The proximity of the polls conditions the groups before the motion of censure

Alberto Núñez Feijóo believes that in Vox "they are beginning to have doubts" about the opportunity of the motion of censure that will be debated next week in Congress. He said it yesterday in Valencia, under the shadow of the Falla Convento Jerusalem-Mathematician Marzal, one of the most important and that this year talks about defending Human Rights. "There is a party that is very happy with this, which is the PSOE, because its government coalition is broken and this is an opportunity to unite," said the PP leader before pointing out that "and there is another that is beginning to have doubts about what he has done and is Vox”. His hypothesis is convenient, but it's not a bad shot. Because the imminence of the municipal and regional elections has contaminated the strategies to the point of making coordination impossible, not just for the majority of the investiture, but not even for the government partners.

Feijóo, who basically is the first threatened by the motion, raised for the second time as a hostile takeover bid by Vox to the PP, reiterated that "we do not agree with it, we are not going to support it, we will not give a victory to a President of the Government who is defeated”. In other words, Feijóo moves between the increasingly clear evidence that the motion turns Vox into an extravagant party that does very strange things, and the resistance to granting President Pedro Sánchez the voice of good sense in the midst of nonsense and the picturesqueness.

Hours before attending the media amid the hubbub of Fallas, the draft of the text that Ramón Tamames will read in defense of the motion of no confidence had been leaked. Feijóo, asked if he had read it, denied knowing it, but reduced the parliamentary initiative to a mere "Tamames opinion on the situation in Spain." The leader of the PP stated that his party seeks a change of government "not because the deputies of Congress vote for it, as would happen with that Vox motion of censure that in any case has no chance of prospering, "but because that way The electorate says so in the next elections at the end of the year”.

If Feijóo refines the strategy between condescending disdain and the coincidence in the diagnosis – that the coalition government, with the support of the independence movement is a disgrace for the country, which is what all the right-wings maintain – on the other side the strategies do not they are in tune The PSOE's partners in government, the confederal group United We Can, have proposed such a stupendous strategy that it is not even clear that their parliamentary group will adopt it. The Minister of Social Rights and Secretary General of Podemos, Ione Belarra, proposed that in the face of Vox's proverbial machismo, only female voices would respond. There is nothing more eloquent than Esquerra's response: "It's a great idea, but the spokesman Gabriel Rufián will speak for our group." Bildu does not have that debate, because his parliamentary spokesperson, Mertixe Aizpurua, is a woman.

In any case, the various attempts to agree on a joint strategy between the groups that support the legislature – the so-called “legislative bloc” – have been a failure, as have the combined strategies between the Catalan and Basque independence movement. In the end, electoral interests weigh more than the envelope. And the same is true of the government. The PSOE proposed that, after the president, the three vice presidents intervene: Nadia Calviño, Yolanda Díaz and Teresa Rivera. In terms of continuity, Unidas Podemos was not very amused by the idea of. Thinking about the summary of the news, the reflection is another. There are four days left to turn it around.
