• Direct Motion of censure Vox, live
  • Contradictions From the "Catalan nation" to the use of the flag: the six differences of Tamames with Vox with which Abascal will have to deal

"A nonsense, a circus, a chirigota, a duck, a comedy buffa, a grotesque, an irrelevant parade. What are you all doing here?" With these words Santiago Abascal has opened the debate of the motion of censure that Vox has presented against the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez. The leader of Vox has lashed out against all the groups of the Chamber but especially has been primed with PP and PSOE. The popular has urged them to "recover credibility" and demonstrate it by voting in favor of the motion of censure to overthrow a government of "rottenness". The Socialists, and especially Sánchez, have been accused of lack of "dignity" and of having "deceived" all Spaniards.

Abascal has assured that the headlines and editorials of the newspapers are already written, as well as the messages of the parties that buy from the media. The leader of Vox has complained about the treatment given to a motion of censure that, in his opinion, Sánchez deserves. And he has lamented the "torticeras translations" and the "manipulation" that, he has anticipated, will be made of his words and those pronounced by the presidential candidate, Ramón Tamames, whom he has presented as the man who will ask for the "end of the suicidal legislature".

In line with this reflection, he recalled that Sánchez was the first to degrade the dignity of the Chamber by lying to the Spaniards, repealing the crimes of sedition and reducing that of embezzlement, approving a state of alarm subsequently declared unconstitutional by the TC, supporting laws such as the only yes is yes or Trans or allying with those who attack the monarchy and the Constitution or who show off in the Plenary without have "shaken off the gunpowder of terrorism".

"If this motion is a grotesque, what the hell is yours called?" the Vox leader asked the Hemicycle.

Abascal has also undertaken it against the absent leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, whom he has accused of "wanting to agree permanently with the PSOE". "Vox is not the enemy to beat," he said addressing the bench of the popular. They have also reproached their attitude in Congress even more so when the PP will not support a motion against a government "that plunders the nation."

"The first obligation of a politician is sincerity and it is not possible to approach the PSOE and Vox at the same time," he said. The leader of Vox has urged the PP to "recover credibility and principles" because, he stressed, "what is voted today is whether or not Sánchez deserves a censure and whether or not it is necessary to immediately call elections." "We ask you to vote together today and understand each other tomorrow to offer Spaniards a solid alternative of institutional strength. If they don't want to, all their voters have a right to know."
