Government President Pedro Sánchez this Wednesday gave a very positive picture of the executive’s legislative activities over the past seven years in Congress. And he did so specifically to ask Jantz, though he didn’t explicitly name him. Not to “participate” in the “blockade” carried out by the “destructive opposition” of PP and Vox and to maintain the “spirit of consensus,” because “the fate of many people depends on what is debated in Congress.” Sánchez also warned Carles Puigdemont’s party that tying its fate to the fate of PP and Vox would only lead to the same “political and intellectual collapse” in which, in his opinion, national sovereignty is mired.
This is how the President of the Government expressed himself at the beginning of his appearance in Parliament, which will be held this Wednesday to explain what was discussed at the last European Council, talk about the current state of public services and explain the corruption cases affecting the PSOE. Regarding this last issue, Sanchez provided little news. He limited himself to repeating that the executive branch has shown “total tolerance” for corruption and is cooperating with the judicial system to unravel these cases.
On the contrary, the president has been much more thorough in presenting the government’s benefits in order to win over the Juntz faction, which a few weeks ago had loudly announced a severance of ties with the executive branch, even though this supposed rupture has so far not led to any concrete setbacks. This situation could change this Thursday, with Jantz potentially joining forces with PP and Vox votes to force a postponement of the nuclear power plant’s closure schedule. However, Sanchez did not mention the first danger. He focused his speech on the social measures currently underway. To put pressure on Jantz.
“For seven years, we have ruled in extreme and unprecedented conditions of pandemics, successive wars, energy and economic crises, and natural disasters,” and “in the face of all these crises, Spain suffers from destructive opposition to the grotesque Only in this way, Sanchez said, would it be “explained” that the PP and Vox “oppose pension revaluation” or “oppose labor reforms that would increase employment and reduce temporary employment to historic lows” and “refuse debt cancellation that could ease the fiscal burden of the governing regions.”
“Currently, other denominations “They want to agree to that blockade.” The president acknowledged that Jantz had always avoided criticism, saying there was “no reason” for this change in attitude. But “what are the reasons to block laws that protect children and adolescents in the digital environment? What are the reasons why family law is not enforced in a country like ours, which is suffering from a demographic winter? And what are the laws of universality of the national health system?” Sánchez asked, referring to three norms that the independence supporters promised to break during the parliamentary process.
It was then that Sánchez appealed to the “spirit of consensus”, but also when he subtly hinted that Junz would be better off staying in the majority rather than working with the PP or Vox. “Despite all the difficulties this government faces, managed to pass reforms that improved people’s livesso do opposition voters.” Meanwhile, the right has “no project” and can only “fall into contradictions as much as they despise, capitulating to the far right by imitating its forms and policies.”
