S\u00e1nchez\u2019s Spanish Socialist Workers\u2019 party (PSOE), which has governed Spain alongside the far-left Unidas Podemos alliance for the past four years, suffered a drubbing in last month\u2019s regional and municipal elections, while the PP made huge gains and Vox doubled its share of the vote.The results, which prompted S\u00e1nchez to call a snap general election to be held on 23 July, have given rise to a string of agreements between the PP and Vox to rule the Valencia region and several major Spanish cities in coalitions.<\/p>\n<p>While the polls suggest the PP will win next month\u2019s election, it is likely to fall short of an absolute majority and have to rely on Vox\u2019s support to form a government. S\u00e1nchez, 51, who is hoping the prospect of a PP-Vox government will serve to galvanise leftwing voters and drive a huge turnout, said the parties\u2019 Valencia deal offered a glimpse of what could lie in store for Spain. \u201cA few months ago, a European leader told me the Spanish election is very important because if things swing towards a PP-Vox government, the balances within Europe will be upset,\u201d the prime minister told El Pa\u00eds on Sunday. \u201cThere\u2019s something that\u2019s far more dangerous than Vox, and that\u2019s having a PP that assumes the policies and postures of Vox. And that\u2019s what we\u2019re seeing: a denialism when it comes to social, political and scientific consensus. \u201cThe fact that the [new] Valencian regional government isn\u2019t mentioning climate change is a denialism that\u2019s dangerous for foreign investment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>S\u00e1nchez also pointed to recent, controversial remarks from Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Llanos, Vox\u2019s leader in Valencia, who said \u201cgender-based violence doesn\u2019t exist; violence against women doesn\u2019t exist\u201d. Vox, which dislikes such terms, prefers instead to talk about \u201cintra-family violence\u201d. Llanos\u2019s words were swiftly criticised by the PP leader, Alberto N\u00fa\u00f1ez Feij\u00f3o, who is trying to portray his party as moderates even as it forges coalitions with Vox, which named a former bullfighter as Valencia\u2019s regional culture minister earlier this week. \u201cGender-based violence exists and our society is profoundly shaken every time a woman is murdered,\u201d Feij\u00f3o said on Friday. \u201cThe PP will never take a step backwards in the fight against this scourge. We will not abandon our principles, whatever the cost.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Llanos later attempted to row back on his comments, saying: \u201cI\u2019d like to clarify and I condemn all violence against women, including by men. But I do deny the existence of gender-based violence.\u201d S\u00e1nchez told El Pa\u00eds that denying gender-based violence \u201ccould only be a step backwards\u201d, adding: \u201cThis is what\u2019s at stake on 23 July.\u201d Feij\u00f3o, meanwhile, has accused S\u00e1nchez of calling the election in a desperate bid to cling to power and criticised him for choosing a date when many Spaniards will be on holiday.<\/p>\n<p>If elected, the PP plans to repeal the new Democratic Memory law \u2013 which was intended to bring \u201cjustice, reparation and dignity\u201d to the victims of the Spanish civil war and subsequent dictatorship \u2013 and to scrap recent legislation on trans rights. The party will also re-examine aspects of Spain\u2019s new abortion and euthanasia laws. Following local and regional elections on 28 May, the PP holds absolute majorities in the Madrid region and in the capital\u2019s city council.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2023\/jun\/18\/spain-pm-pedro-sanchez-warns-of-far-right-danger-after-pp-strikes-coalition-deals\">The Guardian<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/spains-pm-warns-of-far-right-danger-after-pp-strikes-coalition-deals\/\">Spain\u2019s PM warns of far-right danger after PP strikes coalition deals<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1077,10452,3290,1102,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-115009","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-danger","tag-farright","tag-pm","tag-spain","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115009","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115009"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115009\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115009"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115009"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115009"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
