First assessment of Vox’s motion of no confidence, headed by Ramón Tamames. Thumb down. There is a broad consensus, in the media, that the motion has been a failure for the benefit of the Government. Tamames’ intervention this morning, in the second session, visibly irritated, possibly accentuates that impression.
The tendency to blame Tamames and his ninety years for the fiasco can be seen in some of the media in the capital of Spain. Since it is evident that the candidate was not in a position to wage a high-intensity dialectical battle for more than twelve hours, since the Spanish Constitution is very demanding with regard to the motion of censure, Tamames is not the only one responsible for the failure .
“We are facing the defeat of a political culture that began to take shape in the eighties and nineties, which we could identify as the culture of the crime syndicate, based on the systematic delegitimization of the adversary, the apology of the enemy, the low blow and he all goes It is the culture of those who for months continued to insist that ETA was the author of the Atocha massacre, despite the evidence to the contrary. It is the political culture of those who currently maintain that Spain has become a totalitarian country. That culture, deeply rooted in our political system, is not going to disappear, but on this occasion it has been defeated”, says Enric Juliana, assistant to the director of La Vanguardia, in a video in which he makes a first assessment of the debate, which ends finalizing, with the following result: 201 votes against, 53 in favor and 91 abstentions.
