A no confidence motion registered by deputies drew a strong reaction from Ximo Puig, the head of the Valencian Generalitat. Puig called the opposition’s push against the People’s Party an effort aimed at ending autonomous governance serious and with consequences for Spain. He spoke during a visit to the Cevisama fair in Valencia, adding to his recent lines about the far right leading the political right and calling that situation a misfortune for the country.

Puig described the unfolding events around the resolution as a force that could drive Spanish society apart, arguing that Vox often aligns with the PP in this dynamic. The commentary comes as polls show a notable rebound in support just three months after regional elections. In the Valencian Community, the political landscape reflects a clear right-left split, and there is broad discussion of a possible deal between the PP and the far right to unseat the Botànic alliance after eight years. Puig warned that a stance marked by division and confrontation does not benefit the public and will be considered by the whole nation.

Ortega Smith’s attack on PP in Alicante: “We will burn the seagull”

This Monday marks the sixth motion of censure against the government in the current legislature, with Vox lending its support. The debate date rests with the chamber president, Meritxell Batet, and is not expected before mid March. Abascal had announced months earlier that his government would introduce a new motion against Sánchez due to a sense of urgency. The plan would require a new moderate candidate who can secure broad backing and call elections soon. Ramón Tames emerged as the chosen nominee after a careful selection process.

Vox’s vice president and congressional spokesperson, Javier Ortega Smith, visited Alicante last Friday. He stated that the identity of the candidate is less important than the timing of elections, which he insisted should occur as soon as possible. Ortega Smith also used sharp language during his stop, signaling that the PP would be targeted in local areas and asserting that a broad sweep against what he described as ideology in gender policy and climate activism would be pursued in the public interest. He added that there would be no hesitation about facing critics who accuse him of intolerance.
