Parliament

Vox will only vote on the PP decree if it accepts its proposal to implement Castilian for vehicular traffic.

The far right refuses to present an alternative text, as demanded by the Popular Party.

PalmThe latest decree-law that the government is submitting to Parliament this Tuesday has once again hit a wall with Vox. Manuela Cañadas's party has conditioned its support for the law on the PP's acceptance of its proposal to reform the education law. The PP had flatly rejected this proposal to introduce the vehicular use of Spanish into the law, considering that it "undermines the Minimum Decree." "This must be admitted for processing," Cañadas said in Parliament: "They must introduce the amendments they want, but they must take a position." She also ruled out the possibility of presenting an alternative text, as requested by the PP.

If this law is not admitted for processing, she warned, the decree-law to accelerate projects will not go ahead. The PP needs the support of the far right for this law, because the left is radically opposed.

PP spokesperson Sebastià Sagreras insisted that they will not admit this bill and urged Vox to present an alternative text. "Until the last minute, we rolled up our sleeves to negotiate with the aim of having the decree law validated tomorrow," he said. In this regard, he insisted in Cañadas that, "if they were referring to the bill they presented 15 days ago, it will not be admitted, but if Vox presents a bill to introduce vehicular use of the official languages, the PP would support it."
