Idoia Ribas asks to reprimand Le Senne for "violating" her right to vote in Parliament

PalmaThe non-attached deputy Idoia Ribas has filed a formal complaint with the Spokespersons' Board against the President of the Parliament, Gabriel Le Senne, whom she accuses of having “viof­lated her right to personal and non-delegable vote” during the vote on the Law for the acceleration of strategic projects held this Tuesday. In her statement, Ribas maintains that Le Senne decided to group 14 amendments “against her expressly stated will” and calls on the Spokespersons' Board to condemn the President of the Chamber's actions.

The controversy occurred during the debate on the legislative initiative, when non-attached deputies Agustín Buades and Ribas requested that all amendments be voted on separately, a request that was initially accepted. According to Ribas' account, after verifying that all votes ended with the same result, Le Senne proposed to reinstate the block voting system to speed up the parliamentary procedure. The decision provoked protests from former Vox deputies and moments of tension in the hemicycle, to which the deputy for Formentera Llorenç Córdoba also joined.

The deputy accuses the President of the Parliament of having acted “intentionally” and assures that he even confronted her and stated that her insistence on voting each amendment separately constituted a “fraud of law”. She also regrets that he did not grant her the floor when she requested it. In the registered document, Ribas considers that Le Senne's actions represent “a lack of decorum” and “an unprecedented abuse of right” which, she says, infringes upon democratic guarantees and the political rights of deputies. In addition to requesting the condemnation of the President of the Chamber, the deputy warns that she does not rule out taking legal or judicial action for these events.
