Opinion.Abascal censors Hillary Clinton, by Jorge Bustos
Vox Santiago Abascal offers to call elections before the end of the year if his motion of censure succeeds
The Government had announced that the motion of censure against Vox was going to be taken seriously but it was difficult to think how much.
Pedro Sánchez delighted this Wednesday in the task of dismantling Santiago Abascal and his "ultra-right" project.
He struggled in a debate that he had won beforehand.
With time in the gallery and preparation.
He gave the impression of knowing the path of the alternative candidate by heart and, if it was not clear enough that the motion will not prosper, the PSOE signed a manifesto together with Unidos Podemos, ERC, PNV, BNG, the CUP, Compromís, EH Bildu , JxCat and Más País "in favor of democracy" and against "hate speech and attitudes."
The text also rejects "any type of support from the extreme right, especially when it affects the governance of the institutions."
Moncloa took out all the artillery to corner Vox, as if Abascal's speech with phrases such as that this Executive is "the worst in the last eighty years", including those of the dictatorship, references to the "Chinese virus" since this country has that "paying" for its spread, or an alleged "invasion of the coasts" by immigrants that will turn Spain and other nations "into multicultural dunghills", will not fully portray his political project.
But it is that the recipient of all this work was not only the "extreme right" of Vox.
The Government and its parliamentary partners did not lose sight of the PP at any time.
Both in the manifesto -the popular govern with the support of Vox in various communities- and in the intervention of the president.
"You have no solution, neither you nor those who support you from the traditional right," he said, referring indirectly to the PP.
He then dedicated the end of his first speech and his reply to Pablo Casado with the public request that he reject the motion.
The PSOE believes that the PP has a 'role': "We don't know what they are going to do"
The silence of the PP on the meaning of his vote keeps the debate open about what he will do today.
Sánchez invited him “to interrupt the drift, to cut with the extreme right.
I ask you to vote "no" and "proclaim that the Spanish right has nothing to do with the extreme right."
"It is not enough to stand in profile, to abstain."
"You are not the beneficiary, but the recipient of this attack," he said.
Moncloa's classic "win-win".
If Casado does it, it will be because he has listened to the president.
If not because it is in the hands of the extreme right.
In the Government they have always been clear that the stress of this motion of censure was suffered by the popular at all levels, their cadres, their militants and their voters.
And they did not intend to waste it.
They have projected it as the opportunity for this party to dissociate itself from Vox and land in the plural majority that at the moment, they point out, better represents Spain.
"Don't get carried away by the authoritarian right."
Because "the candidate will never have enough, they will always ask for more, and if they give in more they will despise them and more will call them a coward."
It is a "mistake" to think that they are going to "tame" Abascal.
So clear was the 'sandwich' to the PP that the chief executive placed the vote against as the beginning of a new relationship between the government and the opposition.
"We can reach agreements based on respect and recognition of the adversary."
"Cross that bridge, vote no, on the other side you will find the majority of the forces of this House."
"If he does, I think we can meet."
The feeling this Wednesday in the PSOE was that this approach was working out well.
"The loneliness of the extreme right is going to be evidenced," party sources indicated, and that "is the positive."
"The paper has the PP that we still do not know what they are going to do," they admit.
If the PP, add the same sources, "had strength, Vox would never have dared."
Married, according to socialists, he is trapped.
