The 'number two' of Nuevas Generaciones of the PP resigns and asks for votes for Vox
Carlo Giacomo Angrisano, the general secretary of the Nuevas Generaciones of the PP, has resigned and called for votes for Vox, criticizing the PP's departure from core values.
Carlo Giacomo Angrisano, who served as the general secretary of Nuevas Generaciones (NNGG) of the Popular Party (PP) in Spain, has announced his resignation from the party and requested votes for Vox, a right-wing political party. In a statement, Angrisano expressed his dissatisfaction with the PP, stating that it has abandoned the values that attracted many of its members, including themes of national identity and freedom. He recalled joining the party in 2012 driven by a passion for Spain amidst concerns about separatism and political fragmentation.
In his resignation notice, Angrisano articulated a broader critique of the political climate, arguing that parties begin to falter not just by losing elections but by failing to articulate and defend their fundamental principles. He lamented that the PP seems more focused on winning votes than on upholding what he considers to be the correct stance on critical issues, suggesting that this lack of conviction could lead to significant losses for the party. His call for a shift of support to Vox underscores his profound discontent with the direction the PP has taken.
Angrisano's resignation and endorsement of Vox reflect the ongoing realignment within the Spanish right, where the emergence of parties like Vox has drawn support from disaffected members of traditional parties like the PP. This situation highlights potential challenges for the PP as it navigates its identity and electoral strategy in a rapidly changing political landscape in Spain.
