There are no two without three. After the meeting between Yolanda Diaz And Pedro Sanchez At the beginning of this week, this Friday a new meeting took place that brought together representatives of Sumar, Municipalities, Más Madrid and IU with the Organizing Secretariat of the PSOE.
From now on, the minority partner awaits the next meeting of the “Government Pact Monitoring Committee”.
Sumar collects meetings. The last one took place this Friday at the Congress of Deputies in an almost clandestine environment of which there are not even photos.
The balance couldn’t be more disparate. For those of Yolanda Diaz“represented no significant progress” and “the legislature is in danger.” On the other hand, on the socialist side, the results are “positive”.
The party of the second vice-president calls for “regeneration measures” and “the continuity of the Social Shield”. Of course, the hon. Tesh Sidi already warns that they exclude “any possibility of leaving the government”.
The problem for Sumar is that his hypothetical abandonment would leave four ministers on the street since only Yolanda Díaz has a representative record.
Neither Ernest Urtasun (Culture), nor Pablo Bustinduy (Social rights), Sira Régo (Youth) or Monique Garcia (Health) are assured of a public salary if they leave the Government.
Many therefore believe that Sumar’s coalition would break up if Díaz proposed to leave, since each minister belongs to a different party. Urtasun is the common quota, Rego belongs to IU and García is from Más Madrid.
The case of the Minister of Health is the bloodiest. She left her mandate as a deputy in the Assembly of Madrid, where she was leader of the opposition, and requested the portfolio to project herself against the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Diaz Ayusoto return later triumphant and lead the ballot for the regional candidacy.
However, his management is marred by clashes with health workers over the negotiation of the Framework Statute while new leadership emerges in the Madrid Assembly.
“What will Mónica García do if she leaves the ministry? Knock on the door of the Assembly while Emilio Delgado “Is he eating the toast?” » says a left-wing party which is not part of Sumar.
The partners know that Díaz must be in government and the PSOE knows it too.
Hence the jokes with which the ministers this week took the turn of Yolanda Díaz who went from the request for an overhaul of the executive, rejected by Sánchez, to the request for an emergency meeting even if the Council of Ministers did not seem angry.
“Sumar tells us one thing and we do what we think,” one minister said privately after learning of Díaz’s meeting request.
In the rest of the parliamentary arc, Díaz is estimated to be weakened after this week. Not only does he not follow through on his threats, but it is believed that he is “copying” the initiatives.
“He learned that Sánchez was going to provoke a government crisis and he took ownership of the idea and then scored a goal,” they said in another party.
This also did not help later Díaz, and later Enrique Santiagorequested urgent meetings just after hearing Gabriel Rufián (ERC) request a meeting.
In the case of the separatists, Moncloa will receive them with more solemnity. It will be in January during a meeting he will attend Oriol Junqueras.
It will also be his first meeting with a government president after the conviction of the ERC leader for sedition and embezzlement after the 1-O referendum.
More preferential treatment than the government partner.
