The Popular Party has confirmed this Thursday that it will appeal to the Constitutional Court the decision of the Congress Board, with a majority of PSOE and Sumar, to prevent the PP and Junts amendments from being debated and voted this Thursday on a popular motion to ask the President of the Government to dissolve the Cortes and call early elections. The Board alleged in its veto that the calling of elections is the prerogative of the head of the Executive and that the initiative was assimilated to a question of confidence. In addition to the appeal to the guarantee body, the popular party will take the same vote to the Senate, where they have an absolute majority, next Wednesday. The PP spokesperson, Borja Sémper, has assured that they will use “all avenues to denounce this outrage.” “What has Congress become? It is blocked and the citizens’ problems are not talked about. Meanwhile, we are witnessing a political agenda set by the courts and we cannot even debate about dissolving the Cortes and calling elections,” Sémper criticized in an interview on Telecinco.
