Inés Arrimadas has forcefully but softly rejected Vox's motion of censure.

In the first place, because this initiative has no option to go ahead, which is considered a waste of time when Spain now has other urgent needs.

In addition, the leader of Ciudadanos has highlighted from the platform of Congress that Santiago Abascal defends a model of Spain and Europe that is at the ideological antipodes of what Cs defends.

With a soft tone, Arrimadas has criticized both the inopportunity of the initiative, raised in the middle of the pandemic, and the background of the policies that Vox defends and its "outdated speech."

In addition, he has told Santiago Abascal that with this motion "he strengthens the 'Frankenstein Government'" and "gives arms to those who want to divide our country."

Arrimadas considers that the motion "is a gift" for Pedro Sánchez and his partners because "the confrontation is gasoline for this Government."

"Did Iván Redondo call you to propose the motion?" He ironically addressed Vox.

The liberal leader has begun by highlighting the great distance that exists between the concerns of citizens and the debate these days in Congress.

The day before the debate on the motion, he stressed, 218 Spanish victims of Covid-19 died, adding to the more than 50,000 deaths since the beginning of the pandemic.

"We have normalized the pain and tragedy," he assured, because politicians live "in a bubble that is nothing like the fear and pain of citizens."

The deputy for Barcelona has also gone to the bottom of the ideas defended by Vox, which "have nothing to do" with those of Cs.

It has charged against "the imposition of the family model", against its "strategy of tension", it has disqualified its "anti-European discourse", its "false protectionism" and the absence of an economic project.

For this reason, he said, he cannot vote on a motion that would make Abascal president of the Government.

Arrimadas has reiterated that he deeply respects the four million voters of Vox in November 2019 - in fact, many of them were in April of Albert Rivera-.

But he stressed that many of them voted for Abascal because "he channels outrage and anger very well," although they do not share his country's model.

However, he concluded, "the outrage is not a political project."

The president of Cs has also justified her hand extended to the Government because "we are in a pandemic" and all together "we have to be useful instead of being here with clubs."

"I have a four-month-old son," he snapped at Abascal, "what will I tell him that I did to get out of this crisis? That I shouted very loudly against the government for a year or that I reached out for the distribution of the funds Europeans to be done in the best possible way? "
