In the middle of an internal debate within the PP on whether or not Pablo Casado should be politically rehabilitated a year after his fall, the former leader of the conservative party has found an interested defender in the front rows. The PSOE now highlights its "gallantry" for voting against the first motion of no confidence that Vox presented in 2020 against Pedro Sánchez as an attack strategy against his successor at the head of the Genoa leadership.
Alberto Núñez Feijóo has already announced that his group is going to abstain in the second attempt to form Santiago Abascal to evict the president of the Government of La Moncloa, which will be formally registered this Monday in the Congress of Deputies. On this occasion it will be an "independent" and former PCE militant, the economist Ramón Tamames, 89, who is running to assume the leadership of the country without any real chance of achieving it.
The interpretation that is made in the PSOE of the position adopted by the leader of the opposition is that "he is very good at this policy of throwing the stone and hiding his hand." "He did it with the Government of Castilla y León: he was the main supporter to achieve the first government of the right and the ultra-right, but then he escaped from photography. And now he does it with this motion of censure that will not have the gallantry to vote against as his predecessor did," said the party's spokeswoman, Pilar Alegría, on Sunday.
Along the same lines, the Minister of the Presidency and also a member of the Socialist Executive, Félix Bolaños, stressed that "now in this motion of no confidence the PP has regressed" by choosing to abstain: "Mr. Feijóo is getting closer to the extreme right, doing little handy in the preparatory acts of the motion of no confidence both with the candidate Tamames and with that meeting he had with Abascal and that we had to find out later".
The argument of the PSOE includes the acceptance that this proposal be presented and debated in Congress to try to force the resignation of the President of the Government, since they assume that it is "a constitutional tool", but they demand that it be used with "the maximum rigor and seriousness". In this sense, they consider that, "unfortunately", it is going to be seen how "once again the right and the ultra-right tamper with it to turn the institutions into something for their own private use and generate more noise".
In line with this comparison, Bolaños lamented this Sunday that the PP is "every day more condescending" with Abascal's party and wondered if he really does not care if, for example, "Spain is a full democracy" or that "they outlaw parties because they don't think like Vox". reports Efe. In any case, from Ferraz they point to the "great opportunity" that the motion of no confidence will mean so that citizens can test "the two possible models of governance".
For his part, Abascal insisted on public pressure on the popular to support Tamames' candidacy for the Presidency, arguing that they have a "duty" to "portray" the "worst Government of Spain in many, many decades." In an interview on esRadio, he regretted that at the Genoa headquarters they have the theory that this debate "strengthens" the Executive because Sánchez "is going to have the support of those who gave him the investiture", which he does not share.
In addition, the leader of Vox criticized that his party's motion of no confidence has been "ridiculed" for not having the necessary support, which, he admitted, "would be desirable and important." However, he insisted that it will fulfill the function of showing that, "in addition to ruining us", La Moncloa "throws itself into the arms of communists and coup separatists, and is dedicated to releasing corrupt, rapists and pedophiles", reports Europa Press.
