Nolasco said he was approaching the election with “hope,” although he also urged caution. “We must not count our chickens before they hatch,” Nolasco warned, insisting that, in Vox’s view, “the worst of Sánchez is yet to come.” He therefore encouraged Spaniards to use the opportunity to vote to bring about a change of government and “restore hope to Spain.”
Regarding his role in these national elections, Nolasco did not rule out any scenario, stressing that “I’ll be wherever my party tells me to be.” The minister also highlighted that he is currently focused on his responsibilities within the Aragonese government. “I was a councillor in 2019, now I’m here and I don’t know where I’ll be tomorrow,” he said.
HE RULES OUT THE ELECTIONS AFFECTING ARAGON’S ROADMAP
Aragon’s vice president also ruled out the general election altering the regional government’s roadmap as it works on the next autonomous community budgets. “National politics goes one way, and regional politics goes another,” he argued. Nolasco said the PP and Vox continue to use the government pact signed in Aragon as their point of reference and noted that the regional executive will continue working on a budget that, he reiterated, aims to be “the most ambitious in Aragon’s history.”
Pedro Sánchez announced on Monday the dissolution of Parliament and the calling of an early general election for November 29, seven months before the legislature was scheduled to end. The decision came after Congress rejected two government decrees related to housing.
