• Motion of censure. Pablo Casado clearly breaks with Vox: "It is part of Sánchez's block because it guarantees his victory"

  • Opinion.Masado puts on the mask of command, by Lucía Méndez

Almost three hundred votes, 85% of the House has voted against the motion of censure presented by Vox against the coalition government of PSOE and United We Can.

A motion that, beyond ratifying

Pedro Sánchez

in

La Moncloa

, has shown that the right is not univocal.

And even more, it has served for the Government to "stop the clock" in its attempt to control the judiciary and reach out to the PP to resume negotiations for the renewal of constitutional bodies.

The "photo of Colón" has been broken: Vox has been placed on one side and PP and Ciudadanos on the other.

And this despite the effort made by Sánchez to include them all, mainly Pablo Casado and Santiago Abascal, in the same bag, that of the extreme right.

Casado rebelled against this attempt to standardize it and opened a gulf between his speech and that of the already failed candidate for the Presidency of the Government.

A speech with the aroma of a radical break between the two.

The debate has served the PP, at least for now, to revalidate the leadership of the opposition by detaching itself from radical and populist positions and this despite the fact that the vote of its 89 deputies has been added in the 'no' to that of the PSOE, United We Can and that of its pro-independence and nationalist allies.

Two days of reproaches and cross insults that, in the end, have been used by the Executive to reverse its plan to reform, via a bill and for its own benefit, the formula for electing the members of the CGPJ.

Sánchez found in Vox's failed motion, the perfect setting to present a reversal claimed within and outside of Spain, as a generous act of rebuilding bridges with the PP.

A debate in which, in addition, the differences between the formations of the right have been clearly appreciated and also clear the ties that unite the Government and its investiture support.

Links that they themselves reflected black on white in a manifesto in which they declared the formation of a sanitary cordon around "fascism" and in which they paired "the extreme right and the extreme right", Abascal and Casado, Casado and Abascal.

A play on words, somewhat mounts so much, that on this occasion the leader of the PP has used to distance himself from the extremes on the political board and occupy the central space.

In fact, Casado has handled it like a boomerang to denounce "the pincer", rather "pincer", handled in unison from a left and a right that he considers radicalized.

"Sánchez and Abascal, Abascal and Sánchez".

The debate, which was presumed empty, has served for this and little else.

Vox has expressed itself at length and "without filters" betting on a discourse of flag, country and monarchy but also with Eurosceptic and 'Trumpist' varnishes that have been decisive in making the difference with the PP clear.

However, what many interpret as the self-cornering of Abascal's, those of Vox hold it up as a sign of their courage when facing everyone and in the first place a government that they consider "illegitimate", "mafioso", "criminal" and " totalitarian".

Within the Executive and among its allies, not all show the same degree of satisfaction despite the fact that the result of the vote consolidates them.

In the ranks of Podemos, ERC or Bildu, those who feel comfortable in the confrontation with a right wing that they claim to be uniformed, raises suspicion that from now on an understanding between socialists and popular may be reborn that reduces their space of influence .

For the PP, on the contrary, the debate has been settled with a "success".

The popular deputies have not hesitated to describe their leader's speech as "historic".

Pablo Casado was risking it in this high-risk event for his leadership and, in the opinion of his own, the first before whom he was examined, he has been successful with flying colors.
