Vox will present the motion of censure against Pedro Sánchez alone if no other political force wants to finally join the initiative to "stop" from Congress, says the formation, the "coup to the State and the Constitution" of the Government of the PSOE and United We Can with his proposal to reform the Penal Code.

Vox will present the motion of no confidence alone if no other party accepts it

Vox will present the motion of censure against Pedro Sánchez alone if no other political force wants to finally join the initiative to "stop" from Congress, says the formation, the "coup to the State and the Constitution" of the Government of the PSOE and United We Can with his proposal to reform the Penal Code.

Although those of Santiago Abascal continue to seek support for a motion of no confidence with a neutral candidate, without political ties and committed to calling elections immediately, they are determined to do so exclusively, as they did two years ago, if the PP does not share the initiative. In fact, the popular leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, insists on his refusal and alleges that he would only strengthen Sánchez and asks for an electoral advance.

Vox's parliamentary spokesman, Iván Espinosa, responded on Tuesday that "it is not enough to ask for an electoral advance" and stressed that if there is unanimity that democracy is in danger, measures must be taken now. "There is no time to waste," he warned. "We have to move on to what each one of us can do," Espinosa stressed, stressing that Vox will assume its responsibility and will do "everything that is democratically in its power to stop Pedro Sánchez's coup," which which first "goes through inviting other parties to present a motion of censure."

But he has warned that "if things are so serious but they are not capable of doing anything" and "if Vox is left alone once again", he will present it with his "limited" capacity and with a candidate who meets "the greatest characteristics possible".

Espinosa did not want to talk about deadlines, nor did Abascal yesterday, but he did urge "everyone who has an ounce of influence" or "a voice somewhere" to decide "today what they are going to do about it", because "it is necessary that the entire civil society become aware".

For the Vox spokesman, Spain is going through "very bad days", in which the law and common sense do not prevail and "not even Pedro Sánchez governs", but rather "a small number of separatists with malicious intentions".

With a copy of the Constitution in hand, he highlighted article 2 of the Magna Carta, which establishes that national sovereignty resides in the Spanish people from whom all the powers of the State emanate. "In other words, it emanates from the people (...) not from a party that has already carried out two coups," stressed Espinosa, for whom in ERC they are "very happy" with the reform of the Penal Code that will probably be approved this week by the Congress and will mean the repeal of the crime of sedition and the modification of embezzlement.
