Santiago Abascal, leader of VOX, has been participating in rallies in the lead-up to the fast-approaching general elections. He is scheduled to visit 30 cities and appear with local candidates between now and the end of the campaign period, on July 21st.
He has emphasised the need not only to replace the current government but to change its policies, meaning that entering into a coalition with the centre-right PP—without guaranteeing a thorough change in direction for the country—is not acceptable.
This change would include repealing laws like the Democratic History law and legislation to do with transgenderism, abortion, and euthanasia.
In part then, to mobilise people and put pressure on the PP, on July 7th, Abascal is set to present the party’s ‘Decide lo que Importa’ platform.
This includes the España Decide, plan, consisting of several proposed referenda on a host of pressing issues that VOX wants to put directly to the citizenry.
Specifically, these concern six areas in which, according to Abascal, the debate was stolen by a political class unwilling to conform to the nation’s majority, namely: illegal immigration; decreasing purchasing power; rising prices of basic supplies; rising housing prices; education; and energy sovereignty.
