The Partido Popular has been pressuring Junts and the PNV for months to join their votes with those of the PP and Vox and support in the Congress of Deputies an “instrumental” motion of no confidence, with Alberto Núñez Feijóo as the candidate for the presidency of the Government. The motion of no confidence is a mechanism that the law provides to withdraw confidence from the president, in this case Pedro Sánchez, and yesterday Feijóo specified his offer to the two nationalist parties: the motion would be to accelerate the calling of elections and in the government appointed once he is elected president, Vox would not be included. But nothing guarantees that these two conditions – elections in the short term and a government without Vox – will be met. It is rather an act of faith that is asked of the two parties.

The president of Spain, Pedro Sánchez, has sent a letter to the European Union to request an extraordinary videoconference of the European interior ministers “urgently” following this week’s migration crisis in Ceuta.

The Public Health Commission (CSP) meeting this Monday has agreed to send up to 15,000 doses of MMR vaccine and 10,000 doses of diphtheria-tetanus, chickenpox, and polio vaccines to Ceuta “to respond to the extraordinary prevention needs of potential diseases” in the autonomous city.
