Sanchez faces the first day of a tense investiture debate
Written by on 15 November 2023
Pedro Sánchez faced his fourth investiture debate. This time, the debate is expected to be particularly tense and confrontational due to the controversial amnesty law. If successful, Sánchez will become the first president of Spain to be invested without winning an election.
The investiture will result in a coalition government, as Sánchez has secured the support of several parties. During the debate, Sánchez will present a comprehensive plan for his government, with a focus on social and labour issues. He will also address the agreements made with independentist forces.
Not only Sánchez, but also the leader of the opposition, Alberto Núñez Feijóo from the PP, will have a chance to speak during the debate. However, Santiago Abascal, the leader of Vox, has requested the suspension of the debate and strongly opposes the amnesty law.
Several other parties, including ERC, Junts, EH Bildu, and PNV, will also participate in the investiture debate. The controversial amnesty law is expected to be a central topic of discussion. To ensure the safety of the event, the Congress of Deputies in Spain will have increased security measures in place, anticipating potential protests.
