The Married Panel consolidates its majority and Sánchez stagnates before the irruption of Yolanda Díaz
Analysis Yolanda Díaz blows up the government minefield, by Lucía Méndez
The flames of the fire within the Government have lost some intensity during the weekend, but the fire continues. Labor reform is a nuclear issue. It really is a sticking point. Two partners with different interests or approaches. "It is a delicate moment," confirms Vice President Yolanda Díaz, hours before the follow-up table of the coalition agreement meets - it will do so this afternoon - with the labor reform as the central theme. Although they try to calm the waters, the tension remains: "There is a part of the Government that does not want to change the model of the labor market," says Díaz.
The letter on Thursday night from the first vice president Nadia Calviño where it transpired that she was taking command of the negotiation of the labor reform and the announcement of a lawsuit by United We Can against Meritxell Batet, president of
Congress
, for withdrawing her seat , it was gasoline. A weekend of calls between partners to temper spirits and the realization that finally there will be no lawsuit against Batet have lowered the decibels, but the tension is still latent.
"There is a part of the Government that continues to discuss the contents" of the labor reform to this day, was Diaz's message to the socialist part of the Government. In the economic sector of the PSOE, it is suspicious of the depth of Diaz's negotiation with the social agents and of his predisposition to prioritize the calendar and not the pact, that is, to carry out the reform before December 31 with or without an agreement with the
CEOE
- as already happened with the rise in the minimum wage. The PSOE wants an agreement yes or yes with the CEOE.
From the second vice presidency they explain that it is not a question of leadership or "egos", after what they consider an "interference" by Calviño or Pedro Sánchez's support for it to coordinate the work. They insist that it is a matter of "content" and that they have been working since mid-March. "It is not a question of who leads, but of what we are going to do in the main reform of the labor market," said Díaz, visiting
Galicia
this Monday
.
The
purple ones
resemble this struggle to that experienced with the rise in the minimum wage, because at first the economic sector of the PSOE was opposed. The nuance is that on that occasion Sánchez supported Díaz and now he has aligned himself with Calviño. The pulse, therefore, is almost direct Díaz-Sánchez, who have not yet spoken to each other.
The struggle is clear between the positions of the PSOE and those of United We Can.
Hence, leaders of both formations sit down this afternoon to stage unity, because the field work is done in the back room, in the calls and exchanges of views in the last hours between
Félix Bolaños
, Minister of the Presidency,
Adriana Lastra
, Deputy Secretary general of the PSOE,
Yolanda Díaz herself
and
Ione Belarra
, minister and leader of Podemos.
Appointment without Díaz or Calviño
Diaz will not attend the meeting between partners, visiting Galicia. Yes, his chief of staff,

Neither will Calviño.
On the part of the PSOE, the Minister of the Presidency,
Félix Bolaños
;
the head of the Treasury,
María Jesús Montero
;
the PSOE spokesperson in Congress,
Héctor Gómez
, and the
PSOE
number two
,
Adriana Lastra.
Díaz wanted to remind the socialists that what was signed in the government pact does not only concern the coalition partners, but is backed by the governance partners, those who support the Executive - the nationalist and minority forces in Congress. -
The crux of the matter is the depth of the measurements.
How far it goes, since both government partners admit that the repeal as such of the reform is not viable, but it is possible to dismantle the aspects that they consider most harmful.
What does the PSOE-United Podemos Government pact say?
"We will repeal the labor reform. We will recover the labor rights taken away by the labor reform of 2012. We will promote the protection of workers within the framework of social dialogue and we will recover the role of collective agreements."
Of course, it limits the areas of action, not contemplating a complete demolition of the reform.
It speaks to amend
Article 42.1
of the
Statute of Workers
, repeal "the possibility of dismissal for absenteeism caused by sickness, repeal" the limitations on the temporal scope of the collective agreement, making it
reach beyond the provisions contained therein, after the expiration of its validity and until the negotiation of a new one "; or repeal" the applicative priority of company agreements over sectoral agreements ".
What does Spain's commitment to
Brussels say
regarding European funds, the so-called
component 23
? "The Spanish labor market has dragged significant imbalances for decades that aggravate economic cycles, weigh down productivity increases, increase precariousness and deepen social, territorial and gender gaps. In order to promote inclusive and sustainable growth from the point of view of From an economic and social point of view and guaranteeing legal security, a balanced and coherent package of reforms must be tackled through social dialogue to reduce structural unemployment and youth unemployment, reduce temporary employment and correct the duality of the labor market, increase employment investment in human capital, modernize collective bargaining instruments and increase the effectiveness and efficiency of public employment policies ". And a series of reforms are detailed.
With this outlook, is the government coalition in danger?
All the governmental sources consulted indicate that it is not.
"The blood will not reach the river."
They also point out that there is no extreme gravity as shown by the fact that Díaz and Sánchez have not yet seen the need to personally address the matter.
