On Sunday, the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, strengthened his new relationship with Ciudadanos with a clear defense that they participate in the negotiation of the Budget, even if that means lowering the programmatic pact with United We Can. He recalled that together they only have 155 deputies and appealed to the "general interest" over the interest of the parties. His intervention envisioned the will of the Executive to approve the 2021 accounts with a broader majority and not be limited only to the investiture block (Podemos, PNV, ERC and others), despite the reproaches of these partners. In fact, Sánchez made it clear that he will fulfill his commitment to a dialogue table with the ERC, but that the situation left by the pandemic forces "transversal agreements", which must be reflected, above all, in the budgets.

The spokesperson for the Executive and Finance Minister, María Jesús Montero, today placed the Government in this new lane opened by Sánchez and expanded it to convey that the agreement with Podemos must have "adaptability" to join other political groups and face the reconstruction of Spain, after the economic and social consequences of the coronavirus. It is not a matter of modifying it, she said, but of reorienting it, of "prioritizing and therefore adapting it to the demands and circumstances of the moment"

Montero has insisted that, as the president said, they are willing to speak to all the political forces that "feel called to participate" in the preparation of next year's accounts, which will be informed by the conclusions of the parliamentary commission, opened in Congress on rebuilding the country. "There has never been a more suitable time for us all to agree than after this pandemic." "Now or never" he pointed out because "no element is above the general interest".
