The Congress today hosts a session of heart attack. Until now had never been so adjusted the voting to vest the president of the Government. José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero was elected in 2008 by 11 votes difference; Felipe González, in 1989, by 12. In the first round of voting, on Saturday, Pedro Sanchez earned 166 yes’s compared to 165 noes. That is to say, a single vote of difference, even though I was absent a member of yes that has secured their attendance today. There is No margin for any setbacks, or the absence or error in the hemicycle. That voting is so close it causes the feeling that the majority may break easily, and has unleashed an unprecedented phenomenon: a wave of pressure and even harassment of the deputies of the block of the yes to change their vote.
The socialists rule out the possibility of a tamayazo [change by surprise by the vote of a deputy], but the parties have decided to refrain in order to facilitate the re-election of Sánchez meditabaneste Sunday all the possibilities if one of their members had to move from abstention to yes, in case of any unscheduled absences or changes of vote that could cause the endowment is the intent. “We will be very attentive to the votes”, assured sources of CKD (13 deputies). “Those forces that we’re going to restrain ourselves to not block the endowment, we might have to decide to apply a plan antitamayazo”, notified by the morning of Catalonia Radio Jon Iñarritu, of Bildu (five votes). The voting is by appeal, and by alphabetical order after a draw to decide which letter it starts with. In the case that someone will change their vote in direct, the parties paid to the abstention, which added together 18 mps, they would have leeway to decide in situ change to yes. Everything has been planned in the forces that make up the plural coalition that will imbue it to Sanchez to avoid to prevent unwanted surprises. “The rights we are not going to score a goal”, is an example of one of the members that the Saturday abstained in the first vote of investiture.

In the last few hours, was tapped to Junts per Catalunya (JxCat) and the CUP to try to do not end up voting on the same block in which will be the extreme right. It transpired that these groups may be absent during the vote, but the Carles Puigdemont denies it. Junts says that will be today in the hemicycle.

The PSOE has not left anything without a tie. All of his deputies had planned to sleep this Sunday in Madrid to avoid problems with the transport, because many traveled on Sunday to their places of origin to spend the feast of three Kings with their families. However, despite the tension of the last hours before a vote on the wire, the PSOE did not contemplate that the legislature’s failure. The expected election today of Sanchez from 12.45 will put an end to a phase of interim of the Spanish policy of eight months, from last April, which forced to repeat the election in November. The socialist leader will preside over the first coalition Government since the second Republic, between the PSOE and United we Can, with the support of the PNV and several parties, regionalists, and the abstention of CKD and Bildu. The block does not join PP, Vox, Citizens, JxCat and the CUP.

Guitarte decided to disconnect the Monday by complete escape from the pressures, but his party insist they will not move of itself.
The PP and Cs call from days ago to socialist deputies to break the discipline and vote against their own candidate. The leader of the popular castellanomanchegos, Paco Nunez, released on Sunday a video in social networks in which announces that it will focus today to the gates of the palace of Fuensalida, in Toledo, seat of the regional Government that chairs the socialist Emiliano García-Page, to ask him to oblige the deputies castellanomanchegos of the PSOE to prevent the investiture of Sanchez. “If they vote with CKD, with Bildu, PNV and Can form part of the betrayal of our country”, he noted.
