The UPN Executive proposes to expel the rebel deputies Sayas and Adanero from the party


The UPN Executive has approved this Thursday to open an expulsion file from the party to the deputies Sergio Sayas and Carlos García Adanero, who this Thursday contravening the decision of the leadership of their party and deliberately lying, voted against the labor reform in a attempt to erode the coalition government of PSOE and United We Can with which the president of the regionalists, Javier Esparza, had reached an agreement. If the expulsion is confirmed, UPN will remain without representation in Congress for the first time since 1979, while two deputies will remain in the Mixed Group as independents by refusing to deliver their minutes. The decision has been adopted unanimously, except for the contrary vote of Adanero himself, who is part of this management body. From now on, the party’s Guarantees Committee must ratify this measure so that it can then be applied by the Political Council.

Esparza himself had already advanced this Friday the decision that his Executive was meditating, of which García Adanero himself is part, of Esparza’s trusted team and whom he supported in the party’s primaries in 2020 against Sergio Sayas, the other expelled deputy . “They do not represent UPN and cannot follow UPN,” the president of the regionalists had asserted.

Another member of the Executive, the former president of Navarra and UPN Miguel Sanz, had also been in favor of the expulsion of the two rebel deputies minutes before the start of the meeting. “The position that the deputies have adopted leaves very little room for maneuver for the Executive,” he had pointed out.

Sayas and Adanero, the only two representatives of Navarra Suma, the coalition of UPN, PP and Ciudadanos, in Congress, both regionalists, skipped the voting discipline and aligned with the PP’s thesis they tried to overthrow the approval of the labor reform, which ended up being produced thanks to an error by the PP deputy Alberto Casero, who truncated the operation.

The leadership of UPN, which did not know until the moment of the vote that its two deputies were going to skip the voting discipline, immediately asked Sayas and Adanero to hand over their minutes as deputies, something that the deputies have refused to do. two. “Javier Esparza has stopped representing UPN voters,” Sayas said on Twitter.
