Although the agreement between the PSOE and Podemos to form the first government of the coalition of democracy contains serious threats to economic stability, the main assignment of Pedro Sánchez to tie his investiture lies in the concessions that have taken away both Catalan independence and the Basque nationalism The fact that parties disloyal to the constitutional framework such as ERC or Bildu observe this process as an "opportunity" to advance their separatist claims clearly reflects the drift of the socialists. That Sanchez is open to reform the state model with the PNV or that it endorses convening a consultation in Catalonia shows to what extent a founding party of the democracy of 78 as the PSOE has completely denied its systemic role . The steps that Ferraz is taking constitute a historical opprobrium for the Socialist Party and a coup that erodes the validity of the constitutional pact.

It is completely irresponsible that the acting President of the Government offers legal protection to a vote in Catalonia. Sanchez should accept that national sovereignty is not negotiable . And much less in exchange for a burdensome endowment. The fiscal increase, the entry into the Council of Ministers of the radical left or the chalaneo with minority groups will frighten investors and sharpen territorial imbalances. However, the fact of giving free access to the call for a referendum in Catalonia to ratify an eventual agreement between the Government and the Generalitat, the result of the extraparliamentary dialogue table set up between the PSOE and ERC, legitimizes the claims of independence and opens the door to liquidate national unity . Whatever Spain must decide the whole of Spanish citizenship. It is so basic this constitutional pillar that produces shame and horror to have to remind the leader of the party that for more years Spain has ruled since the Transition.

To this we must add that the secret pact revealed by ERC has been forged in the middle of Christmas - which is an attempt to circumvent the media focus - against the majority of PSOE voters - as we publish today, 60% of them he rejects the concept of plurinationality - and by running over the PSOE deliberation bodies. It is incomprehensible that, before a Kamikaze road map, barons like Lambán or García-Page, who had warned of the danger of accepting a swallow in the form of "petroleum jelly", remain silent. Criticism of sanchismo cannot be limited by a mere calculation of organic or personal strategy . Batet has set the final vote of the Investiture Plenary for January 7. The barons of the PSOE are still in time to stop Sanchez. If they do not, they will lose all credibility to articulate the defense of the nation.
