The opposition parties and the Spanish government functions embroiled yesterday in a legal debate in Spain about the possibility that Mariano Rajoy is not subjected to a vote of investiture if you do not get enough support, even though the Constitution so provides. the head of the caretaker government agreed Thursday the order of king Philip VI of forming a new government, but promised to be submitted to the session investiture in the Congress of Deputies. in response to questions asked that no events were kicked out. the vice president of the Executive, Soraya Saenz de Santamaria, said yesterday that it is not the time to claim an investiture debate, but to form the executive who needs Spain .
the Spanish government considers that Article 99.2 of the Constitution does not require Rajoy to submit to the vote in the lower house despite having committed itself to the king to try to form a government. But the main forces of the opposition (Socialist Party Unidos Podemos and the liberal Citizens) require Rajoy to take a step forward considering that the Constitution so provides.
” If Rajoy said that now accepts resignation or not, at the time he did, would have to irrevocably resign as acting president, “said socialist deputy Margarita Robles. “Can not they do anything other than the law,” they said from Citizens. Also from Izquierda Unida, integrated in the coalition Unidos Podemos party, there was criticism. Its leader, Alberto Garzón, said he “can not accept the mandate of the Royal House without going to the inauguration.” On February 12, in the previous process of government formation, in which the socialist Pedro Sanchez accepted the king’s command, the spokesman for the PP in Congress, Rafael Hernando, presented to the House a letter demanding a prompt inauguration.
the PP claimed that the then Congress president, Patxi Lopez, should immediately convene the full investiture but Sanchez had not secured sufficient support, since the Constitution so ordered. This argument was used by the opposition yesterday. Apart from the controversy, the clock will negotiations back on track. Sources of Citizens and the PSOE reported yesterday that Rajoy phoned Rivera and Sanchez and that will meet next week to discuss the investiture.
Spain is experiencing a period of uncertainty policy since December last year, after the election results offered no clear majorities. The failure in the formation of government led the country to the unprecedented repetition of elections, held in June.
