• Government: The vice presidency of Pablo Iglesias presses for the Government to prohibit evictions and cuts of basic supplies

  • Congress.ERC puts a price on its support and amends the Budgets of Pedro Sánchez in Defense, Interior, Royal House and Constitutional Court

  • The chronicle. Sánchez accuses the coup of the "set design" Pablo Iglesias and Arnaldo Otegi but censures the 'barons' of the PSOE

In full controversy and political earthquake due to the announcement of EH Bildu, cheered by United We Can, to advance its willingness to support the General State Budgets of 2021, the formation led by Pablo Iglesias distances itself from the PSOE to weave a new alliance beyond Budgets with the party

abertzale

and ERC against the socialists and demand the ban on evictions until December 31, 2022, as well as cutting basic supplies -water, light.-.

The

morados

, through the social vice presidency of Iglesias, tried to take the matter to the Council of Ministers, but given their failure they have chosen to distance themselves from the PSOE and continue their framework of collaboration with the Basque and Catalan independentists.

Although the PSOE and Unidas Podemos are the two formations that make up the coalition government, both parties have presented amendments to their own Budgets in Congress.

But they do not include the paralysis of all evictions and not only those linked to the Covid-19 pandemic.

They are currently prohibited until January 31, but linked to situations of vulnerability due to the virus.

Faced with the refusal of the PSOE to support this demand in the Council of Ministers -sources from Unidas Podemos pointed to the ministers Nadia Calviño or María Jesús Montero as obstacles-, the

purple

have woven a new alliance that has as an addressee, beyond their own measure, to the party of Pedro Sánchez ..

The socialist sector of the Government did not know it

The allusion is direct, because Gabriel Rufián, ERC spokesman, wanted to make clear the lack of the PSOE in this photo with the Catalan Republicans, Bildu and United We Can.

"We have spoken with them, they understand that this amendment is presented. We are convinced that in the parliamentary process we will be able to achieve their contest; now it has not been possible," said

Jaume Asens

, president of the United We Can group.

The fact that this alliance has been made against the socialist sector of the Government is evident in that the spokesperson and Minister of Finance,

María Jesús Montero

, in the press conference after the Council of Ministers, has admitted not knowing the initiative.

"Without knowing her I can't comment on it," he said.

For her part, the Vice President of Economic Affairs,

Nadia Calviño

, with whom Unidos Podemos maintains an always latent tension, has defended that the Government has shown its sensitivity when it comes to guaranteeing access to housing, especially for young people .

In this sense, he wanted to recall the modification of the

Mortgage Credit Law

to strengthen the protection of citizens, the leasing regulations, the treatment of tourist homes ...

Likewise, the economic ministers have put on the table that the

Ministry of Transport

is working on an ambitious housing rehabilitation plan and that it will be an important chapter in the recovery plan.

"And extraordinary measures have been adopted to prevent the evictions of vulnerable people, both in the mortgage and rent fields, until January 31 of next year. I want to highlight that our Government has acted decisively," he said. exposed Calviño.

Assumptions not to evict

The amendment to the Budgets asks to prohibit the evictions of people in vulnerable situations without linking it only to the coronavirus pandemic.

Specifically, it refers to "non-payment of rents; expiration of the lease, in both cases except that the owner is involved in a case of vulnerability; because of precariousness; to make effective registered real rights, regulated in article 250 of the Law of Criminal Procedure; or derived from criminal proceedings related to the use of real estate ".

"In these five cases, the person who is in possession of the home may prove to the court that he lacks a housing alternative for himself and for the people with whom he lives, a circumstance that will be communicated by the Lawyer of the Administration of Justice to the competent social services and an extraordinary suspension of the launching act will begin ", includes the text signed by the three parties.

This circumstance is equally valid to avoid cutting off the supply of electricity, petroleum products, natural gas and water.

The three formations have been working together for weeks on different initiatives.

It has already happened with the request to limit the rent, exhibiting a clear agreement, while the PSOE looks for how to handle the situation that has generated internally that EH Bildu appears as a partner.

Churches and leaders of United We Can, such as

Jaume Asens,

are the ones who put the most effort into this collaboration, since the

purple ones are

not only looking for budgetary support, but also for an agreement or stable collaboration for the legislature.
