Rejected the call for censure from Spain to overthrow the Government
In Spain, only 52 deputies from the far-right party Vox and one deputy from the Mixed Group supported the question of censure presented to replace the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, the former leader of the Communist Party and economist, Ramón Tames, 89, as the prime minister temporarily and lead the country into an early general election.
While 345 of the 349 deputies voted on the motion of no confidence, which began yesterday and ended this morning in parliament, the distribution of votes was 201 “no”, 91 “abstention” and 53 “yes”.
The main right-wing opposition Popular Party (PP), which was shown in polls as the political party that will achieve the parliamentary majority that will be able to form a government together with Vox in the general elections to be held in Spain next December, abstained. Although he disagreed with the extreme right on many issues, Tümes, who was proposed as a candidate for prime minister by Vox for being an “independent, respectable and wise person”, criticized the minority coalition government in his speeches during the issue. of censorship on cooperation with the Catalan and Basque separatist political parties, which received foreign support.
Tames argued that there was a risk that Spain would find itself in a worse situation and fragmentation than in 1936 before the Civil War and the era of the dictator Franco. The president of the Government Sánchez, for his part, said that Tümes, a former deputy and communist leader, made the “biggest mistake” of his political career by agreeing to be the candidate for president of the Government on the issue of censorship, and that the far Right Vox “whitewashed hate politics”.
As expected, the censorship question was rejected in parliament and criticized by government partners, Basque and Catalan political parties with expressions such as “comedy, circus, theater, buffoonery, ridicule, nonsense.”
Municipal elections are scheduled to be held in Spain on May 28 and general elections in December. (AA)
