Pedro Sánchez announced tonight his first meeting with the president of the Generalitat of Catalonia , Quim Torra, which will be in the first week of February, and added that he will undertake a tour of all the autonomous communities to maintain contact with all its presidents. "I want this to be the legislature of dialogue and consensus," he said.

What has changed is, he explained, that the situation in Catalonia is "calmer" and, in addition, "it has been agreed with ERC to activate a bilateral commission that is," he said, "absolutely constitutional and will work in parallel to the table of parties in the Parliament . The solution to the challenge of Catalonia will come "from dialogue". The date chosen for the meeting with Torra implies delaying, beyond the 15 days agreed with ERC from the formation of Government, the inauguration of the Government-Govern bilateral table.

Sanchez said that Catalan society "will have to vote on the agreements" to those who, where appropriate, finally arrive at that table. The agreement, however, according to Sánchez, cannot be about something that "divides", thus implying that it cannot be about the secession of Catalonia.

Sanchez stressed that in his opinion the path is "self-government, not self-determination" and defended the regional framework for "progress and cohesion" that has led to forty years.

"We must return to politics a conflict that is political and we cannot stand behind the Supreme Court," he said before revealing that he has received "complaints" from magistrates and judges who felt that they were being pushed to solve a problem politically. It corresponded.

"The Government of Spain will always be in strict compliance with the law," he said, and stressed that Catalan independence "must be aware that there is no room for unilateral means."

«We cannot stay in the reproach or in the blockade, we must take a step forward to try to resolve the conflict. I'm going to try, ”he said. And then he decided to address in Congress a revision of the Criminal Code , some of whose aspects, he said, "are no longer worth it."

The President of the Government also justified his decision to appoint Dolores Delgado as the new attorney general of the State and asked to "give him a vote of confidence" because his curriculum is "impeccable."

"I have asked him to act with absolute independence and the Government will absolutely respect his autonomy," he insisted to address the criticisms of PP, Cs and Vox. At this point, the president criticized "on the right" that "do not assume his electoral defeat." "They are in a row, in the smoke screens."

Regarding the parental pin, proposed by Vox and launched in the Community of Murcia , the President of the Government did not hesitate to call it "a problem invented by the right". In this regard, he asked the leader of the PP, Pablo Casado, not to be dragged into extremist positions.

Budgets, before summer

Already in the economic field, Sanchez expressed his desire that before the summer Spain has new General State Budgets and called on the opposition to renounce to block the country. "It is one thing to oppose and another to harm citizens by sectarianism," he said.

The head of the government resigned, however, to bet on the annulment of the labor reform and limited himself to advocating the suppression of some of its aspects that have been shown to be harmful. In this area he was confident in being able to reach a pact with the various parliamentary forces. He also reiterated his intention to raise the SMI at the end of the legislature until it reaches the level of 60% of the average salary but said it will leave room for social dialogue to set the pace of the increases.
