The president of Vox, Santiago Abascal, will consider the regional agreements signed with the PP broken if those regional governments do not comply with the agreements signed against illegal immigration.

In an interview in the digital newspaper of the Disenso Foundation, the Vox think tank chaired by Abascal, the leader has stated that his party is not "going to assume that the PP unilaterally intends to distribute illegal immigrants and minors in those places where we are governing in coalition."

The president of Vox has highlighted that his party governs in some regions with a series of territorial leaders of the Popular Party "who have understood that they had to govern with Vox to respect the popular mandate."

"And we ask those leaders to be loyal to the coalition partner and to do everything in their power to avoid promoting illegal immigration. If they don't, we will understand that those agreements are broken," he said bluntly.

Abascal has stressed that this demand is not directed at the national leadership of the PP, chaired by Alberto Núñez Feijóo, "with whom we have no agreement," but is a call to regional leaders.

"A party that governs in coalition with another has to assume that it cannot make decisions of this type alone," he remarked.

After the PP spokesperson in Congress, Miguel Tellado, proposed using the Armed Forces against illegal immigration by sea, Abascal believes that the populars are "not concerned" about illegal immigration but about the "rise of Vox or forces similar to Vox, which respond to the problems of citizens."

The leader of Vox has accused the PP of carrying out a "scam" in immigration matters since they voted "against in Congress against these same proposals from Vox and has also voted against in the Parliament of the Canary Islands."

Vox governs with the PP in Aragon, Castilla y León, Valencian Community, Extremadura and Murcia and hopes that the leaders of those autonomous communities will avoid the distribution of immigrant minors that the Government intends to carry out.
