  • Profile Ramón Tamames: from a PCE militant to a reputable receptive economist to be a candidate for Vox's vote of no confidence

The economist and politician Ramón Tamames has accepted Vox's offer to lead the motion of no confidence that Santiago Abascal's party will present in Congress

against

the government of Pedro Sánchez.

He will officially announce it this Wednesday.

This was confirmed by the former deputy of the

PCE

himself this Tuesday during the session of the

Royal Academy of Moral and Political Sciences

, as confirmed to

EL MUNDO

by two attendees at the meeting.

The name of Ramón Tamames has returned to the forefront of politics this February.

At the beginning of the month it was confirmed that Vox had thought of him to lead the parliamentary offensive against Pedro Sánchez, announced after the successive reforms of the

Penal Code and the reductions in sentences and releases that the

only yes is yes

law has allowed

.

The

89-year-old

economist has recently met Santiago Abascal on various occasions and postponed the announcement of his decision several times.

However, in an interview with this newspaper on February 3, he already threatened to accept the offer: "If I don't lead Vox's motion, I may regret it all my life," he confessed.

To date, the party has kept a low profile on the matter and set the deadline of the end of the month for the presentation of the motion.

This same Monday, the

number three

of the party,

Jorge Buxadé

, returned to throw balls out when asked about the details of the negotiation: "he is closer today than last Monday."

The numbers of the motion, in any case, are still very far from allowing the green light of the House to come on.

The Popular Party, which voted against the previous motion presented by Vox, has shown its intention to abstain on this occasion, regardless of who the candidate is.

As this newspaper has been reporting, Alberto Núñez Feijóo himself personally asked Tamames not to lead Vox's plan.
