The president of Vox, Santiago Abascal, has denounced this Monday a "manifest illegality" before the intention of the Permanent Deputation of Congress to submit again to a vote the housing decrees that were repealed in the Plenary of last week, understanding that it is a way to "twist" the decision adopted by the majority of the hemicycle.
The Executive intends to push forward again the two royal decree laws on housing in the Council of Ministers this Tuesday, after they were rejected last Friday with the votes of PP, Vox, and Junts. The fall of these norms has led to the call for early elections.
Given that the electoral call is formalized this Monday and, consequently, the Cortes will be dissolved, the validation of the decrees must be carried out before the Permanent Deputation of Congress, an organ that acts as a reduced Plenary and in which the Government does have sufficient majority.
Sánchez, according to Abascal, willing to move forward
In an interview on the program "Espejo Público" of Antena 3, collected by Europa Press, Abascal has reiterated that it is a "manifest illegality" for the Permanent Deputation to pronounce again on these texts. "I believe that we are facing a manifest illegality when Congress, in the most representative way it can be, gathered in Plenary, votes against the decrees, one cannot gather a small commission, a small part of Congress, to twist that decision," he explained.
Even so, he maintains that the head of the Executive, Pedro Sánchez, "is willing to commit" that illegality and has predicted that "surely" he will have the support of the Constitutional Court, "which has long been assaulted like many other institutions," he has pointed out.
