María Guardiola announces her intention to run for investiture and calls for an agreement to unblock Extremadura

María Guardiola, the candidate of the Popular Party in Extremadura, announces her intention to seek investiture as president of the Junta, urging for an agreement to move forward in forming a government.

María Guardiola, the acting president of the Junta of Extremadura and candidate from the Popular Party (PP), has declared her intention to present herself for the investiture debate in the regional assembly. Following a meeting with Manuel Naharro, president of the Assembly of Extremadura, Guardiola highlighted that the PP secured 43.2% of the votes in the elections held on December 21, establishing itself as the leading political force, significantly ahead of other parties. Guardiola made it clear that the responsibility now lies with her to form a government, stating that it is her duty to act in accordance with the will expressed by the voters in the elections. She emphasized that the citizens of Extremadura have made their choice, and it is essential to respect it to facilitate governance and progress in the region. However, the situation is complicated by the demands from Vox, which insists on specific conditions for their support in the investiture process. This request raises concerns and discussions around the political agreements needed to overcome the current deadlock, as negotiations will be pivotal in determining the future governance of Extremadura.
