Let Txapote vote for you

It is commonly used against Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and mentions the ETA terrorist Francisco Javier García Gaztelu (nicknamed "Txapote").

[1][2] After the general elections of November 2019 and the start of the 14th legislature, acting Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez (PSOE) required the abstention of the leading political parties of the nationalist left, the Catalan ERC and Basque EH Bildu, in order to form his second government during the January 2020 parliamentary session.

[3] This gesture, among other minor arrangements with EH Bildu, was a central element of criticism by the Spanish political right (mainly the People's Party and Vox).

[11][12][13] De la Cierva was recording what happened with his mobile phone and later published the video, appearing after the broadcast was cut off to launch a series of insults and death threats at the Televisión Española team.

[16] The Vox communication team tried to sign Chema de la Cierva for the electoral campaign of the local and regional elections to be held the following May, but the contract was not finalized.

During the celebration of the Sanfermines in Pamplona at the beginning of July, the live broadcast of Televisión Española was interrupted on numerous occasions with the cry of "Let Txapote vote for you, Sánchez".

Feijóo did not give a clear answer, leading Basque parties to refuse to negotiate potential support for his bid for the prime ministership.

The information was a response to a query made from Jaén due to a campaign on social networks encouraging voters to go to the polling stations wearing T-shirts screen-printed with the slogan alongside the Spanish coat of arms.
