The

government

does not take Vox's vote of no confidence lightly, which is being debated in

Congress

on Wednesday

.

And although he uses it above all to charge against the PP, who are required to vote no and mark a distance against the "ultra-right", they intend to take advantage of it to defend his management.

"The motion of censure is a constitutional instrument that must be taken seriously", said this morning at a press conference the Secretary for Organization of the PSOE and Minister of Transport,

José Luis Ábalos

.

"Beyond who raised it, for what purpose and its possibilities. All this is secondary," he added.

"It cannot be trivialized and the Government is going to take it with due respect."

With these affirmations Ábalos has fueled the possibility, advanced by El Periódico de Cataluña, that it is the chief executive,

Pedro Sánchez

, who replicates

Santiago Abascal

in the hemicycle.

"The President of the Government will be the first to respect this procedure," he pointed out.

The debate on Vox's motion of censure will begin at 9 a.m. in the Chamber with the presentation by the deputy for Barcelona and the party's candidate in the next Catalan elections,

Ignacio Garriga

.

Abascal will then defend his alternative government program.

And it will be Sánchez who will respond to him on behalf of the Executive.

Something that

Mariano Rajoy

already did

both in the motion of censure of Podemos and in that of the PSOE, which ended up discharging him from the presidency.

Government sources confirm that he will "intervene" during the parliamentary session and also that they give it the utmost importance.

Other sources indicate that "the logical thing" is that it is the president who answers Vox.

It is a "great opportunity", Ábalos said, "to confront alternatives."

"We will be able to see the alternative of the extreme right compared to that of a government committed to democracy, to coexistence and to the unity of the country."

Despite Vox's sole intention is to "make noise" and "raise the tension."

According to the socialist leader, the "absolute loneliness of the extreme right" will be seen, so "it is important that the PP does not give it air."

On the other hand, the PSOE has seen today possible that the conversations with the PP are reactivated to reach an agreement on the renewal of

the General Council of the Judicial Power

(CGPJ) once the motion of censure passes.

"Let's hope that once it is overcome they take note of the unfeasibility of the extremist discourse because the PP is called to have another role"

Ábalos has argued that, as the Prime Minister said from Brussels on Friday, they are "open to negotiation."

He does not see a need for a call between Sánchez and

Pablo Casado,

but contacts can be resumed "at any time."

No "formality" is necessary but the Minister of Justice,

Juan Carlos Campo

, the negotiator on behalf of the Government, and the secretary of this area in the PP,

Enrique López

, agree on it.
