The government already openly admits in public that, today, it does not have sufficient support in Congress to carry out some general state budgets. And that, as long as that does not change, they will not even present a project with the accounts in Parliament, as the Constitution mandates. “We do not understand the debate very well. The Constitution clearly establishes the mechanisms on how to act in case the budgets are not approved and are being applied. We have extended expansive budgets that promoted this same government,” they defend sources from the Executive.
During the press conference after the Council of Ministers on Tuesday, the members of the Government who have appeared have raffled one after another the questions of the press about those accounts that the president himself promised in his day to present even without support. “It would be to waste time to Congress and, therefore, citizens,” said spokeswoman, Pilar Alegría.
Alegría has insisted that the executive “continues to work” to carry out the budget project, despite the fact that the set of parliamentary allies recognize that, currently, it is not even negotiating. “I assure you that the contacts can be daily but, in short, we can intensify those contacts,” said the Minister of Justice and Relations with the Cortes, Félix Bolaños, who has defended that with the current accounts the economy is “fantastically well.”
The spokeswoman did not want to set a temporary limit to formally give the accounts, although in the Executive they assume that the political conditions to face that negotiation are not given now. “This government is a realistic government about the parliamentary complexity that we have,” he concluded.
“If there is no agreement, because the budgets are extended. But without any doubt. Because what we need right now is stability,” said the president of the government to questions from the press during his appearance in Brussels last week.
Sánchez insisted on the argument that his team will “sweat the shirt” to carry out new accounts. “We are talking to parliamentary groups. We are working with them. We do not give up to present the general state budgets and what we are doing with them is to work and see exactly what feasibility there is.”
