A lack of parliamentary support does not stop the Council of Ministers from working. The government’s idea is to keep abreast of developments in the legislature. Based on government ordinances and bills This is to “surf” the vacuum that may be created in parliament due to the dissolution of the Jantz Party. For example, on Tuesday it approved a bill to reduce classroom ratios and regulate teachers’ working hours. “We have the capacity to implement the project,” the official stressed, recalling a law passed by this Congress but not yet implemented. “That’s what governing is all about,” they stress.
Moncloa claims to respect Jantz’s decision to break with the government, but downplays Jantz’s door slamming and the consequences and exposure it could bring. Executive Secretary Pedro Sánchez made a similar statement last Friday from Belém (Brazil). “The government is the first to reach out, take fulfilling promises very seriously”, he claimed, praising the efforts of all organizations to approve the measures on the legislative agenda as “worthy”.
His words didn’t quite match what was mentioned. Carles Puigdemont referred to PSOE’s iconic Xavier Trias’s “fuck you” remark, but party officials went on record saying she was bored with PSOE. What do you think the “ostrich” government is doing?. The message is clear and concise. They are calling on Sanchez to “open his eyes” because “they have ruined Congress.”
But the government doesn’t seem to take it so clearly. They assured Moncloa that they would keep abreast of developments in the Council of Ministers, and regarding their time in parliament, they interpreted Juntz’s announcement as follows: Not a “complete veto”. They know they don’t want to negotiate or talk, but they understand that this doesn’t mean rejecting all socialist initiatives and initiatives from the administration.
They are also well aware of the very long pre-selection campaign that will begin with elections in Extremadura this December, continue with elections in Castilla and León, continue with elections in Andalusia, and culminate in the general elections in 2027 if other communities do not participate in early elections. In addition, Moncloa insists on all the “important” laws that have already been approved, such as housing, but have not yet been implemented. ”That is what governance is all about.” they argue.
But Sanchez will not only have to face a parliamentary vote, but also Janz’s continued expeditions and threats. Indeed, this Wednesday, the President of the Government is scheduled to appear in Parliament to speak about this disconnect, particularly with those who were his appointing partners. Mr. Sánchez requested that he appear before the House of Commons to explain: Results of recent international summitsthe Council of Europe meeting that was scheduled to take place that week, and “The Situation of Public Services in Spain”.
However, the list of problems has grown in recent days and, at the request of the PP, the President will also need to: Explaining the legislative-level consequences of the Jundt split.as well as the Cordo affair and PSOE funding. In this regard, Carles Puigdemont’s men may once again rub salt into the wound during their response, which does not imply a veto of Congress, but is implicit.
