The Minister of the Presidency, Justice and Relations with the Courts, Félix Bolaños, announced this Friday that the Government will take to the Constitutional Court everything that is “discriminatory and unlawful” in the pact between PP and Vox in Extremadura. He said this in an interview on La Sexta in which he pointed out that the Government will be the guarantee that this pact cannot be carried out if it discriminates against people.

“We are the guarantee that there will be no cuts in rights in any area, neither in health matters nor in memory matters,” Bolaños emphasized, who expressed being “surprised and concerned” about the agreement between the two conservative parties to govern in Extremadura, because it means that the PP “completely buys all the ideological frameworks of the far right.”
“They have included absolutely inhuman things, such as, for example, not providing public services to migrants in an irregular situation. The Government will be very vigilant in the implementation of this ultra pact in Extremadura and we will take to the courts and, in particular, to the Constitutional Court, everything that is discriminatory and all cuts in rights,” he said.

Bolaños described Vox as “absolutely xenophobic,” but said the problem is that the PP “rolls out the red carpet” for them to govern in Extremadura, “for now”: “I imagine the pacts in Castilla y León and Aragón will follow.” Asked about the statements of the Vice President and Minister of Labor, Yolanda Díaz, who called the party led by Carles Puigdemont “racist and classist,” Bolaños indicated that “all of us, when we do interviews, sometimes the talent of the interviewers makes us end up saying things that, maybe, well, are not the best idea.”
