He PSOE is happy with the motion of censure. The Socialists consider that it has served to make it clear that Vox and the PP they are basically the same to extol the work of the Government, to reactivate the leftist electorate and to reunite their coalition with United We Can. Various party leaders and members of the Executive agreed in private on this assessment. On this point the Prime Minister himself, Pedro Sánchez, has been crystal clear.
This Wednesday he has gone up to the rostrum again, making use of the Government’s prerogative to intervene at any time in the debate. He has done it just before the vote to highlight the distorted image of Spain that Vox has tried to convey and defend that “we are not plunged into the apocalypse that describes the right and the extreme right.”
He has barely addressed the candidate and has focused, as he did this Tuesday, on linking Alberto Núñez Feijóo with Santiago Abascal’s party, in a general way and also in a particular way, due to the proximity of the regional and municipal elections of 28 May, in which, according to all the surveys, the PP will need your support to conquer communities in socialist hands. “They need Vox to be able to govern,” Sánchez remarked.
“The real reason that unites the party that proposes, the candidate put forward, and the party that hides its hand with its abstention, what unites all of them is to stop the social advances and progressive policies of this government, retrace the path, return to the discredited policies today that tore apart this country socially and territorially. The only motive is setback. That is the only reason for this destructive motion,” he defended. The PP, he explained, wants to return to the situation of a decade ago, “when corruption was rampant” and Vox, 50 years ago.
In front of them, he maintained, there is a coalition government, capable of taking forward the reforms that Spain needs and of doing so “guaranteeing social peace, with agreements with the parliamentary majority.” “We are bringing to the BOE what those who demonstrated ten years ago against cuts and precariousness were asking for,” he assured.

Before Sánchez Patxi López, he abounded in this message and has even said “thank you & rdquor; the candidate proposed by the extreme right, Ramón Tamames. “Thank you, Mr. Tamames, because the motion has made a few things clear& rdquor ;, López has pointed out, arguing that the initiative to evict Pedro Sánchez from Moncloa has actually been “three”. The first, an instrument to “show the strength and the enormous journey of this Government in the face of nothing & rdquor; of the PP and Vox. The second, a “boomerang & rdquor; for Santiago Abascal’s party, which has been “portrayed for what it is: a extreme right that only proposes a return to the past”. The third, the “true motion”, the exlendakari continued, was addressed to the PP, because Vox, during these two days in the Lower House, has made it clear that popular and ultras “are together: they are the same, they defend the same and their future is the same & rdquor ;.
“Today the PP is going to abstain because its future depends on Vox. But Vox is not just anything -López has concluded-. Vox is the denial of sexist violence, it is the one who seeks to prevent progress in terms of equality, it is the one who yearns for the blackest stage of democracy. And the PP is going to abstain. Ladies and gentlemen of the PP, in the face of such important issues, abstention legitimizes the Vox model, that of the extreme right& rdquor;.
