The lack of support in Congress will not stop activity in the Council of Ministers. The idea of government is to keep a finger on the pulse of the legislature Based on decrees and draft laws To “surf” the vacuum that the disintegration of juntas may leave in the Legislative Council. For example, on Tuesday it approved a bill to reduce class sizes and regulate teachers’ working hours. Government sources said: “We have the ability to implement projects,” recalling the laws that were approved during this legislative period and have not yet been implemented. “This is what governance is all about,” they assert.
In Moncloa, they downplayed the significance of the Junts closing the door and the consequences that might ensue, although they insisted that their decision to break away from the government be respected. The head of the executive branch, Pedro Sanchez, expressed this in a similar way last Friday from Belém (Brazil). “The government is the first to extend a helping hand Take fulfillment of commitments seriously“, he claimed, praising that all the efforts made by the groups to approve the measures on their legislative agenda will be “worth it.”
His words did not go well with those mentioned. While Carles Puigdemont referred to the famous “fuck you” phrase uttered by Xavier Trias to the PSOE, the party’s executive director registered her boredom with “Ostrich” What do you think the government is doing?. The message is clear and concise: they are asking Sanchez to “open his eyes” because they “destroyed the legislature.”
But the government does not seem to be receiving it with such clarity. From Moncloa they confirm that they will keep the pulse on the Cabinet, and with regard to their time in Congress, they explain that what Gontz announced It’s not a “full veto.”. They realize that they do not want to negotiate or talk, but they realize that this does not translate into rejecting all socialist initiatives or those coming from the executive branch.
They are also fully aware of the very long primary campaign that will begin next December with the elections in Extremadura, will continue with the elections in Castile and Leon, will continue with the Andalusian elections, and, in the absence of other communities joining the early elections, will culminate in 2027 with the general elections. In addition, Moncloa demands all “important” laws that have already been approved and have not yet been implemented, such as housing. “This is what governance is all about.“They argue.
But besides facing parliamentary votes, Sanchez will also have to face constant trips and threats from the Junts. In fact, the Prime Minister will appear this Wednesday in Congress to talk, among other things, about this separation with those who were partners in his inauguration. Sanchez asked to come to the House of Representatives to report on what happened Results of recent international summitsThe European Council meeting that was scheduled to take place that week and the “Status of Public Services in Spain.”
However, the list of issues has grown in recent days: at the request of the People’s Party, the President will also have to do so Explain the consequences at the legislative level of the disintegration of GhentAs well as the issue of Koldo and the financing of the Socialist Workers’ Party. In this regard, Carles Puigdemont’s men can once again rub salt in the wound during their response, which does not mean a parliamentary rejection, but an implicit one.
