The VOX candidate for the Catalan elections, Ignacio Garrigadefended this Thursday that prefers an electoral repetition to facilitating a Government led by the PSC candidateSalvador Illa.
«I prefer a repeat election and urge Catalans to continue telling them that we have the opportunity to build post-separatist Catalonia, rather than investing separatist parties.“he explained at a press conference in Efe.
He has equated the PSC with separatism and has insisted on the idea “that The policies that Mr. Illa promotes are the same ones that the former president of the Generalitat can promote. and Junts+ candidate, Carles Puigdemont.

garrigue has reproached other parties for not being coherent: “VOX is going to be consistent, as it has always been, that it is not going to support a separatist party such as the Socialist Party and what the Popular Party can do later, because obviously we do not know.”
“What we do know is that More than nine City Councils have agreed with the Socialist Party and with separatist parties such as Junts in Catalonia. VOX does not have any and would never do that,” he added.
Linguistic immersion
According to Garriga, Catalan is a language that they want to protect just like Spanishand has criticized that the rest of the parties call them “anti-Catalan” when they are not.
He has analyzed that Catalan has a “double threat”: instrumentalization and use as a political tool of separatists and Islamization.
«It is separatism that, by promoting illegal immigration, is expelling Catalan from many neighborhoods in Geronafrom the interior of Lérida or even from Barcelona,” he assured.
He explained that VOX will work to that families can “freely choose the language in which they want to educate their children”and has regretted that the PSC has not done so when they have governed.
Sánchez’s reflection
Asked about the “reflection” period of the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, he called it «international embarrassment» and has assured that he should have resigned a long time ago.
Regarding the electoral debate tonight on TVE, he said that aspires for “it to be a debate where we talk about the real problems of Catalans and not the problems of politicians”.
