• Control session: Pedro Sánchez proposes that the Interterritorial Health Council and not Congress review the state of alarm within four months

The PP is negotiating with all parliamentary groups, except Bildu and the two that support the Government (PSOE and United We Can), to try to reach a consensus on a majority that forces the Executive to be accountable to Congress at least once a month, during the state of alarm of six months (reducible to four) that Pedro Sánchez has decreed.

As EL MUNDO has learned from parliamentary sources, Cuca Gamarra's team has already contacted "everyone except Bildu."

That is, Ciudadanos, ERC, Vox, Junts per Catalunya, the PNV, More Country, Compromis, the CUP, UPN and

.

It is a tactical movement of great importance, inasmuch as it tries to break a majority of support that in

say they are tied and well tied.

"We have the votes and we are generous," they emphasize in Pedro Sánchez's team.

But the PP believes that the proposal that the president appear once a month "can add sufficient support."

"If we all want parliamentary control and six months seems like a long time, there should be an agreement," they say in the PP.

"We are receptive to proposals to add" a majority that will bend the government's hand.

The

have seen an opportunity in the middle way that has been demanded by Más País and Compromís, who ask that Sánchez submit to parliamentary control on a monthly basis.

That will have to be voted on.

The PP will propose today another resolution so that the extension of the alarm is limited to eight weeks and implies accountability at least every month.

In addition, the criticisms of ERC and JxCAT have weight, to whom it seems "abusive" that the Executive is not accountable to the Courts, but that it is the

that reviews the alarm on February 9.

Parliamentary control

"We want there to be parliamentary control, and we study the proposals of the different groups so that there is," say sources from the Popular Parliamentary Group.

"The proposal that the president [go to the Chamber] at least once a month is an option that can add sufficient support, we see it favorably although we would prefer every 15 days," they add.

The PP spokesperson in Congress, Cuca Gamarra, has demanded that Sánchez accept "the sensible and responsible proposal" of the PP to reduce the extension of the state of alarm to eight weeks and that there be a parliamentary control by the Chamber, "not by the councilors of Health ".

And he recalled that Vice President Carmen Calvo promised in the Senate in May a legal reform to avoid the constitutional exception of the state of alarm in the face of a second wave of the pandemic.

"Where is he?" He asked.

The PP demands that Sánchez be the one who appears tomorrow in Congress to request the extension of the state of alarm and reminds him of his appointment of April 28: "We come to Congress because we believe that it is healthy to render accounts every 15 days."
