Investiture no, but governance, yes. It is a complicated offer, difficult to define and even more to develop, but for the PP, an offer. Upon his arrival at the Congress of the European People's Party in Croatia, Pablo Casado has outlined a somewhat confusing and convoluted idea, but novel for the political future of our country: if Sanchez agreed to a "circumstantial investiture" with Podemos and other forces, his training He would extend his hand from then on to issues such as "Budgets for not raising taxes, so that we can apply the Constitution and basic laws in Catalonia. To unlock the Toledo Pact, to fight gender violence, education or politics international".

Translated: if the Socialists achieve an investiture that Casado considers acceptable, without independentist forces or at least without unacceptable mortgages, there may be understanding between the two great national formations. But only in that case. Let others make him president and then call him. "If Sanchez succeeds, and has several options, and does not commit to anything against the law and the Constitution, which is not much to ask for, and then he has to agree on Budgets, Navarra, social issues, I am already saying it, we will be at height of the circumstances, "Married said this afternoon. "There is going to be the PP as it always has been. I have always had a hand and received slamming doors. Perhaps that is why he does not return my call and does not include us in the conversations," he added.

In an intervention full of reproaches, criticisms and even a request for resignation "for consistency" after knowing the ruling of the ERE, the leader of the PP has been however sufficiently troubled to raise all possible scenarios and none at the same time. And several of them unacceptable to each other. He has discarded in a thousand different ways any type of investiture agreement with Pedro Sánchez, but has reiterated "that he has the door open to guarantee governance on fundamental issues" for the country.

"The PP can not facilitate the investiture to the candidate of the party that has starred in the biggest corruption scandal in the history of Spain. We are the alternative. Joining the solution with the problem would be irresponsible for Spain, it would be impossible to leave the quagmire," He explained, saying that would completely clear the way for Vox and Podemos in the future.

In a way, Casado has invited Sánchez to look for other support as he can and then to turn his back on those who are now his preferred partners, something that in practice has a strange path if at least one of them enters in the government itself. "We can offer you a guarantee of stability in governance and that they clarify if they can among them (...) What we can do is say that it has 89 deputies for an adequate fiscal policy. To apply the Constitution in Catalonia, to unlock the pact of Toledo. If he shared common goals that suit Spain ... ", he has affirmed from Croatia. As an example, some Autonomous Communities in which the right center would have reached agreements for specific things, for the investiture and then, nothing more.

The popular has also had harsh words for the Socialists and their secretary general after the ERE ruling. "For consistency if it has one, and the exemplarity on which the motion of censure was based, Sanchez should consider step back (...) The PP cannot facilitate the investiture of the candidate of the party that has starred in the biggest corruption scandal of the History of Spain".

In his words before the media, the 'popular' has repeatedly attacked the fact that the sentence has been known after the elections and not before, although according to various informants "it was ready a few months ago and for some reason technician that we don't know was delayed. It's a responsibility that must be elucidated, we want to know why it was late. " Because, in his opinion, "it would have had a defining effect for the Socialist Party. I would like to know why the Spaniards went to vote without having all the information of a current situation that has meant an outrage of all Andalusia and all of Spain."
