Politics Vox ignores Tamames' criticism of the party and refuses to reverse the motion of no confidence

Vox prefers to look the other way and ignore Ramón Tamames' criticism of the party in an interview in the newspaper El País, where he expresses deep differences on issues that Santiago Abascal's formation makes a flag of. Despite these discrepancies and despite the risk that they will be exposed again during the debate in Congress, Vox remains in line with continuing with him as a candidate and rules out taking a step back on the motion of no confidence.

"Of course we have different opinions and that is what makes the figure of a teacher and a person who does not belong to Vox valuable," defended Iván Espinosa de los Monteros, who has thus chosen to minimize the criticism leveled by Tamames. "The rich thing about this motion of censure is to demonstrate that people from very different ideological fields agree with us in the analysis that this government leave as soon as possible," he has deepened.

In the aforementioned interview, Tamames spoke out against Vox's positions on irregular immigration or climate change, about which he specifically said that its leaders "have not found out yet" and that he will make them understand in his speech. And he also marks distances. "Don't criticize the party, what's it called? Vox, because I know it and I know it has extremes, like other parties. I'm not here to defend Vox. It's the only party that has proposed to me ..." he says in a reply.

Asked at a press conference if Vox still considers that he is a good candidate, Espinosa de los Monteros has replied that although there are people "desiring" a "reversal" in their censure of Pedro Sánchez, the party reaffirms its plan and that "with more vigour" must "move forward."

In his opinion, every day that "contrasts" appear between the position of Vox and that of Tamames, it gives them "the reason" that there are people of different ideologies who share the analysis of the seriousness of the political situation and what to take to the government. For this reason, he explained, if they had wanted a candidate who coincided 100% with Vox, Abascal would have been chosen and not an independent person.

Parallel to the controversy, the Bureau of Congress has qualified Vox's motion of no confidence on Tuesday and has processed it once it has verified that it meets all the requirements. Now only the most important step is missing: setting a date. At first, in the socialist ranks they liked the idea of ​​delaying it, if possible, until April, to hit it at the beginning of the electoral campaign. However, socialist sources valued the option that a date could be set throughout this week. That, a priori, sounds like overtaking it.
