He defended in his management report in Moncloa that he forcefully faced cases of sexual harassment and that corruption is encapsulated in a very specific group against which the government and the PSOE acted effectively and quickly.
But his coalition and his inauguration partners in Parliament do not believe him. They consider the response he gave during his press conference to the scandals that brought the government to the worst possible moment to be unsatisfactory.
The president does not want to make profound changes to the government as requested Yolanda Diazdoes not want to go to Parliament to give explanations and, of course, does not want to call elections as the PNV, Sánchez’s most experienced partner, is beginning to suggest.
After listening to it, Sumar found the president’s response unsatisfactory and the most important thing is that the one who did it was the Minister of Culture, Ernest Urtasunin his capacity as spokesperson for the minority coalition partner.
Podemos has been much more forceful in assuring that the government “is dead”, and the PNV is already using words like “unsustainable” to define the situation.
Sánchez wants to lower the ball, cool the agenda and wait until February to see if Junts is recoverable because some of his requests have been approved.
But all partners are impatient and want gestures that, in turn, free them from the wear and tear of a government surrounded by cases of sexual harassment and corruption.
Even within the PSOE there is a certain impatience with the handling of these issues, as evidenced by the manifesto signed by socialist women from Galicia against the way in which the autonomous leadership of the party has handled the issue.
For example, shortly before Sánchez appeared in La Moncloa, the ERC spokesperson in Congress, Gabriel Rufianexplained his doubts about the current situation. His dilemma between encouraging the arrival of “the right and the extreme right” and supporting the profusion of scandals around the Government.
“Many of us do not want Abascal to be vice president, but many of us do not want to continue being embarrassed as we experience every day,” Rufián said.
“And you too”
In addition, he urged Sánchez not to do two things during his appearance, which he did a few minutes later: “Stop being sad because it’s not working and leave the and you too“.
The president did both things. The first, when he spoke of “persistent campaigns of personal harassment, lies and mud” and repeatedly referred to the media, talk shows and columnists.
The second, when he remembered that the PP of Mariano Rajoy There was illegal financing. But above all, when asked about his responsibility for having chosen as close collaborators Santos Cerdan, Jose Luis Abalos And Paco Salazar replied: “A person who gets on a yacht to go on vacation (referring to Feijóo and Marcial Dorado) is better known than the one who shares a table in the Council of Ministers.”
In other words, Sánchez’s words clearly did not meet the expectations of one of his most loyal and effective partners.
Moncloa insists that none of these partners, starting with Sumar, will break the game because, in any case, the alternative is an extreme right whose arrival in government would be impossible for everyone to digest.
But all this causes wear and tear and distance between the government and those who support it.
And a situation that was highlighted this weekend Miriam NoguerasJunts spokesperson: the weaker Sánchez is, the easier it will be to extract demands from him.
This has a negative point, but Moncloa wants to see the positive: Junts is ready to negotiate, even if it is from this position of strength.
In fact, Sánchez announced yesterday that the tax balances would be published and that the Basque Country and Catalonia would be represented at UNESCO and the World Tourism Organization. These are two historic demands of nationalists and separatists.
