Ramón Tamames accepted Vox’s offer to head his motion of censure, although from the green formation they continue without confirming it. Vox spokesman Espinosa de los Monteros says that “fringes remain” and that nothing is closed yet. Despite this, Tamames has already confirmed it after almost two months thinking about it.
Vox continues without wanting to clear up the doubts. In the event that they do not register the motion before the end of the month, the debate could coincide with the electoral campaign in May.
Ramón Tamames accepts Vox’s offer
The Economist Ramón Tamames announced this Tuesday that he had accepted Vox’s offer to head the motion of censure announced by Vox against the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez. He announced it at a meeting of the Royal Academy of Moral and Political Sciences, although he would not have provided more information on the matter.
Despite Tamames’ confirmation, from Vox the news has not yet been made public.
During the last weeks, both Tamames and the Vox management had been negotiating the terms of the speech of the motion of no confidence and the content of the government program, but the economist had not yet officially accepted his candidacy.
Tamames assured at the beginning of February that he planned to invite the President of the Government, Pedro Sanchez, to have dinner at his house before the parliamentary session. “I plan to invite him to dinner or to eat at home, to meet us before the session. It seems to me that it is normal in civilized people, and the president is, without a doubt,” she said.
At that time He said he did not know Pedro Sánchez, although they have “ever corresponded”at the same time that he said that his “obligation as a citizen” is to try to get to know each other better beforehand.
Ramón Tamames has a PhD in Economics and is 89 years old. He was a deputy for the PCE, co-founder of IU and later a collaborator of Adolfo Suárez in the CDS.
