Overview
- The former transport minister, now in the Mixed Group, formally requested authorization to cast his votes online in the sessions scheduled for today and tomorrow.
- He is being held in preventive detention at Soto del Real by Supreme Court order, processed and awaiting trial in the 'caso mascarillas' corruption probe.
- His filing cites Article 82.2 of the Congressional rules, which allows telematic voting in exceptional situations of special gravity without detailing specific qualifying circumstances.
- He argued he retains all parliamentary rights and warned that a refusal would be an unprecedented breach of deputies' rights and citizens' representation.
- The request was communicated via his X account through a third party, and the Mesa's decision remained pending at the time of publication.
