Politics Sánchez and Iglesias will intervene to respond to Vox in the motion of censure
Congreso.Vox assures that there are deputies "in almost all the parties" willing to support the motion of censure
PP. Married despises Vox's motion: "It doesn't matter to anyone and it's worth nothing"
Pablo Casado does not want to talk about Vox's motion of censure because he considers it a "minor issue."
That is why he has not announced what will be the meaning of the PP vote in the parliamentary stake that will begin this Wednesday.
But the opposite has happened: this indecision has led to even more talk about the
popular
in the hours before the plenary session, since it is the only great party that has not yet decided.
At least, in public, because in Genoa they assure that the position and
It has been outlined for several days, but it will be Married who has the last word: abstention or "no".
And that he wants to wait until this Wednesday to communicate it to his deputies, first, and make it public, later. The unknown that is cleared up is who will go up to the speaker's rostrum to refute from the PP to
Santiago Abascal
.
Sources of all solvency consulted by this newspaper assure that he will be married.
But through the official channels of Genoa they flatly refuse to confirm that decision.
Others simply want it and ask the president: "It has to be him." The secrecy is total: nothing is considered closed or definitive.
Not even after it became known that both the Prime Minister,
Pedro Sanchez
, as the vice president
Pablo Iglesias
will use their governmental prerogative
to answer
to Abascal without a time limit (parliamentary groups have a maximum of 30 minutes to confront the leader of the third party in the Chamber).
The 'no' to abstention
The PP Steering Committee did not talk about the motion of censure on Monday.
"Today, justice only," acknowledged the sources consulted.
But the truth is that the vast majority of the leaders of the dome
popular
prefer to vote "no", as
advancement
this newspaper last Thursday. "There is no debate here. The entire leadership is more in the 'no' than in the abstention," reflected a leader then.
Not in vain, in Genoa they believe that this is a motion against the PP, not against the Government. But Casado denied, in a press conference, that the PP is not "clear" about its position.
They are not "defoliating the margarita", he said, but they have had it clear for "months", specifically since 10 minutes after Vox announced it last
July
.
"We know it and we will make it known where it corresponds and when it corresponds," he insisted, although some regional leaders have assured that he has consulted them on the meaning of the vote.
"He always consults each decision a lot, but it does not mean that he is not clear about it," judges a leader. The PP does not support Abascal's motion for the simple reason that "the numbers do not give" and, therefore, "it only works to reinforce Pedro Sánchez ", and even to facilitate the grouping of his possible budgetary partners.
In this way, the party led by Santiago Abascal only has, today, the vote of its 52 deputies, far from the 176 it would need for the motion to succeed.
"We are with the real Spain"
Asked about this this Monday, Married him
downplayed
to the political initiative of Vox: "I am not going to spend a minute on such minor issues."
"Our position was fixed weeks ago," he said, despite the fact that the PP has not yet officially decided whether to abstain or vote no.
"We have not discussed the motion of censure in the steering committee," he confirmed.
"It is an issue that I do not care about at all." Later, he insisted that he does not want to comment on this parliamentary situation: "I have already said everything I had to say."
"We are with the real Spain. I am not going to spend a minute on issues that do not matter to anyone and that are worth nothing," stressed the president of the Popular Party. In his opinion, dedicating ourselves to the motion "means not dedicating ourselves to to fight for independence, education or health ".
Asked about the defense of "not voting no" made by the former popular spokesperson in the Lower House,
Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo
, Casado sidestepped the debate on whether it is a challenge to his leadership, and assured that "there is no place for freedom of vote" on this occasion, since that parliamentary provision only operates "on moral or conscientious issues", according to the Statutes of the PP. That is to say, that all the deputies must vote what the leadership mandates. Married did want to list the things his party has focused on since Abascal announced that he would present a motion to try to expel Pedro Sánchez from La Moncloa For example, he said that the PP has won "resources" against government decisions to tackle the pandemic of
coronavirus
, has "led" the "rebellion of the mayors" against the Ministry of Finance for the use of the economic remnants of the municipalities, has raised an initiative before the "educational counter-reform" of the Government, another against the
squatting
illegal, an alternative shock plan to end the "social ravages" of the pandemic and, above all, a bill to depoliticize the Judiciary. The latter was the real reason for his press conference, but not having decanted over the motion, the usual focus shifted there without remedy.
