Abascal stresses that the objective of the motion is to call elections: "They have discovered that Tamames is not from Vox. Good"

MADRID, 7 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The president of Vox, Santiago Abascal, celebrated this Tuesday that it has already become clear that the economist and former politician Ramón Tamames does not belong to his political party and has insisted that the objective of the motion of censure in which he has been proposed as a candidate is to show that "millions of Spaniards" want the "urgent" call for general elections.

Abascal has made this reflection on his personal Twitter account after the interview with Ramón Tamames in the newspaper 'El País' criticizing many of Vox's postulates. "They have discovered that Ramón Tamames is not from Vox. Well, we have been trying for weeks to make them understand it," he assured.

With this, he has insisted that the motion of no confidence seeks precisely to demonstrate that "millions" of Spaniards, whether or not they are from Vox, want "an alternative and urgent elections."

The parliamentary spokesman for Vox, Iván Espinosa de los Monteros, has also disdained the differences with Tamames on Tuesday, stressing that the important thing is that both, from different positions, have reached the same conclusion, that Pedro Sánchez must be thrown out of the Government and hold general elections at the end of May.

"Of course we have different opinions," he stated in a press conference in Congress. "As we have said many times, Ramón Tamames is not from Vox, but the richness of this motion of censure is to show that very different people agree with us. in the analysis that it is necessary to ensure that the Government leaves as soon as possible".

In his opinion, "any attempt to seek a confrontation" between Tamames and Vox is destined to fail. "There are people who want us to go backwards, but that makes us go forward with more vigor," he warned.

In fact, he has urged the PP to support the motion of no confidence, given that its leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has the same objective, to hold general elections together with the local ones at the end of May. "It is not understood that he does not join the motion - he maintains -. If he wants early elections, he wants to censure the Government. To vote no or abstain is to side with the Government."
