• Politics Vox urges the PP to present a motion of no confidence to "evict" Sánchez: "We extend our hand"

Until now, the Popular Party has played the wrong way with the proposal for a motion of censure that Ciudadanos and Vox want it to lead.

After the repeal of the crime of sedition, Inés Arrimadas, first, and Santiago Abascal, later, have ordered Alberto Núñez Feijóo to present his alternative in

Congress

.

To make a more frontal opposition and to delay the reform of

the Penal Code

.

But, as EL MUNDO

has learned

, the national leadership of the PP rejects the measure and believes that Vox and Ciudadanos are only looking to gain space with a proposal that "is useless."

"The motion of no confidence is in May", in the regional and local elections, sources from Genoa point out.

If until now the PP had been insisting that it does not rule out "nothing", nor the motion, it is because it did not want to reveal its letters or overshadow Feijóo's messages with a debate that seems sterile to it.

"Things have to be done to gain power, not to gain space," the same sources make ugly.

If the socialist deputies who are against Sánchez's reform "move", the PP would think about the motion, but today, since they are not going to do it, Feijóo maintains his plans as they were: "Our motion is in May;

if we win, we will also win the generals, “they point out in this regard in Genoa.

As the days go by, the voices in the opposition have grown, demanding that Núñez Feijóo take the initiative to present a motion of censure in response to the elimination by the Government of the crime of sedition.

First it was Ciudadanos, and this Monday Vox.

His president, Santiago Abascal, guaranteed that his group will support any proposal that allows Pedro Sánchez to be "evicted" and urged Feijóo to dialogue to reach a "consensus candidate" among the right-wing formations.

But in the PP they close the door.

"Responsibility" of the PP

At Vox they do not currently handle the option of presenting their own motion of censure, but they do not rule it out either.

The consulted leaders avoid pronouncing and put the focus at this time on the Popular Party.

It is their "responsibility" for being the main force of the opposition, Abascal remarked this Monday, who also recalled the null support that the one registered by Vox had exactly two years ago: 52 votes in favor -the deputies of the formation- and 298 in against.

In Vox they consider that Sánchez continues to "deserve" a motion of censure.

Despite the predisposition of Vox and Ciudadanos, Abascal admitted this Monday that there has been no contact for the moment with the popular ones to address the matter.

But in Vox there is a feeling that the time to present it is now.

In this case, due to the drift to which he is subjecting the institutions in order to establish himself in power, approve the following public accounts and guarantee the support of his separatist partners in Congress.

"A fraud of the law," Abascal summarized at a press conference at the Madrid headquarters of Bambú.

The leader of Vox announced a real offensive made up of several fronts: he asked the Congress Table to "paralyze" the reform of the Penal Code and left an "outstretched hand" to Feijóo in case he decided to present a motion of censure.

He also urged people to take to the streets against the "covert amnesty" that supposes the elimination of the crime of sedition on the 19th in Barcelona and a week later in Madrid and the rest of the provinces.

But the thing did not stop there: if the reform is processed in the Table of the Lower House, Vox will once again go to the Constitutional Court to present an appeal and request precautionary measures against this measure.

And, finally, if the annulment of the crime of sedition is definitively "imposed" on Spanish citizens, Vox will promote a national referendum to consult society for its opinion "on the outlawing of the parties that seek to destroy our unity."

Vox, weeks ago, already raised this type of public consultation to find out what the street thinks of the big issues that national politics handles.
