 and achieve a large turnout at the polls that it hopes will allow Pedro Sánchez and his partners from the Moncloa Palace to unseat. Its parliamentary spokesman, Iván Espinosa de los Monteros, already warned a few days ago that the PSOE should not be left “for dead” and an “excess of confidence” could be “lethal” for its interests.
Since the announcement of the call for general elections, Vox has encouraged its followers on several occasions to go to vote, not being dissuaded by the summer date. “Better to lose a day of vacation than to live submissively for four more years,” reads one of the messages with which he intends to mobilize his people.
It also disseminates the possibility of voting by mail, as well as residents outside of Spain. And he recalls that in the recent regional elections they won a seat in the Madrid Assembly thanks to the recount of the foreign vote.
“That going on vacation or living abroad does not deprive you this 23J of voting for Vox, the only national alternative,” he asks, accompanying his messages on the necessary procedure to vote without having to go to the polling station.
This message was already transmitted days ago by Espinosa de los Monteros in a broad reflection that he published on his personal Twitter account about the results of the May 28 elections. “On July 23 you have to go vote, whatever happens. And if we can’t make an effort one day, we run the risk of spending another three years, eleven months and 29 days complaining. We have been warned,” he warned supporters of Vox.
In his opinion, the electoral call is “an enormous opportunity” but “it is not without risk”, given the “erroneous” vision that “some crashed resoundingly” in the regional and municipal elections and that others “swept away”.
The first piece of information that the Vox leader denies in his reflection is that of the “disaster” of the PSOE. Reviewing the figures, he explains that the Socialists lost just over one point compared to 2019 and around 1,500 councilors, figures that at these magnitudes “is not a big deal.”
With this, he concludes that the PSOE “is not so bad”. “With all the atrocities that this legislature has done and they have barely fallen – he certifies, pointing from the case of the Venezuelan Delcy Rodríguez to Bildu -. Be careful not to give them up for dead.”
Where he does notice a drop is in “the world of power”, although the comparison is more complicated due to its different configurations, although he emphasizes that they were left out of many regional parliaments by only “a handful of votes”.
Therefore, he asks to be “very careful” with “easy” interpretations of what happened. “Let’s not assume that this is done for the general elections,” he claims, delving into the party’s message about the need to go to vote.
