• Negotiation: Pablo Iglesias would accept the July PSOE coalition offer if he adds active employment policies
  • Politics: Congress beats the Government in the Open Arms debate
  • PSOE.Pedro Sánchez postpones negotiations with Podemos and asks everyone for "generosity" so that there are no elections

In the race to corner to Podemos during these last weeks, before September 23 all the options to try a new investiture are liquidated and a second general election is automatically called on November 10, the Government believes that this formation will not be able reject an agreement that includes part of its electoral program.

This is the vision offered today by the acting Executive spokeswoman and Minister of Education, Isabel Celáa, at the post-meeting of the Council of Ministers . In spite of the great distancing that the Government and the PSOE with United Podemos demonstrated in Congress yesterday, Celáa has defended that a programmatic pact is possible and that there is enough time to forge it. The socialist leader and acting president, Pedro Sánchez, will present on Tuesday a proposal that has been built with contributions from social organizations with which he has met during this month, the PSOE and Podemos program. The following week, from the 9th day, according to the calculations that the PSOE manages, is when an encounter with this formation will take place to try to agree to support the investiture of Sanchez on the basis of a programmatic pact.

This is the claim of the PSOE, although Podemos insists on claiming to enter the Executive and is in favor of accepting the proposal of a social vice-presidency and three Ministries that were made in July if it incorporates active employment policies. The government spokeswoman recalled that this "is no longer on the table." "The trains pass, to choose is to resign and they did it with the argument that it was a decorative offer," said Celaá. In fact, the differences between the two exhibited yesterday in the Chamber, in the plenary session on the management of the Open Arms, have also led him to affirm that "there cannot be two governments in one" or "criticism from one party to the other".

But he does think that we may end up accepting the approach that the PSOE now makes: "What moves us to think that there should be an agreement is the goodness of the project itself. If part of your program is contained, everything would invite you to think that United We can, being reflected in the proposal, had to give him the parabien, to accept it because it benefits the citizens. " These statements connect with the idea of ​​the party's leadership that Pablo Iglesias now has a very difficult time saying no to measures that are in the best interest of the people with the only argument that they are not allowed to enter the Government. To this circumstance is added another reasoning: the idea that the division in the ranks of the purple formation on whether it is more beneficial for them to stay out of the Executive.

The Government spokeswoman sees no major problem in the fact that there are barely two weeks left before the new elections are called when the foreseeable meeting with Podemos occurs. "It's not a matter of time," he said. Iglesias himself has pointed out that he would now close the declaration in hours. "There would be more than hours," he said about the achievement of a programmatic pact.

With the political calendar absolutely dark, logic invites us to think that if the meeting between the PSOE and Podemos gave any fruit, in an immediate round of contacts of the King Sanchez would be appointed as a new candidate to hold a new investiture. But this, right now, is pure fiction. Celaá has stressed that it would be presented to a new investiture only "if it has the necessary support."
