The PDeCAT, an unexpected gift for Pedro Sánchez: its 4 deputies give new options to approve the Budgets

• Catalonia: Arrimadas urge to recover the constitutional unity of September 6 and 7 with a joint list in Catalonia

PDeCAT declares itself free of all ties to recover its pactist tradition after its final divorce with Carles Puigdemont and Pedro Sánchez does not attend the events.

Four of the eight JxCat deputies are loyal to the Convergència heir formation, they have not broken the card and repudiate the position of blocking the Government that the fugitive has imposed in

.

They have already declared themselves willing to negotiate the General State Budgets, granting the chief executive an unexpected gift that broadens his options to see the accounts approved.

The autonomy of the four PDeCAT deputies could even allow Sánchez to explore a previously non-existent budget majority, in which neither Ciudadanos nor ERC appear.

For this, it would be necessary to add to the four neo-convergent votes, those of Podemos, the PNV, Más País, Compromís, the BNG, Nueva Canarias, the Regionalist Party of Cantabria and Teruel Existe.

In addition, it would need the collaboration of Bildu.

With the favorable votes of the Basque radicals, he would climb up to 177 parliamentarians.

His abstention would force Sánchez to collect more abstentions in the bench of no.

A pact that would allow Cs and ERC to be dispensed with

The eventual support of the four PDeCAT deputies for the Budgets opens a nonexistent path, which would allow Sánchez not to depend on Ciudadanos or ERC.

• 177 Yeses

  : PSOE (120), Podemos (35), PNV (6), Bildu (5), PDeCAT (4), More Country (2), Compromís (1), BNG (1), NC (1) PRC ( 1) and Teruel Exists (1)

• 173 Noes

  : PP (88), Vox (52), Cs (10), JxCat (4), ERC (13), CUP (2), Navarra Suma (2), Canary Islands Coalition (1) and Asturias Forum (1)

The PDeCAT not only offers new avenues for the approval of the accounts, but also goes to negotiation without crossed vetoes, which could also allow Sánchez to add it to an eventual agreement in which Ciudadanos would appear.

Yesterday, the sons of Convergència were already willing to "analyze" a pact in which the liberal formation would appear, provided that their contributions were limited to "economic measures and did not include as a condition that there is no dialogue table", a A requirement that PDeCAT cannot compromise with if it intends to survive the discrediting campaign that Puigdemont intends to deploy in the electoral campaign to try to make them disappear from

Sánchez will run into a PDeCAT eager to recover the old convergent gene.

"We are going to do politics again", sources of the formation wield to this newspaper.

"The intention is to recover the spirit of the motion of censure," they add.

It should be remembered that before being beheaded by Puigdemont,

, then general coordinator of PDeCAT, supported the motion of censure against Mariano Rajoy with her back to the fugitive from Justice, who returned Sánchez to La Moncloa, in a final service to the pactist tradition Catalan moderate nationalism.

Now, the PDeCAT deputy intends to lead a long-awaited revenge against Puigdemont, trying to extract counterparts from Sánchez in exchange for his support for the Budgets that allow demonstrating to the nationalist electorate the need to recover the pragmatism that brought so many concessions to Catalonia at the time of

.

The possible collaboration of PDeCAT and the PSOE may also oblige ERC to collaborate with the approval of the accounts -even with an abstention- if they want to disassociate themselves from the blocking position of Puigdemont and discuss the role of achievers with the heirs of Convergència, that until now they played alone.

"It is normal that the Government wants to negotiate with the deputies of the Pure Convergència, who are more inclined to engage in politics," admitted Gabriel Rufián, the Republican spokesman in Congress.

For Sánchez - who has already advanced his willingness to negotiate Budgets with PDeCAT - a pact with the neoconvergents can be doubly beneficial.

Not only would it seek a new partner to deepen its fondness for variable geometry, it would also reinforce the electoral options of the more moderate Catalan nationalism with a view to the regional elections.

It would contribute to continue "deflating"
