Abascal assures that Tamames would call elections for May 28

If the motion of censure were to go ahead, which seems impossible. Ramón Tamames would call general elections for May 28. That is the commitment of the Vox candidate in the motion that this morning the president of the far-right formation registered in the Congress of Deputies, after reaching an agreement with the former leader of the PCE.

These are the bases of the agreement with Ramón Tamames, of whom the president of Vox highlighted "his experience, his independence, and his commitment to call general elections on May 28. For this reason, the leader of Vox asks the president of Congress, Meritxel Batet, to convene the plenary session in which the motion of no confidence is debated as soon as possible, so that on April 4 the chambers can be dissolved and that the elections can be held together with the municipal and regional elections.

Thus, the position of Ramón Tamames, who spoke whenever he was asked what he was preparing his government program for, would have no value, since it would be a matter of just a few months before he became President of the Government, despite which Tamames has accepted the assignment.

But if with that Vox believes that it could bring the PP closer to supporting the motion, it is wrong, because the popular immediately insisted that the PP "is not going to support this motion under any circumstances", it considers it a "show", of the that the popular ones are not going to participate. The popular spokesman, Borja Semper, at a press conference after the meeting of the steering committee, made it clear that the PP will abstain: "We all know that this scenario is not going to occur, and we are not going to speculate."

The message of the PP wants, at all times, to demonstrate the distance of the popular with the Vox motion, which the popular are convinced that Abascal promoted to make the PP uncomfortable and harm it, to put it in a difficult situation having to side with Sánchez or Vox, but in the opinion of the PP the delay in finalizing the motion, almost three months, has turned the tables, in the opinion of the PP.

The PP is so interested in showing that it is not concerned about the motion that the PP spokesman did not wait for Abascal to hold his press conference on the motion, but instead spoke at the same time, and maintained his position regardless of what the president said. of Vox. And it is that the PP continues to believe the same thing that Alberto Núñez Feijóo said on the first day, that the motion is to "go to the media rescue of the Government and Sánchez."

Borja Semper continues to believe that the motion will mean "a new political circus, a new debate that leads nowhere", and the PP will situate itself in its place: "No complacency with the Government", because the PP "is dedicated to respond to the Spanish".

The PP spokesman also regrets that Vox's motion of no confidence will fuel "instability, anger, noise and tension in Spanish politics." For Semper, the tone that the debate prior to the presentation is acquiring is already being seen, "we are already seeing the tone." In addition, the PP is aware that he will be at the center of the debate. The Government does not fear Vox, but rather benefits its interests, and the Executive will find in the motion a way to attack the PP, as it is already doing.

Oblivious to these reflections of the PP, Santiago Abascal once again offered his hand to the PP to support the motion. "The PP can still reflect" and if in his day he did not want to lead the motion, as the president of Vox himself confessed that he had done, now, with an independent candidate, he asks him to support it. "We told him that we did not care what he said, but that he head the motion," but the PP did not want to, Abascal lamented.

Now, he doesn't care what Ramón Tamames says in the stands either. The president of Vox assures that he is not bothered that the former communist leader is going to make statements in court that do not coincide with those of his party, because the decision was for an independent candidate to present himself.

To defend Vox's proposals, he will speak on the rostrum, in defense of the motion of no confidence. Abascal will blame Sánchez from the yes is yes law, to "the changes in laws to leave the state unprotected or the pardons for the enemies of Spain", in reference to the independentistas. "We are not going to pretend that nothing has happened here, because the government is "guilty of agreeing with the enemies of Spain, of having assaulted the institutions" and, the Vox leader stressed, "we are not going to wait for Sánchez to finish with the dissolution of the state".
