The article centers on the escalating conflict between Santiago Abascal of Vox and Alberto Núñez Feijóo of the PP (People's Party) in Spain. The core issue is a disagreement over the government's plan to redistribute unaccompanied immigrant minors.
Vox has issued an ultimatum, threatening to leave regional governments where they are in coalition with the PP if the PP agrees to accept more unaccompanied minors. Abascal accuses Feijóo of deceiving voters.
While the PP initially seemed open to the agreement, many PP-led regions expressed reservations due to concerns about funding, the potential exclusion of Catalonia, and the overall approach to the migrant redistribution. They prefer a more voluntary system.
The threat impacts up to six Spanish autonomous communities. The PP downplayed Vox's threat initially, but the pressure is mounting within the PP. The uncertainty remains high regarding the outcome and how it will affect the migrant redistribution plan.
Feijóo affirmed his regions' commitment to supporting the Canary Islands in alleviating the migrant burden but acknowledged the financial and logistical constraints.
