Even the president of the Popular Party (PP), Alberto Núñez Feijóo, recognizes the difficulties when he calls on the partners of Pedro Sánchez’s government to move forward. a possible motion of censure against the president. At the moment, he does not have a sufficient majority to oust Sánchez de la Moncloa. And the “popular” would need Vox to vote in favor and for some of those who supported the nomination to decide to change their support to grant it to Feijóo. Depending on the training that modifies your support, Vox could be taken out of the equation.
With 137 deputies in Congress, the specific mission of the PP would be add 39 supports more to reach the absolute majority and lead a motion of censure against Pedro Sánchez. In this case, the 33 seats that Vox has in the Lower House would be essential. However, it is the extreme right, which, an hour and a half later, had not even heard of the proposal announced by the leader of the “popular”, which receives the first door slam.
Its spokesperson in the Congress of Deputies, Pepa Millán, recognized the error: “I don’t know what they are proposing because I am inquiring about their question.” Once the problem was known, she was quick to assure in the corridors that her training “of course, where the separatists are” will not be.
But without them, the accounts do not add up, since PP and Vox only have 170 deputies. This would not be enough either, if we added the operation Union of the Navarrese People (UPN)in the mixed group, with 171 votes in favor. Of course, as laSexta has learned, there is a scenario in which Vox would vote for it. Only if it is a change of elections.
But, in this scenario, the three formations remain They would need five additional supports to move forward on this possible motion of censure. So this is where the PNV or Junts per Catalunya gains strength. For the moment, and at least during the day on Thursday, they avoided responding to Feijóo’s proposal. A silence that was reflected by the neo-convergent deputy of Congress, Mìriam Nogueras, as shown in the images above these lines.
Lack of responses that Esquerra interprets as clear support to Feijóo who, months ago, they say, had already predicted. “It seems to me that it was in January or February of this year that I told Mr. Feijóo that I would be president by action or omission of Junts,” recalled the spokesperson for the Republicans in the Bjar Chamber, Gabriel Rufian,
With a scenario in which the numbers seem impossible for Feijóo’s men, the PSOE attacks describing the decisions of the “popular” leader as “ridiculous”: “We can’t make a fool of ourselves every day.” This is how a certain Patxi López, apparently totally indifferent to this question, spoke about this possible motion of censure. And the possibility of it moving forward, as Feijóo suggests, is fading.
