Bárcenas until March of this year. The impact of this news, and the threat of a motion of censure promoted by Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba, have not gone unnoticed by the main newspapers in Europe, where the stability of the Government of Spain and the continuity of Rajoy himself have been called into question. . Faced with the “doubts” of the international press about the political future of Spain, the president has decided to change strategy and appear in Parliament “to give explanations not only to the opposition, but also to investors and European partners ,” close sources explain. to the president. He asked his closest collaborators for their opinion. The Government sources consulted by ECD also explain that Mariano Rajoy made a series of calls to his closest collaborators before contacting the president of Congress and requesting to appear in the plenary session of the Chamber.

The president was concerned about “the speculation” that was being made from abroad about his silence and about the direction the country would take in the event of a hypothetical fall of the Government.

Rajoy's team estimates that the session will last well into the afternoon of August 1 and, although the opposition will insist on the 'Bárcenas case', the Government is preparing other topics to be discussed during the president's speech .
