The numbers are still not working out for Alberto Núñez Feijóo. The general secretary of Junts, Jordi Turull, assured this Friday that he has refused to support a possible motion of censure by the PP and Vox against the president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, considering this operation “a fantasy.”
The opposition leader has opened the door to presenting a motion of censure by making himself available to Pedro Sánchez’s partners to “open a new stage”, after the commissioner Víctor de Aldama has launched accusations of corruption against the Executive and the PSOE branded as “false” by the head of the Government.
In statements to the press at the Junts headquarters, Turull reiterated that it is not a question of Carles Puigdemont’s party “withdrawing or not” its support for Sánchez, but rather that its collaboration with the Government must go “piece by piece.” and vote by vote. “A motion of censure with the PP and Vox is a fantasy,” he added.
The arithmetic of Congress, as occurred after the July 2023 elections, prevents the success of a motion of censure of the PP due to the veto of Vox by the Catalan and Basque nationalist parties, whose combination with the extreme right is necessary to May Feijóo’s initiative succeed.
In short, Sánchez has to sweat each vote and balance left and right to obtain parliamentary victories, but there is no viable majority that can be articulated against him in a motion of censure.
Feijóo’s proposal has also generated reactions in the rest of the parties that negotiate with the Government. ERC spokesperson, Gabriel Rufián, recalled that he told Feijóo that he would be president “by action or omission by Junts.”
“I think Vox is an actor that will be difficult to whitewash in Catalonia, but Junts has been voting with the PP and Vox for months now,” Rufián added.
In this sense, the leader of Vox, Santiago Abascal, has extended his hand to the PP to “build an alternative” and has shown himself willing “to do whatever is necessary”, but has pointed out that false hopes should not be generated or confuse people. citizens on a motion of censure to evict Sánchez from Moncloa.
Nor, he pointed out, about the possibility that the separatist parties could support it, because “they enjoy a weak government,” Abascal said.
For his part, the PP spokesperson, Borja Sémper, has stressed that his leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, is willing to “speak” in order to put together a motion of censure because, in the face of cases of corruption, “beyond arithmetic is ethics.”
“If there are other political parties that can no longer endure this daily embarrassment, we are willing to talk and offer the Spanish people an alternative; “This is what we have been saying, what Feijóo has said for a long time, what we all say without deceiving ourselves about what the arithmetic situation is,” he stated.
