A large majority of PP and Vox voters are calling for "an agreement" with Junts for a motion of no confidence against Sánchez

Taking advantage of the break between Junts and the PSOE to explore an instrumental motion of censure with the purpose of expelling Pedro Sánchez from the presidency of the Government is a scenario blessed by the voters of PP and Vox.

According to a Sigma Dos poll for EL MUNDO, 64% of the People's Party voters and 77% of those who supported Santiago Abascal 's party are in favor of their parties allying with the party led by Carles Puigdemont with the sole aim of ousting the Socialist leader and installing an independent candidate who would immediately call general elections.

Opposition to studying this agreement with the Catalan pro-independence party is minimal among voters of the parties that make up the national center-right. Only 22% of PP voters reject it, and only 8% of Vox voters do. Extreme ideological differences with the separatists outweigh the desire to give Spaniards a voice in promoting a change in Spain's governance.

Puigdemont avoided taking a stance on his potential support for the no-confidence motion during the conference he gave last Monday in the French city of Perpignan to announce his break with the PSOE. The fugitive suggested that it should be Sánchez who explains how he plans to survive the remaining two years of the legislature without the necessary support to pass a single law or decree in Congress.

But the possibility of a symbolic no-confidence vote with an alternative candidate to Alberto Núñez Feijóo had indeed been suggested days earlier by one of Junts' vice presidents. It was Toni Castellà who argued that, "in theory, it's possible to choose any person in Spain who doesn't aspire to be president of anything, who would offer themselves as if they were a technocrat in such a process to call elections." Although he later clarified that Junts "is not here" at the moment, and insisted that he was only raising this possibility as a "theoretical scenario."

The current strategy of the neo-convergents involves blaming Sánchez for the end of the investiture pact due to his "repeated breaches" and also holding him responsible for clinging to power despite having lost the minimum support to keep the legislature going.

After the decision to break with the PSOE, Jordi Turull insisted that "it is up to the Prime Minister to decide how to continue with his mandate." The Secretary General of Junts stated that, if Sánchez were to face a vote of confidence now, he would not have their support, but he also ruled out the possibility of a motion of no confidence with the PP and Vox parties. "The Socialists have failed many aspects of the agreement, but the PP would have to repeat the course," asserted the number two of the nationalists, who, in the past, had been more emphatic when asked about the issue, dismissing it as "science fiction."

The Sigma Dos poll reflects that almost 40% of Spaniards accept the instrumental no-confidence motion that would lead to elections as the solution the country needs to overcome the paralysis the government will face once it loses its main partner during the first half of the legislature. This scenario is now irreversible, after the end of the investiture agreement was ratified on Thursday by Junts' members in a poll called for that purpose. 87% of the members who participated in the vote supported Puigdemont's decision, understanding that the alliance with the PSOE was proving detrimental to his electoral interests.
