It was only one day after the pompous rubric of the pact between Pedro Sánchez and Pablo Iglesias to know the price that the independence system puts on its eventual support for a coalition government. ERC, a key party for the PSOE and Podemos in the search for a parliamentary majority, made it clear yesterday that any support for Sanchez's return to the Pedralbes table is contingent . This would imply admitting the existence of a conflict in Catalonia - not a problem of coexistence, as reflected in the document signed by Sánchez and Iglesias - and accepting the mediation of a rapporteur aimed at establishing a bilateral negotiation between the Government and the Generalitat. Assuming this blackmail would be as much as kneeling the State before those who remain immersed in a coup against freedoms and national unity.

Both Pere Aragonès, the visible head of ERC while Junqueras continues in prison, and Arnaldo Otegi were yesterday explicit in their claims. The Catalan vice president demanded to articulate a negotiating table without red lines. For his part, the leader of EH Bildu conditioned to open up to support the investiture to address the right of self-determination . All this while the Basque nationalism negotiates a new Statute and just when the separatism not only does not renounce the unilateral route but continues to cover the violent actions and disobeys the TC, as reflected in the motion in favor of the self-determination promoted by the CUP. "We will do it again." The threat of Torra, who asks Podemos to facilitate the amnesty of the prisoners from the Council of Ministers, places Sanchez in front of the mirror of his irresponsibility. Governing based on secessionism causes alarm . And so the markets have perceived it. The Ibex and the banks were severely punished on the stock market after the coalition was announced. The selective fell 2% in the middle of the session, dragged by the generalized collapse of the entities. The bank has left 6,000 million euros since Tuesday.

Arming a Frentist government, in the hands of an unstable alliance of populists and separatists, should lead critics of sanchismo to raise their voices. Emiliano García-Page maintains today in EL MUNDO that the Government of Spain "cannot depend" on those who intend to break Spain. Beyond the exception of the president of Castilla-La Mancha, before the clamorous silence of the last days, it is possible to ask if there is life in the PSOE . Both the rest of the barons refractory to the empowerment of his party and some of his historical referents face the moral duty of preventing Sanchez from leaving the Executive in the hands of a party whose leader has been convicted of sedition. All of them would have to keep in mind Rubalcaba's warning about the danger posed by a Frankenstein Government not only for governance, but for the defense of the nation.
