Two prominent members of the Government and the PSOE, the Vice President of the Acting Executive, Carmen Calvo, and the Minister of Development and Secretary of Organization of the party, José Luis Ábalos, have cooled today the round of contacts that President Pedro Sánchez planned to maintain with the rest of the parties at the beginning of September with the argument that he is not a candidate for the investiture.

Calvo, in a statement this morning, did not want to confirm whether a meeting with United Podemos will take place next week, the group whose vote he needs for his presidential nomination. "The president of the Government will meet, if necessary, with a strengthened, expanded and improved program with the rest of the groups. If there is any place. But the president has no charge or any particular impact on an issue until September 23 "said the vice president. We will see, he added, "what is available and at what time the Head of State, whether or not someone is commissioned," in reference to the fact that after new meetings with all parties of the parliamentary arch, the King will propose a candidate again to the Presidency and submit to another investiture in Congress.

"Right now we are waiting for a round made by the head of state, which is what a candidate has to propose. Until he does not make the round, it is not a matter of that role being assumed by the PSOE. The head of state, when Talk to the political parties and pick up their position. You will see if there are conditions to propose a candidate again. You have done it before. If you see it, you will do it; and if not, you will not. But it is clear that an assignment is needed "

"It is also true that right now we are waiting for a round made by the head of state, which is what a candidate has to propose. Until he does not make the round it is not a matter of that role being assumed by the PSOE. The chief of the State, when you talk to the political parties and pick up their position, you will see if there are conditions to propose a candidate again. You have done it before. If you see it, you will do it; and if not, you will not. But it is clear that an order is needed "
