• PSOE.Emiliano García-Page: "Podemos is setting the agenda for us. Bildu's does not have a pass"

  • Government.Pedro Sánchez is received with boos upon his arrival in Pamplona after Bildu's support for the Budgets

Pedro Sánchez pushes himself forward.

Towards the precise moment in which the

Government

manages to have approved Budgets.

That day the legislature will come to life.

Meanwhile, pick and shovel, without stopping to look around.

The president does not want interference.

Nothing to reflect on whether or not it is acceptable to agree with EH Bildu on the Budgets, if the PSOE shares it, if its voters or the Spanish support it or if the role of the second vice president, Pablo Iglesias, applauding Ar's decision

naldo Otegi

, has been loyal, institutional, convenient for the coalition The only thing that is truly relevant for Sánchez is that the Chamber

turned down Thursday

the seven amendments to the whole with a stream of votes (198).

It is not bad revenge for a president who called his first elections because the

Congress

he knocked down the accounts in 2019. This data is the only one he noticed yesterday in his speech in

Pamplona

, where he met with the president of Navarra,

Maria Chivite

, with

boo upon arrival

, and presented in society the Government's plan to assume European recovery funds: "Between moving forward or staying as we are, Congress decides to move forward and Spain says goodbye to the past," he said. And while moving forward the president leaves behind the open crisis in the party for the agreements with Bildu.

It has not been a small thing in a PSOE that since the tension of the investiture was a raft of oil, although Sánchez has preferred not to take for granted the higher good that having new Budgets has been seized

Ferraz

in the

round of calls

that the management has been forced to do to calm the waters in the party.

"There is no conflict," they say, despite the fact that these same conversations prove the internal unease.

The president has looked the other way but his team has had to engage in conversations with general secretaries and senior officials.

"There is no longer a conflict," says the management after a round of calls

Ferraz believes that he has cauterized the malaise and he has some reason when yesterday the president of

Castilla la Mancha

,

Emiliano Garcia Page

, whom this address has no control over, was

the only one who spoke

.

The Andalusian PSOE reiterated that "it has nothing to do with Bildu" but supports "absolutely" Sánchez in these "difficult" moments.

Galician socialism also spoke out to give support. In an interview in Ser, García Page assured that Bildu's "does not have a pass" because "it is not in a true normalization process, it was democracy and Spanish society that he won the battle against terrorism, nor have they made a reconciliation process.

Although he does not put a but to the Budgets, the problem, he maintained, is that "the toll that must be paid to get them ahead is painful."

«I see with concern that

We can

He sets the agenda for us and drags us to a corner of the political board, far out of the usual place of the great majority of the PSOE ».

The president of Castilla-La Mancha says that Bildu "does not have a pass"

Page thus pointed directly to a blurred Sánchez, to the detriment of his government partner and second vice president, who has not only put the support of

ERC

and Bildu, but has allowed himself the luxury of exhibiting it and defending these votes as the way that avoids the pact with

Citizens

.

While the Minister of Finance invites them to the agreement, Iglesias dynamites the road. Like others before him, the president of Castilla-La Mancha exposed the two events that have hit the PSOE this week.

One, the pact with Bildu, which internally they admit "we don't like it."

And two, the role of Iglesias who, they emphasize, could have remained "quiet."

Even so, the socialists assume that these are the tributes of a coalition, one day the PSOE compromises and another we Podemos.The mantra that the only important thing is to approve the Budgets has been extended along with arguments from the leadership itself that it cannot be ignored to Bildu because he is in Parliament, because for years he

ETA

he stopped killing and because on many other occasions all the groups have voted with them, pick and shovel until the day that Congress definitively endorses the bills of the legislature.

Almost two months to find out at what exact moment Sánchez will react, if he will respond to Iglesias or will continue to hold on to the votes of ERC and Bildu, if he will resign from Ciudadanos or save her at the last moment.Just one sentence yesterday from Pamplona, ​​very brand of the president , enlightens us: "When one has a vocation, all difficulties are overcome and, with them, you grow."
