Pablo Iglesias wants to mark territory and position in the negotiation of the Budgets for 2021. In Unidos Podemos, the fear spread that the desire of the PSOE to prioritize the dialogue with Citizens would decaffeinate its role as a government partner and evaporate its demands.

The leader of Podemos and Pedro Sánchez met on Monday on Moncloa, given internal tensions over preferences over public accounts, and agreed on the conditions of the negotiation.

The second vice president states that the pact with the Prime Minister entails a tax increase - "a revision of taxation in a progressive and redistributive sense," he calls it - and that it requires negotiating with ERC rather than with Citizens.

We can post a kind of public order to the PSOE because of the fear that instead of agreeing on a draft budget they with the socialists, they would like to agree first with the Arrimadas party.

The purple ones already have the leading role and the negotiation of the draft they wanted, will seat Nacho Álvarez - Iglesias' right hand - in the negotiation, but Iglesias continues to haggle the negotiation with Ciudadanos.

It relies on the pact reached with Sánchez in Moncloa.

According to him, the terms thereof include that María Jesús Montero, Minister of Finance, and Álvarez, will negotiate first with the parties that supported Sánchez's inauguration, then with those who abstained and finally with those who voted against.

This methodology, which Iglesias has exposed as agreed with Sánchez, would prioritize dialogue and the attempt in agreement with ERC and the rest of the nationalist forces, rather than with Cs, which would be framed in the last group of dialogue.

"The order that we agreed on is one of sanity and parliamentary courtesy. First we spoke with the groups that supported the investiture, then with those who abstained and then with the bloc on the right. It is made of a pine wood box," Iglesias said in an interview in La Sexta.

Although Sánchez has decided to structure the negotiation of public accounts on the support of Ciudadanos, in Podemos they do not renounce public pressure for the socialist sector to make one last attempt with ERC.

The purple ones consider that their government partners have not done everything possible to reassemble the investiture bloc. "The feasible thing for this government to be stable and to provide stability is to ensure the only majority that in the last few years has demonstrated that he could build a progressive future. Budgets that are based on the government program, in order to be reliable and provide stability, have to build a majority that resembles the investiture bloc as closely as possible. "
