The Vox spokesman in the Congress of Deputies, Iván Espinosa, indicated this Wednesday that "some fringes" must still be closed in order to present the motion of censure against the coalition government of Pedro Sánchez, but he added that "soon" they will give information.
"There are some pending fringes. We will know something soon. There is not much more to say," Espinosa responded in the halls of Congress when asked when the motion will be registered.
The economist Ramón Tamames announced yesterday at a meeting of the Royal Academy of Moral and Political Sciences that he has accepted Vox's offer to lead the motion of no confidence against Sánchez. An extreme that from Vox they still do not officially confirm or when the name of the candidate will be registered and made public.
The leader of the far-right formation, Santiago Abascal, revealed at the beginning of February that he had established contacts with the former leader of the Communist Party. The president of Vox explained that they were talking about the need to make a "deep reflection" on the situation in Spain, which could materialize with a motion of censure in Congress.
After several meetings, the agreement between Vox and Tamames had not yet reached, and then Abascal asked for "a little patience" and assured that there was interest on both sides to reach an agreement. From Vox they have highlighted in recent weeks that they welcome the economist, although they have also clarified that they had other options on the deck.
Ramón Tamames, for his part, confirmed the contacts weeks ago and was publicly inclined to accept the task of leading the motion of censure, although he specified that no decision had been made.
Tamames, an 89-year-old economist, was a member of the Communist Party of Spain during the Franco dictatorship, a formation with which he served as a deputy in Congress during the first years of the recovery of democracy. He was also a representative in the Lower House of the United Left - he was one of the founders - and later moved to the Democratic and Social Center that Adolfo Suárez had created.
