members of parliament are currently voting on the fate of the prime minister, mariano rajoy.e's expected to be ousted in a vote of no-confidence. let's get strait out there you're looking at parliament in madrid willem marx has the latest on that vote which is happening as we speak >> that's right. we are expecting that as we speak literally. mariano rajoy facing a no confidence proposal put forward by one of his opponents, pedro sanchez. this is a slow boil situation that's finally come to a head. his party has been mired in a huge corruption scandal that's encroached on some people close to him that's the pretext for this no confidence vote. a lot of it stems from what happened in catalonia over the last nine or ten months. we expect him to essentially be ousted any minute. he said he would welcome the numbers in terms of the vote itself from the rest of the parliament and he would honor it he's already congratulated pedro sanchez who will almost immediately be sworn in as new prime minister he said he will honor mariano rajoy's budget plans we don't expect major changes in

mariano rajoy is known as spain's crisis manager and never with those talents more sorely needed when he's people's party came to power in its third attempt in two thousand and eleven as a sixty three year old political veteran it was an election won convincingly on a promise to tackle. the fallout from the two thousand and eight economic crisis but roy's austerity measures backed by the e.u. approved tough medicine and brought the people out onto the streets the salaries of public workers were frozen rent assistance for young people abolished income tax up and pensions down but it steered spain back to growth. over the last two years spain has been rocked by the territorial crisis over catalonia. despite the protests clamping down hard on the separatist movement blocked it from seceding after catalonia declared independence. but roy safe pair of hands fumbled the latest scandal last week as more than two dozen business people including his party's former treasurer were sentenced on charges of corruption afterwards the socialist party put forward a motion to vote him from office is th
