• United We Can Government raises the pressure against the PSOE on all fronts

  • The Moncloa government wants to protect Yolanda Díaz's negotiation of the labor reform by sitting other ministries at the table

  • Justice The Constitutional Court does not see a gag in the 'gag law'

The PSOE has raised the discomfort of its allies in the Congress of Deputies by opting to delay again, in principle until next week, the unblocking of the initiative that proposes to reform what is popularly known as the Gag Law.

This is a bill signed by the PNV and has been stuck in the process of submitting amendments for a year.

The parliamentary spokesman for United We Can, Pablo Echenique, urged the PSOE to unblock the proposal last week.

In principle, the Socialists have ensured their commitment to put an end to the amendment extensions next Tuesday and thus allow the initiative to start its parliamentary process at cruising speed.

In this period of time they will try to agree with their partner on a package of amendments.

However, neither the PNV nor the rest of the Government's allies, as well as United We Can, have confidence in the fulfillment of this promise.

The Basque nationalists, as soon as they heard the new postponement, expressed their discomfort.

His parliamentary spokesman,

Aitor Esteban

, was quick to write on his Twitter account: "And once again the terms of amendment to our reform of the gag law are extended, but had they not said that it was unblocked? Anyway."

Returns of immigrants

However, the most worrying attitude is that expressed by United We Can, which no longer shows confidence that its government partner will end up keeping his word.

Furthermore, since the

purple

formation

it is already anticipated that there is no guarantee of going hand in hand with the socialists in most of the amendments to the law.

Both formations keep their swords up, mainly in relation to the hot returns of immigrants without documentation.

In this area, they radically disagree with the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, who has not only continuously used this figure during the Covid-19 pandemic, but also intends to preserve it in the future security law that is approved after the reform.

United We can consider that this type of returns that are practiced on the borders of Ceuta and Melilla with Morocco violate human rights and prevent the reasons of the migrants from being analyzed on a case-by-case basis and processing the corresponding asylum requests.

For Podemos, it is also essential to suppress the sanctions regime that is included in the law right now and that, in his opinion, seeks to "intimidate" citizens and criminalize social protest.

The rest of the conflictive points refer to the demonstrations and protests in the surroundings of the Congress, to the body searches, at the same time that a person can be detained for identification, or to the recordings of the police in the street protests.
