Congress fails Marlaska again thanks to Junts and Podemos. The key to the disapproval in Congress has been in the position of some parliamentary partners of the Government.
The disapproval of a minister has no practical effects on his continuity in office, but it does have a relevant symbolic character, since it confirms that he has lost the confidence of the Chamber. However, the dismissal of a Minister is an exclusive prerogative of the President of the government. Therefore, Pedro Sánchez is the only one who can relieve him of his portfolio.
