Following the appointment of Vox deputy Llanos Massó as head of the Cortes, Morant criticized the PP for ceding the presidency of Les Corts to figures she described as deniers and anti-abortionists. She noted that the appearance of Feijóo’s team raised concerns about the trajectory of the coalition and its potential impact on established rights.
