Illa criticizes Feijóo and Abascal for "seeking votes" in Catalonia and predicts they will lose.

Catalan President and PSC First Secretary Salvador Illa has sharply criticized recent visits to Catalonia by opposition leaders Alberto Núñez Feijóo of the PP and Santiago Abascal of Vox. Speaking during the political week, Illa accused both national leaders of traveling to the region exclusively to pursue political votes.

Directly addressing the two leaders, Illa told them to "get out of the way" ("Quitaos de en medio"), contrasting their current electoral focus with an alleged absence during other critical times, as indicated by the truncated source text.
