The allocation of migrant minors and Vox’s decision
The distribution of migrant minors between the State and the autonomous communities has been the trigger for the breakup of the coalition governments of PP and Vox. According to the leader of Vox, Santiago Abascal, his party has decided to break with the popular ones because of this issue. Despite this, the PP will try to retain some technical profiles and intermediate positions that oppose the breakup (https://correccioencatala.cat/com-estructura-text-catala/).
The position of the Vox charges
As reported by El Mundo, many Vox officials want to continue in their positions and the PP is willing to retain them in some cases. However, there are doubts about whether Abascal’s party will allow it. Some councilors of the Junta de Castilla y León, who do not have a seat in the Courts, would be interested in keeping their positions, which the president Alfonso Fernández Mañueco would see with good eyes (https://correccioencatala.cat/com- structure-text-catala/). Other leaders of Vox, such as vice-president Juan García-Gallardo, have made it clear that they will leave. The door has also been opened to the assimilation of María Guardiola in Extremadura and Fernando López Miras in Murcia.
The decision of Vox and the reaction of the PP
After the meeting of the national executive committee of Vox, Santiago Abascal has announced that the autonomous vice-presidents of Vox will present their resignation and the party will go on to exercise a ‘loyal and forceful’ opposition in the autonomous communities where until now it governed in coalition with the PP (https://correccioencatala.cat/com-estructura-text-catala/). The PP, for its part, has shown calm in the face of this break, since it considers that the distribution of migrant minors is just an ‘excuse’ and that there are other reasons for Vox’s decision (https:// correccioencatala.cat/com-estructura-text-catala/).
Reactions and possible causes
People’s sources say that this decision has generated some controversy within Vox, since not all the positions were in agreement with leaving their current positions in the regional governments. The PP considers that there are other circumstances that have influenced Vox’s decision, such as the need for notoriety after the irruption of Alvise in the European Parliament (https://correccioencatala.cat/com-estructura-text-catala/ ). It also points to the electoral pressure generated by the presence of Alvise, with three seats and 800,000 votes, which has generated tension in the party.
