The president of the Congress of Deputies, Francina Armengol, has announced that the investiture debate of the president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, will be held on September 27 and 27. Armengol thus postpones the investiture and gives the candidate for the presidency of the Government a term to start the pertinent negotiations to obtain the four votes that he would need to achieve an absolute majority. In addition, the highest representative of the Lower House thus avoids the risk of voting at Christmas in the event that elections are repeated.
King Felipe VI entrusted this Tuesday to the president of the PP and winner of the elections on July 23 the formation of a new Government in Spain for the next Legislature, which he arrives with the guarantee of already having a total of 172 seats, to only four of the absolute majority, after achieving the support of Vox, UPN and the Canary Islands Coalition. About the negotiations, the different leaders of the PP have spoken in various interviews both on radio and on television. Thus, both the general secretary of the ‘popular’ formation, Cuca Gamarra, and the party’s institutional vice-secretary, Esteban González Pons, have opted to speak with all political formations, including the pro-independence ones, for the investiture. The only red line will be EH Bildu.
