The PP assumes there will be no agreements with Vox until the Castilla y León elections pass

The Popular Party (PP) acknowledges that no agreements with Vox will be made until after the Castilla and León elections on March 15.

The Popular Party (PP) has recognized that it will not be able to reach any agreements with Vox until after the upcoming elections in Castilla y León, scheduled for March 15. This statement reflects the party's strategic decision to avoid entanglements with the far-right party, especially in light of a failed investiture of María Guardiola, planned for March 3. The PP leadership indicates that the situation in Aragón, where Jorge Azcón is also awaiting support from Vox, will similarly face delays and challenges until the Castilla y León elections are concluded.

Génova, the headquarters of the PP, advises members, particularly María Guardiola, to de-escalate interactions with Vox and refrain from engaging in provocations from the far-right party. This strategy aims to maintain party unity and focus on securing votes in their respective regions. After the Castilla y León elections, the PP is optimistic that there will be a window of opportunity to negotiate with Vox before the May elections, enhancing the prospect of forming a coalition.

The implications of this decision reflect a broader trend in Spanish politics, where the PP is carefully navigating its relationship with Vox, balancing the need for alliances with the far-right while avoiding potential electoral backlash. The outcome of the Castilla y León elections could significantly influence future negotiations and the political landscape in Spain, particularly regarding the center-right's dynamics and its approach toward working with more extreme factions within the political spectrum.
