There is no water in the swimming pool. Junts completely excludes the possibility of participating in a motion of censure against President Pedro Sánchez with the PP and Vox. “We said it then and we say it again now. “It’s a fantasy”, concluded without hesitation the secretary general of Junts, Jordi Turull, reiterating the position of a party that does not plan to go further with the PP than the specific vote in certain circumstances in Congress , as when, for example, they reversed the deficit path or the bill from the PSOE and the rest of the left parties to modify the law on urban leases and limit seasonal and room rentals.

This being the case, and despite the alliances with the right to specific votes, following the same strategy of the PNV, at Junts they have neither speculated on the possibility of a more solid agreement with the popular.

In this sense, the popular prefers to appeal to the dignity of partners, as Cuca Gamarra did yesterday: “Are you going to continue to support a corrupt government?
