The Popular Party has “very good reasons and every desire” to move a motion of censure. any Not in it, at the moment, but “Voices.” necessary to win it. However, the strategy on the seventh floor of Genoa has shifted in recent weeks towards tense tactical waiting.
Management team Alberto Nunez Viejo He wants to “measure times” with surgical cold. In the same way they announced it almost a year before it came out Pedro Sanchez in Koldo Committee Senators are now waiting for the specific judicial moment to corner him once and for all.
The People’s Party does not intend to file a motion of censure for his “loss”, at least for now. But it deals with a very specific scenario that it considers appropriate to activate, even though it is “built into the condition.”
This is the moment when the National Court judge said, Ismael MorenoHe decided to transfer his previous missions to… Conduct an official investigation into the irregular financing of the Socialist Workers Party. Last week, Judge Ferraz gave a 10-day period to justify all inflows and outflows of funds since 2017.
Current investigations into these cash disbursements and collections at PSOE headquarters are key to this process. Figo himself has already mentioned this possibility in Parliament, predicting that Sanchez will end up “in prison” because Justice is “already achieved” in the accounts From his party.
This prediction gained strength on Sunday in Debod Temple gathering. In front of thousands of people, Figo referred to the president as “the one” in the corrupt conspiracy. He also noted that he was “the only one” among the “Peugeot passengers” in the Socialist primaries who had not gone to prison.
The last frontier
The judicial context has become unbearable for the government in recent weeks. He was released last week under precautionary measures Santos Cerdan After five months of pretrial detention. A few days later, his predecessor was imprisoned, Jose Luis AbalosAnd his former assistant Koldo Garcia.
Together with Sanchez, they formed the solid core of “Recovery” Secretary-General of the PSOE in 2017. Now, three of the four have fallen.
The People’s Party’s current strategy relies on an open crack in the investment bloc. All of Sanchez’s partners, from He adds until BNFpassing by Chronic kidney disease and together -With one exception Beldo“From whom we do not expect anything.” They set a general red line. “Illegal financing is the last frontier,” they warned.
If “clear evidence or indications” of this crime emerge, they promised to withdraw their support for the government and demand elections. Here is Where Feijóo will enter in time. If Judge Moreno opens this case after receiving information from the Supreme Court, the prosecution He will study the activation of the constitutional mechanism.
The sources of the popular leadership consulted by this newspaper were categorical. Feijóo “would not advance a motion of censure that was doomed to failure.” They don’t want to Give “oxygen” to Sanchez A futile parliamentary victory, as the official spokesman recently explained Esther Muñoz In an interview with this newspaper.
Useful movement
This will be the target of that virtual movement “Always useful” for calling elections Immediately. “We will never maintain an impossible parliamentary composition,” they explained in Genoa. This would only bring “More instability, ungovernability and blackmail” That Feijóo is not willing to suffer.
If the National Court crosses this red line, the scenario will change radically. “They draw this line themselves,” warned Feijóo’s entourage. In this case, the People’s Party will launch this initiative Without having to negotiate anything.
Génova flatly refuses to contact PNV or Junts to enter into dark negotiations. Doing so is implied Loss of political initiative And submit to new demands from independents.
“If Vigo is willing to negotiate with the Nationalists, He could have become president already in 2023“But Sánchez did it by buying votes with impunity,” the same sources state.

The preference for alliances is clear. “Even though they call us everything, We prefer to govern with the support of the Vox Party“They are vulnerable to blackmail from the peripheral,” they say. Figo assumes that he will fight ideologically with Abascal’s party, but he considers it a “constitutional and patriotic” party.
He prefers that battle rather than relying on those “peripheral formations” that… They want to break SpainAccording to Genova, it is time for these formations to lose their veto power in Spanish democracy. The goal is clear: “We will be a strong government or we will not be.”
