• Investiture. 72 hours of total blackout in the PSOE-Podemos negotiation
  • Negotiation: This was the PSOE-Podemos meeting: four hours blank and one to make a new meeting

With the clock running against him, the Minister of Public Works, José Luis Ábalos, said on Monday in Valencia that the PSOE "will call today" to the representatives of Podemos to make a new meeting that can serve to close the investment.

"They had time to consider our proposal through last Thursday's meeting," said the minister. We understand that three days have passed since then and therefore today we are going to call you to try to put you to a new meeting. "

Since July, Ábalos has added, "the Socialist Party has been improving its offer without ever obtaining a clear answer. The forms, the times, the attitudes are important, because they warn us of what the scenarios are or of the behavior in future scenarios. Call the attention that that offer that was humiliating could be decisive ".

If the deficit between PSOE and Podemos is trustworthy ("and it is," the minister admitted), "it is not that much work has been done to overcome it," he said. As an example, he cited the criticism of the purple party towards President Pedro Sánchez after RTVE has tendered two contracts for electoral sets in anticipation of new elections. In these criticisms, he said, "there will be ignorance, possibly, that it is not excusable when you want to be part of a government, but some bad faith is there too. We are being reproached for purposes that we do not have."

In the opinion of the secretary of the Socialist Organization, "we all know that other elections are nothing but the capacity of political representation to assume the verdict of citizenship. And we are also aware that new elections basically would not change the current scenario. Knowing everything that, why don't we let the legislature walk? "

Ábalos has stressed that the "only possible government" is one led by the PSOE, but has also implied that although there is a progressive agenda, "we must direct our government action to the citizens as a whole. It is logical when one sees plurality of Parliament: We have to reach agreements with the greatest possible representation. "

And he has insisted that his training has made Podemos "an offer of integration at different levels, both in the Administration and in the institutional system itself. Even in participations that could be of the Socialist Party."

The minister has also reproached in his speech the "tacticism" of PP and Citizens: "Those who said do not continue with the no, even at the cost of a situation that they say they do not want. For example, say we do not want a Government that depend on the independentistas, on those who want to break Spain, but you agree with them. They are overly explaining their tacticism and their partisan interest. That the prophecy is fulfilled to have an alibi to lash out against the Government, "he said.
