There are still pending tasks between Government partners.

This is how it is seen, at least, by the minority member of the Executive.

Negotiations for the next General State Budgets have started, Podemos has specified its demands on the PSOE, with the tax reform as a major requirement.

The

purple ones

, in addition, intend to enforce point by point the Government agreement agreed with the Socialists. To do this, they will continue to "press" to raise the minimum interprofessional wage (SMI) and approve the regulation of rents in the future Housing Law. Also repeal the labor reform, as promised by the Second Vice President and Minister of Labor, Yolanda Díaz.

They are obligations "of the first order", says

Javier Sánchez Serna

, member of the Coordination Council of Podemos and leader of training in the Region of Murcia.

In an interview with Europa Press this Monday, he considered "late" delaying the tax reform until 2023, given that the crisis derived from the pandemic has revealed "the weaknesses of the welfare system" and it is urgent to reach an agreement regarding the new budget accounts.

The

purple

proposal

, in line with the latest proposals from the OECD, involves raising corporate tax to 15%, as stated in the Government pact.

"Podemos is in that position of common sense of the time and that is how we are going to transfer it in the negotiation of the General State Budgets", has influenced Sánchez Serna, who hopes that the PSOE will position itself in the same line, despite the fact that until the date the socialist wing of the government - including the president, Pedro Sánchez - has ruled out addressing the tax reform in the short term.

"Essential" upload the SMI

The spirits in Podemos do not decline because in other scenarios they have achieved the loan of their partner.

This is the case of the SMI.

We can claim to raise it to 60% of the minimum wage - it is "essential", says Sánchez Serna - and, in recent days, the Minister of Economic Affairs, Nadia Calviño, opened the door to raise it 10% in this legislature.

Of all the demands, regulating rental prices is the one that has caused the longest time of friction and tension between government partners.

The negotiation on the future Housing Law has been stuck for more than half a year at this point in the text.

The arrival of Raquel Sánchez to the Ministry of Transport made a good impression among the

purple

ranks

, given her favorable position in her time as mayor of Gavá.

However, despite the fact that contact between parties has been resumed to continue negotiating the law, a middle ground has not yet been reached.
