Today, Vox's motion of censure against the Government will begin to be debated at the seat of sovereignty of a nation traumatized by fear of disease and ruin.

This trauma has been aggravated as in no country by the poor quality of its governance, as we have denounced in EL MUNDO and according to the European press, which is wondering if Spain is a failed state.

Spaniards suffer the worst government at the worst time.

His signs of negligence, incompetence, concealment, inhibition, arbitrariness, authoritarianism and falsehood undoubtedly deserve the censure of the Chamber.

Opposing Sánchez's dire management and the authoritarian sectarianism that he sponsors is something that has already been done

to Brussels

, where they have just rejected Sánchez's infamous purpose of judicial counter-reform.

But the opposition not only demands arguments but also efficiency.

Abascal's initiative may be profitable in terms of electoral turnover for his party: for a few days Vox will recover focus and some votes that had returned to the PP in pursuit of the management experience that took Spain out of the González and Zapatero crises.

But sharpening the division of the alternative to sanchismo when it is urgent to work to rebuild it

reveals a more partisan than patriotic motive.

Vox opposes Sánchez as an adversary but also Casado as a competitor.

Certainly, Parliament is not only going to win initiatives but also to parliament, to debate.

But it is important to point out the essential difference between the populist tactic, which achieves pyrrhic rises in the polls on horseback of polarization, and the rational strategy, capable of putting together a proposal that wins an election to sew the wounds of a dejected society.

Vox imitates what Podemos, being also a third force, did to try to

surprise

the PSOE that failed

.

A stronger Rajoy emerged from that motion despite corruption, just as a more cohesive Frankenstein majority will emerge from this motion in the face of the common threat that Vox embodies for its members.

That Sánchez and Iglesias fight to give the reply on the platform indicates the extent to which they take the motion as an oxygen balloon, the opportunity to divert the focus of their catastrophic administration towards the fictitious threat of fascism.

We insist: Sánchez deserves censorship.

But that of Vox does not distance him from Moncloa, but rather

reinforces him in office while the opposition is divided

and more attentive to settling organic competitions than patriotic collaborations.

Although Casado has not wanted to reveal the meaning of the PP vote, it has transpired that it will be negative.

It is possible that abstention is the most coherent option, since it is the only one that reconciles no to sanchismo with no to a populist candidacy of the opposite sign.

But we still haven't heard from Casado.

The politics of frontality does not reveal greater rectitude but less intelligence, and often leads to melancholy.

Congress is the right place for the head of the opposition to

present his alternative and assess his leadership

with eloquence and courage.

The clamp between Sánchez and Vox is uncomfortable for him, but the space that is not defended is given, and it is the moments of confusion and uncertainty that measure the genuine leaders.
