Ambivalent message, with multiple addresses and recipients, to get the investiture forward. The acting chief executive, Pedro Sánchez, in an appearance in La Moncloa after meeting with the president of the European Council, Charles Michel, has insisted on his offer of dialogue within the Constitution and the Statute of Autonomy to try to convince ERC of Do not vote against. This is the position of this independence party, after the meeting that the spokesman of the PSOE in Congress, Adriana Lastra, has held with his counterpart in the Republican parliamentary group, Gabriel Rufián.

Sanchez stressed that the PSOE and United We can "we are the only parties that bet on dialogue" to overcome the Catalan crisis, implying that they represent the most favorable alternative for ERC but at the same time has appealed "to the responsibility and generosity of all, without exception (only excludes Vox) to give way to the only possible government. " Call on the one hand to ERC. And on the other, the possibility of refraining from PP or Citizens. As if he didn't want to close any doors.

But, in any case, your greatest attention has been directed to ERC. "Those who oppose a progressive government of the PSOE and United We may have to explain what solution they propose, what alternative they want," he said. The president has insisted on the "willingness to dialogue within the law" that is included in the pre-agreement signed with Pablo Iglesias. And he has avoided answering if he maintains the commitment - made in the campaign during the electoral debate - to recover the crime of illegal referendum in the Criminal Code. Although he has been asked explicitly for this reason he has not wanted to answer. The independentistas, in the note that they have sent after the meeting between Rufián and Lastra, justify their rejection of the investiture of Sánchez in which there is no indication that the PSOE "will abandon the repressive way".

Yes, he has responded to the claim of ERC and JxCat to establish a table of parties, regardless of any institutional support, and has said that "there is a table in the Parliament of Catalonia that must be activated by the independence leaders, who have to speak with the non-independence party. " "From there the Government of Spain will always be in favor of finding a political solution to this territorial crisis. We will not solve it in a month, we will need time, generosity and sense of state on the part of all."

In any case, Sánchez has defended that his final proposal on Catalonia will be made in his investiture speech and will be reflected in the Government program, which he negotiates with Unida Podemos. "We must reach agreements in multiple areas, also on this territorial crisis."
