It has been just 13 days since President Pedro Sánchez appeared before the commission of inquiry. Cordo incident In the monograph debate on “Corruption in His Family and Party” to be held in the Senate and in Parliament this Wednesday. If the PP has a sufficient majority to set up a commission of inquiry on a matter it deems appropriate, it can also summon the head of the executive branch through parliamentary numerical strength. This is what he did, and Sanchez didn’t want to delay. First he would report on the recent European summit, then launch into an unpleasant and harsh debate in which he would be politically vilified. number one Regarding the investigation by the National Court into the use of cash from the Feras box for the benefit of senior officials, about the PSOE’s corruption and illegal lending conspiracy.
The president won’t concede anything, but he will protect the integrity of his wife, his brother, his party, and himself. The PP will not tire of declaring him guilty and calling for an election, especially after Mr. Jantz closed the door on him, but we will see if it is hermetic. Sánchez’s trump card against the PP is the same one used in the last general election in 2023, through popular agreements with Vox in various autonomous communities. That is, the alternative governments are right-wing and far-right. According to my interlocutors in the government coalition, it is not very original, but it is a clear reality of the sum of the majorities.
Alberto Nuñez Feijó does not like the terms of the party president’s investment in the Valencian Community, which goes beyond the framework of the reconstruction after the Dana disaster of October 29, 2024. To their displeasure, Vox provides arguments to the left-wing opposition to declare that the far-right party not only wants to impose its candidates, but is leading the PP with, above all, restrictive promises on immigration and environmental policy. The negotiations will take place over the next 10 days, and if they fail, elections will be held in March. The situation is very bad for the Extremadura election campaign on December 21st, after which President Maria Guardiola and the Extremadura PP want to eliminate Abascal’s party. This campaign takes place in a very tough ultra match in Valencia.
This dependence on Vox, which is plaguing the PP, will be the centerpiece of the government’s counterattack in this Wednesday’s plenary session of parliament. Mr. Feijoo opposes Mr. Sánchez on corruption charges and brandishes what awaits Spaniards if the right-wing rules. In an interview with EL PAÍS newspaper on Sunday, Sanchez said he was discussing the world situation with other leaders from Latin America and Europe, saying: “There are far-right international forces that are making a clear statement and we have to respond positively.”
In this interview, he vowed to run again in the 2027 elections, a statement of intent in response to demands from the PP and Vox to call an election and resign.
The harsh language used against him by Feijo and Abascal will set the tone, but the government will also be very careful about the language of the remaining groups, especially the Jants, but also the PNV. Basque nationalists have traditionally believed they have room to implement policies and agreements that interest them. Another question is whether they will come to think that just being there is not worth being there, as nationalist sources admit.
The government is not interested in the announcement officially announced on Thursday to disband Juntz, but it is also aware that on some issues Catalan independence supporters will agree to have a say and vote. Otherwise, much explanation will have to be given in Catalonia to justify the rejection of measures that affect both Catalans and residents of all communities. The ERC is extremely alarmed and ready to condemn the actions of Carles Puigdemont’s party.
But it’s not just the government pulling the ropes of Jants towards him. PP too. The first one is obvious. PP is realized by sharing a wide range of socio-economic benefits. However, without announcing it publicly. Conjunctions will appear on Congressional voting scoreboards when appropriate.
There should be no door slamming during this week’s instant voting. Junts agrees to the terms of the Customer Service Act. Sustainable mobility law, socio-economic law and assistance to ALS patients. These will be followed by other policies that have already been discussed before the dissolution but have not yet been voted on, but which are of interest and necessity to Catalans, the government claims, justifying that it does not consider relations to have definitively broken down.
We must always consider the impact of the European Court of Justice’s judgment on Janz. European Union Attorney General publishes first conclusions on amnesty law process Thursday the 13th this week. It is to express an opinion on the consultations carried out by the Spanish courts. Questions at stake include whether the Spanish government acted in the general interest or was a “self-pardon”, or whether there was a misappropriation of funds affecting the interests of the European Union. Any bad news for Jantz from Spanish or European courts is translated by independence supporters as Pedro Sánchez’s “insubordination.” For example, the outstanding pardon for Puigdemont does not take into account that it is completely beyond the capacity of the executive branch.
