The candidate of the motion of censure of Vox to the presidency of the government, Ramón Tamames, has announced that he will introduce in the final speech that he will deliver on Tuesday in Congress, "news" and "attractive initiatives for many Spaniards". However, he has also confirmed that he will maintain the general lines of the text that was leaked last night and that respond to his intention to provide a "patriotic service" to the country.

For his part, the leader of Vox, Santiago Abascal, has expressed his hope that the filtration of the intervention of Tamames, serves so that "some", in obvious allusion to the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, analyze the text well and reflect on the possibility of changing the meaning of their vote in the motion, that is: Move from abstention to yes.

Abascal has stressed that Tamames "is not from Vox" and that he was offered to be a candidate of the motion because he is a person of "recognized prestige and accredited independence" capable, in his opinion, of representing the desire of many "compatriots" to see "a change of course" and pronounce themselves at the polls already.

Tamames, in his appearance before the press, has assumed that he maintains differences of opinion with the ideology of Vox, but has also assured that he shares the idea that it is necessary to defend the spirit of the Constitution of 78 that, from his point of view, is now undermined by the Government of Pedro Sánchez.

"We cannot waste more time, nor continue to allow what happens in Catalonia, what happens with the Spanish language, nor situations of economic insolidarity as in the Basque Country." For all this, Tamames said, "to avoid enshrining a series of harmful decisions," it is necessary to bet on immediate elections.
