Madrid, November 27 (EFECOM).- Podemos Secretary General, Ione Pillara, confirmed that she sees the government of Pedro Sánchez as “hesitant” regarding the 2026 budgets, while the PSOE’s spokesman in Congress, Patxi Lopez, accused the PP of being irresponsible for Thursday’s vote against the path to stability.
“The government has been hesitant, and I see a government without a desire to negotiate,” Bellara said in the corridors of Congress, where she insisted on her idea that the executive had brought stabilization goals to the Council, without having the support to approve them, “more like an election campaign for the PSOE than a real will to draw up public budgets.”
According to Pillara, if the executive branch wants to “set the course and move forward with the social offensive, there may be budgets.”
Also speaking in Congress, Patxi López asked herself “what is the political argument for not voting for the deficit path because it was presented by the government of Pedro Sánchez” and stressed that “this is not the first time that the PP and other parties have shown absolute irresponsibility in this chamber.”
The Socialist speaker was thus referring to the rejection of the deficit path by the parliamentary majority composed of the People’s Party, Voxes and Juntes, which “allows autonomous communities and local entities to have room for maneuver and many resources to meet the challenges of each community and strengthen public services.”
Along these lines, ERC spokesperson Gabriel Ruffian confirmed that Juntes was portrayed in the vote as doing “harm” to Catalonia and “siding with the worst in the Council.”
“The spending cap will greatly affect Catalonia. I ask Junts to stop hurting my country,” Ruffian said.
House of Commons sources also confirmed that Junts had voted “against Catalonia receiving €330 million in 2026 and around €1,038 million in the next three years” and warned that this represented more than 11,500 salaries for primary school teachers, more than 10,000 salaries for nurses or more than 340,000 full scholarships in one year.
Somar MP Alberto Ibáñez (Compromis) said that political parties “must stop looking at their navels and partisanship and thinking that we urgently need public state budgets, consistent with the priority, which is housing.” Evie
