Madrid (EFE).- The Vox deputies will register this Monday at noon in Congress the text of the motion of censure promoted alone by their party against the coalition government of Pedro Sánchez and with the veteran economist Ramón Tamames as candidate for the Presidency.
The motion will reach the Chamber with the exclusive signature of the 52 Vox parliamentarians and almost three months after its leader, Santiago Abascal, announced his intention to censure Sánchez with an independent candidate and with the sole objective of immediately calling general elections.
In the party they want Tamames to “represent millions of Spaniards who, beyond parties, demand an immediate resignation of a government contrary to the interests of the nation.”
They defend his candidacy for being “an independent Spaniard, with a brilliant intellectual career and a symbol of national reconciliation.”
Once accepted by the Congress Table, the president of the Chamber, Meritxell Batet, will decide when the motion is debated in full, the second that Vox presents against Sánchez so far in the legislature, after the one that was debated on 21 and 22 October 2020.
Of the five motions of censure presented so far since the return to democracy, only that of Sánchez against the popular Mariano Rajoy in June 2018 has prospered.
Before that, those of Felipe González (PSOE) against Adolfo Suárez (UCD) in 1980, that of Antonio Hernández Mancha (Alianza Popular) against González in 1987, and that of Pablo Iglesias (UP) against Rajoy in 2017 failed.
