The government did not agree with the approval of a General State Budget next year, the work on which the future of the parliament depends. If you are running a public account, Pedro Sánchez he will be able to fulfill his duties without special problems. If not, it will be very difficult, although in Moncloa they guarantee that it will resist no matter what. The Chief Executive’s top aides continue to bet that the Budget will go into effect, though after January 1. They insist that after Junts and ERC congresses, ordered the end of October and November, things will change. But he notes that the conversation is very emotional, with little progress, and that the atmosphere between the partners is “difficult.” Above all, among those on the left of the PSOE, and Can we as a major factor of destabilization.
Meanwhile, the Government is waiting for the meeting that the Junts will hold in Calella (Barcelona) from Friday to Sunday this week. Following the investiture of Salvador Illa and the decision of the Supreme Court not to apply the amnesty Carles Puigdemont, the post-convergents have written long distance more recently with the Socialists. But in Moncloa it is believed that he will change his mind after the natural meeting, where the Junts will reorganize his work and choose the ‘former president’ as the new leader, since he currently does not have any position.
Puigdemont, according to the Government, did not want to come no to the meeting of his party and the agreement with the PSOE under his arm. But after the meeting, the same sources continue, the discussion may bear fruit, which has not been interrupted despite the constant conflicts, and meetings in Switzerland to be fulfilled at the rate of one month. “All the meetings are about it increasing pressure. They live a lot. Especially when speaking in public,” said another minister.
The Executive uses the same approach to the ERC, which will hold its meeting on November 30, in parallel with the PSOE. The Republicans, unlike the reformers, are at war with each other because of the conflict between them. Oriol Junqueras y Marta Rovira. The government also wants to wait until the internal issues are resolved. So far, there is no connection with the Republicans. “The negotiations are not going well. “They call us little,” he admitted this Wednesday Gabriel Rufián, ERC spokesperson to Congress.
Appointment in the Executive by PSOE
Before talking about the Budget in depth, the Executive should discuss about send the need advance to public accounts. But instead of the first vice president and finance minister, Maria Jesus Montero, They prove that it is not necessary to be too fast. The idea that the Government is working on is to show how they can spend money and be sustainable with debt goals December, while Republicans and post-convergents have removed their internal mechanisms. Then things in the PSOE and the Government will be different. Socialists will celebrate theirs Congress in Seville from November 29 to December 1, and Sánchez, according to the most widespread version of the party, wants to make good repair of the executive.
But not only that. By the same date, the President of the State will appoint a successor Teresa Ribera, The third Vice-President is the Minister of Ecological Transition, who will be the Vice-President and Commissioner for Competition of European Commission. There are many social leaders who think, and have said this privately, that Sánchez will take advantage, change more in the Executive and gaining strength after the summer and autumn marked by problems with the courts and lack of cooperation with the Junts.
Two “impossible” requirements.
But in this, another player has appeared who is threatening to make things very difficult for the Government. we can, whose four delegates are required to approve the Budget (either by voting or rejecting it), has established two conditions: breaking diplomatic relations with Israel and limited by law rent 40% It has also announced a to discuss about his decision, leaving the purple army the last choice, something it makes change difficult.
“They should have called a second application to change, “explains the member of the Government, who hopes that the two requirements of Podemos will be. “impossible” to accept. “They make a mistake in perception,” continues the same communicator. He sees that the Budget may fail, so he is like boyfriends: Before you leave me, I will leave you. But we still believe that there will be a Budget. And we do not think that all the parties that made Sánchez’s money possible will support them and Podemos will not. ”
