The Government has raided the way for a long legislature with a majority in Congress after being able to align ERC and Junts, one to stay as a partner and, the other, to reduce its belligerence. After long negotiations held at both bands for weeks, this Monday the Executive of Pedro Sánchez managed to end the last crisis with Carles Puigdemont and the fulfillment of one of the great promises to Oriol Junqueras, such as the condonation of the debt of the Generalitat with the Autonomous Liquidity Fund (Fla).
Nothing is forever and less with the independence parties, which have a special need to stage conquests in Madrid. But having been able to fall together in recent months, as well as content a Junqueras who has increased their degree of demand since its re -election as a republican leader, makes the government think today of parliamentary stability that at the end of the end of the Last year it was impossible, and even dreaming of budgets.
In the government, for now, for now, any public euphoria exhibition for the undoubted support to the legislature that supposes to have managed to unlock in a stroke such transcendent agreements with ERC and Junts, two of the parliamentary groups on which the ability of action of the action of the action of the action of the action of the action of the action of the action of the action of the action of the action of the Executive in Congress. In private, all the socialist sources consulted do admit that the step taken on Monday is a breath of air for Sánchez and for their plans to project their mandate until the election year of 2027. Because they believe that, above even the content of the agreements , what prevails is the explicit will of a parliamentary majority again greased not to make the Moncloa tenant fall.
The staging and communication of these pacts occurred in a completely calculated, coordinated and agreed by all parties, as already happened in their day with the investiture agreements between the PSOE and the Catalan independence forces. Although the main stumbling block, as always, was in Junts, the government worked for weeks the impulse to part of the great pending agreements with Esquerra, a strategic ally for the socialists since 2018 in Madrid and now also in the stability of the Government of Salvador Illa, whom in Moncloa they do not want to neglect against the continuous eagerness of Puigdemont’s focus.
Immigration and protocol 16 for the withdrawal of NLP
The most complicated issue has been the Junts folder that, although it is far from solving completely, no longer burns. The express appeared in Belgium in December carrying the government for a lack of fulfillment of its commitments that led to, in theory, pause all parliamentary collaboration, while demanding a matter of confidence in the form of a proposition not of law.
A politically original and legally doubtful formula since the issue of trust is an exclusive prerogative of the President of the Government. But, while the table slept the matter, Junts showed its pyrotechnic capacity lying important decrees for the Executive.
Throughout the last month, PSOE and Junts have been lowering the level of belligerence in various contacts. But it was the last one, 72 hours before the appearance of Turull, where everything was closed, during a new summit in Brussels between Puigdemont and the negotiators of the PSOE, last Friday after two months of swings, with the involvement of a mediator International, of a former president of the Government such as José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero and with several parliamentary crises among means, the socialists managed to find the exact cable for the deactivation of The most famous law proposition in the history of Congress, that of the question of trust to Pedro Sánchez.
The Government already achieved just a month ago that the Catalan independentistas reformulate that NLP that should be discussed and voted in full on Tuesday. Then they turned to get their complete withdrawal to avoid an image of the Executive’s weakness and change to accelerate much of the pending agreements. The first will already crystallize this Tuesday, because the Council of Ministers will ratify the so -called ‘Protocol 16’, which allows high courts, such as the TSJ of Catalonia, to request the European Court of Human Rights to issue advisory opinions on issues of relative principle to the interpretation or the application of the rights and freedoms defined in the agreement or its protocols, a demand for together.
But there will be more. According to all the sources consulted, the following announcement in becoming public will be that of immigration competitions, very advanced in the last two weeks after overcoming the pitfalls. The government finalizes a draft organic law that allows communities to manage migration reception and enter legal formulas so that autonomic police such as Mossos can accompany the Civil Guard in border works and propose expulsions, without the competence ceasing to be in No exclusive case of the State.
A staging that rewards ERC
It was agreed that the PSOE’s political offensive for entertaining Junts and recovering his parliamentary support would be accompanied by a political ‘trophy’ for ERC that was responsible for announcing in the first person Oriol Junqueras. The Republican leader advanced the agreement for the conded to Catalonia of 17,000 million euros of debt. Minutes later, María Jesús Montero appeared in the Ministry of Finance to explain that the given step implies a global benefit for all autonomous communities because the State is willing to assume 83,252 million debt of the set of autonomous administrations.
The proposal, which was triggered for a long time with ERC waiting to accompany its implementation with the Junts steps, will be transferred to the set of regional executives on Wednesday in the Fiscal and Financial Policy Council. And they are convinced in the government that, unlike singular financing, it is a public debate that they have cattle and that leaves the PP trapped between their opposition strategy to Sánchez and the needs of the autonomous communities.
Although no one in La Moncloa dares to look at the budgets, there is in the government the feeling that this Monday a new political blond was passed that allows to face the second half of the legislature with reasonable optimism. With the usual recipe of Pedro Sánchez: exhibit stability in the midst of the storm while everyone asks about the wreck.
