Santander (EFE) become the first female head of the Cantabrian Executive in its history.
The Board of Spokesmen of the regional Parliament has agreed on Monday that the investiture plenary session will be held at the end of this week.
The president of the Chamber, María José González Revuelta (PP) has proposed that Sáenz de Buruaga be the one to take over from Miguel Ángel Revilla at the head of the regional government.
González Revuelta explained that, after meeting with the various parliamentary spokespersons, the PP candidate “is in a position to be sworn in as president.”
The PP obtained 15 deputies in the May 28 elections, followed by PRC and PSOE, both with eight, and by Vox, which has four.
The session will begin on Thursday at 12:00 with the intervention of the candidate and will continue on Friday at 10:00 with the words of the spokespersons.
Then the candidacy of Sáenz de Buruaga will be voted on, although, according to the voting intention advanced by each group, it does not seem that the popular one will achieve the necessary absolute majority in the first round.
What will each group do?
In principle, the PRC will abstain, the PSOE will vote against and Vox, which has not yet decided its position, has anticipated that it will not support the PP candidate.
“Foreseeably, if there are no changes in the plans of the different groups, we would have to go to Monday and in the second vote she would be elected president,” González Revuelta stressed.
On Monday, a single session would thus be held, in which the candidate for the Presidency can intervene for ten minutes and the parliamentary groups five, before a new vote in which she would need a simple majority that in principle is assured.
