  • Pacto.Pedro Sánchez seals the approach to Citizens and points to the Budgets: "Cross-sectional agreements are necessary"

Tensions between the ERC and the PSOE return due to the approach of the Government and Citizens. The independence formation chaired by Oriol Junqueras has confirmed that on Thursday it will vote against the decree to regulate the "new normal" after the Executive has preferred to reach a consensus with the formation led by Inés Arrimadas to continue exploring the way of agreement with the

"We are installed in the no because the government has not wanted to negotiate the decree with us. If the PSOE wants to play variable geometry with a right-wing party such as Ciudadanos, it does not count on us. And we would like to know what it thinks of This United We Can ", said the ERC spokesperson, Marta Vilalta , to clarify the meaning of her vote and explore the differences between the members of the Executive.

The also deputy secretary general of the republican formation has warned Pedro Sánchez that his consolidated flirtation with Citizens is on the way to prevent, also, the ERC's support to the General State Budgets. "It is incompatible, completely impossible, to seek the support of Citizens and ERC" to the accounts, Vilalta has maintained, aware that Sánchez wants to have the liberal training to approve the accounts, as she clarified last week when defending "cross-cutting.

"We represent different models of society and we are in ideological antipodes," stated the spokeswoman for the separatist party, which has its main adversary in Catalonia in the orange formation . Not in vain Ciudadanos won the Catalan regional elections after 155 after a fight of you to you with ERC.

However, the Republicans do not pass on the threat to Sánchez, they leave a generous crack open for the pact with the Government, knowing that they need to reactivate the independence negotiating table to avoid the furious attacks by JxCat, who eagerly awaits the forum. capsized to emphasize that ERC erred in keeping Sánchez in La Moncloa in exchange for a negotiation with no future and taking advantage of this electoral trick in the upcoming regional campaign.

Hence, Vilalta has invited the Government to recover "an ecosystem favorable to the resolution of the political conflict between Catalonia and the Spanish State" if it wants to count on its support for the Budgets: "It will be necessary for the table to advance with honest dialogue and to have Results. If this way is opened, ERC will sit down to negotiate useful Budgets for the citizenship ".

Citizens: "What a joy!"

The removal of ERC from the Government has been held at the national headquarters of Ciudadanos. The liberal formation understands that its "outstretched and demanding hand" and its pacts with the Executive of Pedro Sánchez alienate its most radical partners from the Government, as the latest ERC movement seems to indicate.

The deputy spokesman for Citizens in Congress, Edmundo Bal, held at a press conference that ERC "gets angry" with the Government for having negotiated and agreed with the orange formation the decree that regulates the new normality .

"What a joy!" Bal literally said at the press conference after the Standing Committee, when asked about it. "Gabriel Rufián, Andoni Ortuzar and Iñigo Urkullu are angry at us. That is why Ciudadanos does it well," Bal said, referring to the ERC spokesman in Congress, the PNV president and the Basque Lehendakari .

Bal has boasted that Inés Arrimadas has turned "a group of 10 deputies into the most important parliamentary group at this time of the epidemic. We are the ones who have really rolled up our sleeves, put ourselves to work and have made important commitments to the Government with Spanish citizenship. "

As they defend in the leadership of Cs, the frontal opposition to the Government practiced by the PP or, to a greater extent, Vox, unites and strengthens the PSOE coalition with Podemos and also with its nationalist investor partners. The same sources defend that the "outstretched and demanding hand" of Cs not only agrees improvements for citizens, but weakens Pedro Sánchez's agreements with his partners.

Today, Bal has claimed the support of Cs for the six extensions of the state of alarm because this was "the only tool" that allowed to confine the population throughout the country and contain the spread of the virus.

In contrast, he explained that ERC put on the table to negotiate the fifth extension of the state of alarm "the reactivation of the table of shame and blackmail", which "neither saves lives nor saves jobs," Bal emphasized.

"They are playing with the lives of citizens to achieve their fanatical ideas that only represent part of the Catalan citizenry and an infinitesimal part of the Spanish population," he concluded.
