• Economy The CEOE warns that "more than fringes" are missing to reach an agreement on pensions

  • Politics Escrivá puzzles unions and employers with the pension reform: "We are as at the beginning"

  • Analysis Pablo Casado to the head of the European Commission: "Sánchez lies to you and it will be up to the PP to fix it"

"There is a strange feeling" in the leadership of the PP for the latest movements of the CEOE. "Some decisions and declarations are not well understood," sources in Genoa, where the wound caused by the president of the employers' association,

Antonio Garamendi

,

still stings

, when he assured that the pardons of the independentists who led the

process

were "welcome" if they contributed to the normalization of the situation in Catalonia. Then he rectified, but the tension is still there.

It was interpreted that the dialectical clash with the employers on account of the pardons accentuated the isolation of the PP in the business world, and the president of the main opposition party, Pablo Casado, answered Garamendi harshly: "They are accomplices who try to say that the pardon is directed to the reunion ".

A few days later, the Popular Party makes the CEOE ugly again.

The discrepancy, in this case, is due to the agreement reached by the business confederation, the unions and the Government of Pedro Sánchez to reform the pension system.

The spokeswoman for the Popular Parliamentary Group in Congress, Cuca Gamarra, pointed out this Tuesday that this reform "is contradictory to what was agreed by the political parties in the Toledo Pact."

The appearance of Escrivá

In a press conference in the Lower House, the deputy pointed out to those who have starred in the agreement that their proposals "have not even been sent" to that parliamentary commission "for prior discussion" by the parliamentary groups, as is customary. within the Toledo Pact.

The

popular

leader's criticism

was very clear, and included all those involved in the new reform of the pension system: "We are concerned that what this rule seeks is to repeal the reform of the Popular Party," Gamarra emphasized.

The PP has therefore requested the appearance of the Minister of Social Security, José Luis Escrivá, in the Congress of Deputies, to account for the scope of the pact.

Not surprisingly, the

popular

think that, in most cases, the measures of the agreement are "announcements and not reforms", since they "do not materialize" in anything.

This criticism of the PP to the unions, the Executive and CEOE - the one who most misses in Genoa that he accepts the measures - takes place a few hours before Casado faces again with Antonio Garamendi.

A meeting this Thursday

Both will share the inauguration, this Thursday, of an event on freelancers organized by

Lorenzo Amor

, president of ATA and also vice president of the CEOE.

In that act, the thaw or the extent of the distance between the two could be verified.

Although they share liberal recipes, the relationship between the employers and the main opposition party suffers at a time when the CEOE has already reached 10 agreements with the Government, nine of them with the Minister of Labor, Yolanda Díaz, and the latter with José Luis Escrivá.

With this climate, the weighty voices in the Popular Party intensify that ask Casado to "reinforce" Genoa with the appointment of a kind of shadow economic vice president.
