Ramon Tamamesthe Vox candidate for the motion of no confidence against the Government of Pedro Sanchez, has asked citizens by letter to send him proposals and suggestions that they consider “interesting” in order to incorporate them into the speech he will deliver in Congress. The date of the debate on this motion is still unknown. “Imagination is needed to improve Spain,” he defends.
In this letter, Tamames emphasizes that “any ideas of personal experiences and interesting projects will be welcome” in view of the arguments that he will present to try to censor the Sánchez Executive.
«I think imagination is needed to have a more enterprising country, less dependent on subsidies and gifts from power, etc. New ideas is what is needed and criticism of the methods followed at this time in so many manifestations of the constitutional order, attacked and distorted through various channels, “says the economist in the letter to which the agency has had access efe.
Last Tuesday, the Congress Table admitted Vox’s motion for processing by verifying that it meets all the requirements. The president of the Lower House, the socialist Meritxell Batet, is now in charge of signing the date of the debate and voting. These data are still unknown.
Ramón Tamames will participate next Tuesday in a round table organized by the Royal Academy of Moral and Economic Sciences in memory of Enrique Fuentes Quintana, who was a minister in the Government of Adolfo Suárez and one of the architects of the Moncloa Pacts, who died in 2007 .
