In the absence of Pedro Sánchez, the control session of the Government has been dispersed into a range of issues: from the remnants of the Town Halls, to the approach of prisoners, the possible imputation of Iglesias, the Budgets, the statements of the prosecutor Luis Navajas. .. and the reform of the Penal Code to lower the penalties for the crimes of rebellion and sedition.
And it was precisely the Minister of Justice, Juan Carlos Campo, who in a response to the JxCAt deputy, Laura Borrás, announced that the pardons requested by those convicted of sedition after 1-O, "will begin to be processed the week that comes".
"Those that worry you because they touch you," said Campo, who has defended the "independence of Justice."
"We are fully willing to dialogue because it is the way to resolve political conflicts," added the minister, thus paving the way for the negotiation table on the conflict in Catalonia, despite the fact that it still has no date for its celebration.
Specifically, of those convicted by the procés, there are two requests for pardon: that of the former counselor Dolors Bassa and that of the former president of the Parliament, Carme Forcadell.
Much less precise has been the head of the Treasury, María Jesús Montero, when from the PP, Deputy Carolina Spain, has urged him to specify on what date the Government will send the General State Budget project to the Chamber.
Montero has limited himself to assuring that it will be "much earlier" than what former minister Cristóbal Montoro did when he presented his latest accounts for the nation, those that today, at least on paper, are still in force and are on the way to be extended a third time.
Montero has assured that his Budgets will be "unpublished" because the situation in the country is experiencing due to the Covid pandemic requires it and they will follow lines that will not coincide at all with those designed by the popular when they faced the financial crisis.
In this case, he assured, they will turn to social spending.
Before her, the first vice president, Carmen Calvo, has indicated the future of tax increases that will foreseeably contemplate the public accounts by assuring, in response to the PP spokesperson, Cuca Gamarra, that Spain needs to design a "fair taxation" to face the needs of the country and has ruled out at a stroke the formula for lowering rates and taxes advocated by the PP because in his opinion an equation that advocates tax cuts and increased spending is impossible.
The face to face between the second vice president, Pablo Iglesias, and the general secretary of the popular, Teodoro García Egea, has remained in a mere Florentine duel, in which the number three of the Government has sentenced that the popular will never sit down again in the Council of Ministers.
A prediction that in his opinion also serves for Vox, a party that calls Iglesias "unworthy."
"There is no bow to hide so much indignity," Macarena Olona has snapped.
Against both forces, according to Iglesias, "the Spanish will resist and defend democracy."
From Ciudadanos, Edmundo Bal, has insisted on the need to set up a committee of experts to detect the mistakes made during the pandemic and set the course for what should be done to avoid "a third wave" of the virus.
Bal has asked Illa to mediate between the Government and the parties that support him so that they cease their "harangue" against the Community of Madrid and "not divide" the Spanish.
Illa has assured that the commission that will review the management of the Covid will be created, "but at the right time."
"Now," he said, "it is time for combat."
