Moreno: “The greatest threat to the absolute majority is abstention”
Neither PSOE nor Vox, the biggest threat to not revalidating its absolute majority on May 17 is abstention. This was stated by the president of the Andalusian Regional Government, Juan Manuel Moreno, during an interview with the Cope network. The mobilization of his electorate is what most worries the popular leader, who has once again appealed to his new mantra: “Either an absolute majority or the mess that Sánchez and my colleagues are in for not having stability,” he said about the balance of the Government of Spain with his partners and the problems of being invested by his party colleagues in Extremadura, Aragón and Castilla Léon.
Moreno has downplayed the rise of Vox and has not considered that the socialists are on the rise, after the results in Castilla y León. “I don’t see it in the polls or on the street.” The popular leader has insisted on presenting his PSOE-A opponent, María Jesús Montero, as a continuation of Sánchez and the previous socialist governments in the community, in which she participated as a counselor. He has maintained that he believes that the date of the elections “has caught them by surprise,” because perhaps they had a few more weeks to prepare the campaign. “I see them as clueless,” he said about the socialists. He has barely had any comments for the extreme right.
