Felipe Sicilia (spokesman for PSOE Federal Executive) has denied Thursday’s claim that the election to the Presidency in Andalusian Government would involve a change of the electoral cycle. He has stated that these elections are “merely” independent. He has also pointed out that only the cycles of the Popular Party have changed.
Sicilia, who was asked if these elections were a test for the coalition government or if they will go beyond regional elections, stated that “some have been talking about a different electoral cycle for a while, PP, and Vox.”
Sicily blamed the popular’ for creating instability with the electoral advances made in Castilla y Leon and the Community of Madrid. She pointed out that although they had caused a change in the cycle, the PP has even changed its leader.
The socialist leader said that “(The elections), They are merely Regional” and warned that Andalusians have “a lot at stake.” He indicated that Vox will be able to show the PP whether they are willing to work with them. He stressed that “they will have to clarify their own”, while noting that Isabel Diaz Ayuso (the president of the Community of Madrid) stated “clearly” during the Andalusian precampaign that they must ally with Macarena Olona.
When Sicilia was asked if they would agree with the PP to stop Vox from entering Junta de Andalucia, reproducing the Castilla y Leon scenario, Sicilia replied that the PSOE will be attending these elections to win the trust of the majority Of Andalusians.
“The agreements that might exist once the election is over, will be seen when they are known,” stated the leader of PSOE. He also said that there are only two options: “of the PP or the extreme right” and “progressive of PSOE with other left-leaning forces.”
