  • Analysis: From the new to the newest policy in just two years

The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, has asked to appear in the Plenary of Congress to make a first balance of the second state of alarm in force and that was decreed to face the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic.

In addition, Sánchez will take advantage of that plenary session, which is expected to take place on Wednesday, December 16, to give an account of the last three meetings of

the European Council

, in which the heads of state and government of the EU have debated the fight against coronavirus.

Congress approved the extension of the state of alarm from November 9 to May 9, and established that the Chief Executive would attend the Plenary session every two months to detail the data and procedures of the Government of Spain in this exceptional situation.

However, Moncloa has decided to bring forward that appearance, which a priori was expected after the Christmas holidays, and request that the president appear in parliament before the end of the year.

Thus, and taking into account that in December only the third week is scheduled to be Plenary, it is calculated that Sánchez's appearance will be held on Wednesday 16, although it will be the Board of Spokespersons scheduled for next week that sets the specific date .

In addition to talking about the evolution of the coronavirus, the president will also take the opportunity to inform the Chamber of the Extraordinary European Council held on October 1 and 2 and the Ordinary European Councils held on October 15 and 16, as well as the one that is scheduled for December 10 and 11.
