The Vox guarantees committee has ratified the precautionary suspension of militancy of the five Balearic deputies who mutinied against the party leadership. The decision closes any possibility of an agreement between the two sectors of the party and will cause the automatic fall of the president of the Parliament, Gabriel Le Senne, one of the two Vox deputies who remains loyal to Santiago Abascal’s team.
The internal crisis of Vox has caused a serious institutional crisis in the Balearic Islands that will almost certainly end with the fall of Le Senne as president. The Parliament is awaiting two reports from the Chamber’s lawyers who must decide whether the expulsion of the president is automatic after having been expelled from the parliamentary group and, if so, what mechanisms are put in place to elect the president. substitute.
The choice of the person who will take over from Le Senne could put the Balearic president, Marga Prohens, in a bind, who will have to decide whether to respect her agreement with Vox and propose as president of the Parliament or one of the two deputies loyal to Abascal, for example. to Le Senne himself, or if he supports one of the deputies who will become turncoats to guarantee himself the five votes he lacks to maintain the absolute majority. There is also the possibility that the PP ends up presenting its own candidate and does not allow a turncoat to preside over the Chamber.
The political tension that the Balearic Islands are experiencing has been reflected in the parliamentary plenary session this Tuesday with which the session period began. Prohens has had harsh words against the Vox deputies, critics and loyalists, whom he has asked to agree to avoid this spectacle. The president has maintained contacts with the leadership of the ultra party, whom she has asked to fix the situation.
Prohens has already told his partners that he intends to comply with the pact that requires him to keep a member of Vox in the Presidency of the Chamber, but at the same time he has asked Vox for reciprocity, that is, to guarantee that he has the votes of the eight deputies he obtained in the last elections.
The PSOE spokesperson in the Balearic Parliament, Iago Negueruela, asked the president this morning to resign and call elections as soon as she can. The representatives of Més have alerted Prohens of the consequences of relying on turncoat deputies to remain in power.
