Pedro Sánchez has publicly sealed his understanding with Ciudadanos today. An approach that began with negotiations to approve the last three extensions of the state of alarm, which has spilled over to other issues, especially economic ones, and has been extended to issues such as the regulation of the so-called New Normality or the reforms in health laws to respond to future emergencies. And that now the Prime Minister wants to expand to next year's budgets, although this may mean not fully complying with his coalition government pact with Podemos.
In an appearance in La Moncloa, after holding the Conference of Presidents, the last after three months of consecutive weekly appointments, until a new meeting, in person, announced for the end of July, the Chief Executive has opened more clearly than never the door for eventual Cs support for the 2021 accounts. Sánchez has defended that at the moment, citizens, regardless of who votes in the elections, "ask us to reach agreements" and demand "unity of all forces policies. "
In this post Covid 19 scenario, Sánchez frames the dialogue with Inés Arrimadas, although that means leaving the investiture block (Podemos, PNV and ERC) because for the task of "reconstructing" the damage caused by the pandemic, in the face of an economic crisis and social that is already a reality, it is necessary to have all the parties. That does not mean, he explained, that the Government renounces the pact signed with ERC - whose abstention unlocked Sánchez's election. The president has assured today that "our commitments with the ERC are still in force" and has reaffirmed that he will convene the dialogue table between the State and the Generalitat in July, as the Republicans demand.
But up to two times he has defended that this legislature requires "transversal agreements", even when asked directly if Cs' participation in the negotiation of the budgets of the programmatic agreements reached with Podemos.
The Government, he recalled, has 155 "starting" seats, referring to the 120 of the PSOE and the 35 of Podemos, but up to 176, which is the absolute majority, necessary to approve the 2021 accounts "we have a leap to take ", in reference to the necessary support from other parties. "If budgets with transversal agreements are justified, it is now", he pointed out, due to "the magnitude of the challenge that lies ahead".
For this reason, he has advocated "putting the general interests before the individuals of one or the other group", referring to the possibility of not being able to fully comply with his programmatic agreement with Podemos and that the accounts, which Sanchez considers of "reconstruction" can be " complement "with other groups that," legitimately ", will have to make their demands. Until now the chief executive has been more cautious in projecting his new relationship with Ciudadanos and even more cautious in messages to his parliamentary partners.
