First hours of the Andalusian election campaign and a strong verbal confrontation has already occurred, starring the leader of Vox, Santiago Abascal, who has directed a serious insult to the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, whom he has called "pimp of whores".
The comment took place during the public act of campaign start in Jaén, where Abascal referred to the head of the Executive in an atmosphere marked by the shouts of some attendees, who came to chant "son of a bitch" against Sánchez. Given those expressions, the leader of Vox responded by recalling that "we all have a mother" and directly pointing to the president as responsible.
In his speech, Abascal insisted: "The fucking boss acts like a pimp", alluding to the expression 'el puto amo' previously used by the Minister of Transport, Óscar Puente. Furthermore, he criticized what he considers a double standard: "These ones have a hot mouth, but then they want the rest of us to restrain ourselves and to speak softly".
The leader also stressed that, in his opinion, the problems of the citizens have a single person responsible: "It doesn't matter where we go, where it is said, where we ask", because "if today Spaniards and workers have a problem it is Pedro Sánchez".
These statements come a few days after another event in Cádiz, in front of the monument to the Constitution of 1812 in the Plaza de España, where Abascal had already used epithets such as "shit" to refer to Sánchez and "rat" towards the Minister of Interior, Grande-Marlaska. His followers then backed those words, justifying them in the alleged political harassment that, according to them, their formation suffers.
In defense of the leader of Vox, the party's spokesperson, José Antonio Fúster, has come out, who this Monday has pointed out: "Santiago Abascal said it exactly in a very specific context in which militants, our sympathizers, were put in danger."
Fúster has added: "So I understand his anger, not only do I understand it, but I share it", and has concluded by stating: "That is not polarizing, putting in danger a person who has gone to listen to Vox, that is undignified".
