• Negotiation Podemos warns Nadia Calviño that the Budget agreement will not be imminent: "It is far away"

  • Bolaños Congress normalizes the relationship with Bildu

The

Government

formally opened negotiations with EH Bildu on Wednesday to once again seek their support to carry out the Budgets, and it did so in a bilateral meeting in Congress, headed by the Minister of the

Presidency

, Félix Bolaños, who was described as "cordial "And" positive "for the leftist nationalist

party

.

The meeting served to maintain the bridges and bring positions in the accounts and in the legislative agenda that the Government has for the coming months.

However, EH Bildu also took advantage of the occasion to bring up an unforeseen topic.

He urged the Executive to react against "hate speech", a problem that the party led by Arnaldo Otegi attributed exclusively to the "extreme right".

Thus, EH Bildu demanded that the government representatives "adopt a firm attitude to confront and avoid the proliferation and normalization of these messages due to the increasing risk they pose to the rights and freedoms of all citizens", as they highlighted at the end of the meeting. sources of the nationalist party.

EH Bildu's request comes just five days after the formation expressly supported the demonstrations that replaced last Saturday the Henri Parot tribute march that was to take place in

Mondragón

, and that the organizers reformulated in a protest against the laws that are applied to ETA prisoners after political and social pressure so that this act is not held.

It is precisely such support for those convicted of terrorism, as

well as the history of the left -

wing nationalism

with violence, which led to the Popular Party denounced the PSOE was "normalizing the indignity 'meeting to agree with them.

The PSOE and United Podemos already did it last year to approve the first Budgets of Pedro Sánchez and now they aspire to repeat the play to shore up a legislature in which both their votes and those of ERC are being fundamental.

The Executive builds bridges with the groups to approve the Budgets

In one of the votes in which EH Bildu was key to extending the state of alarm, he took from the PSOE the commitment to completely repeal Rajoy's labor reform.

EH Bildu today reminded Bolaños and the other representatives of the Executive that the "fulfillment of the promises and agreements that this Government has contracted in a progressive and leftist key" must take place.

In any case, they promised "a responsible, dialogue, constructive but demanding attitude" and pointed out that there will be no "red lines" but no "blank checks."

Before this meeting, the PNV paraded through the room, which has been secretly working on Budgets for some time.

Aitor Esteban

has adopted a discreet negotiating position.

Without raising his voice or threatening, as ERC did when on Tuesday he announced that he was going to make the government "sweat" because his votes were going to have a price.

Of course the PNV is going to put it, something that is already a tradition in Spanish politics, but it has bet in this case to carry the entire process with stealth, out of the media focus.

In addition, the Government delegation has received in recent days PP, ERC, Ciudadanos,

Junts, PDeCAT

, Más País and Compromís.

The Secretary of State for Relations with the Courts, Rafael Simancas, said that he makes a "positive" balance except with PP and Cs, which have already communicated that they will vote no on the accounts.

Edmundo Bal (Cs) justified that there is a "manifest incompatibility" with the Government's plans and said that they will be "used" to "whitewash" the agreements "that they already have with Bildu and ERC."
