Moncloa ignores Ciudadanos with the labor reform and bets everything on Yolanda Díaz's negotiation with the nationalists

The Government does not want setbacks with the labor reform in the Congress of Deputies, as happened this Tuesday to Vice President Yolanda Díaz, who had to cancel her agenda after testing positive for Covid-19.

Hence, the negotiations are happening and intensifying these days under the maximum of discretion.

, of the nationalists, piloted by the Ministry of Labor, is consolidated

, since La Moncloa and the PSOE have chosen not to make a move, at least for now, ignoring Ciudadanos.

There has not even been an attempt at dialogue with the

, who are resigned: "They will see when they want to call and who they want to call."

The department headed by Díaz has managed to get La Moncloa and the PSOE to respect and validate its purpose that the labor reform go ahead in Congress with the nationalist partners and the minority parties. There are contacts, including face-to-face meetings, especially with ERC, PNV and EH Bildu. "We are taking steps," say sources familiar with the talks. They highlight how the nationalists have moderated their position, from the initial rejection of the reform to considering it insufficient.

In the Government they understand that the parties have to show to their own "that they are trying to fix, change, something, but now they do not criticize the content, they say what is missing."

And that is why the public position is to maintain the negotiating tension.

There they frame statements such as those made this Tuesday by Oriol Junqueras, leader of the ERC, who stated that "if aspects such as processing salaries or labor inspections are not improved, "if these things are not improved, there will be no support from CKD".

The dialogue advances, without PP and Cs

In the case of the PNV, the core is that there is a prevalence of regional agreements over state ones, but from this formation they already assure that "the great nucleus, 95%" of the reform can be saved.

One way to demand regional agreements would be to leave the text of the labor reform intact in exchange for reforming the Workers' Statute.

An agreement with EH Bildu looks more difficult if one of its red lines is to recover the 45-day compensation.

But the dialogue advances "every day" and Díaz strengthens a path that excludes Ciudadanos and the PP.

"We speak with all the parties of the majority of the investiture," they say in Labor, despite the public discomfort of formations such as Más País, which demand that the Government "not rest on its laurels" and negotiate with its partners.

Díaz is gaining ground with a majority that is the bet of United We Can and that does not displease the PSOE, which is waiting to make a move.

"It is important that it move forward supported by the majority that supports the progressive coalition government, to consolidate advances such as those of collective bargaining," the Minister of Consumption, Alberto Garzón, summed up this Tuesday, synthesizing the

thought .

In United We Can consider that breaking the agreement with its nationalist partners with such an important reform could have consequences in the remainder of the legislature and compromise future initiatives in Congress, which would put the achievement of the government's agenda in the eaves.

Cs: "Relative Surprise"

Because despite the fact that La Moncloa, in the figure of the Minister of the Presidency, Félix Bolaños, announced a round of contacts with all the groups, especially to add Ciudadanos, this has not yet taken place. In fact, there has been no hint of dialogue with the

. A fact that gives free rein to the formula of Vice President Díaz.

"Relative surprise", they admit in the Ciudadanos leadership in the absence of a call from La Moncloa, despite the fact that they have offered to negotiate and not hinder the reform, endorsing the Government's thesis of approving it "without touching a single comma".

"We already experienced it in the negotiation of the 2021 Budgets. In the end, Sánchez's priority option is always to close agreements with the investiture partners. That is why they are rushing the deadlines," they reflect from the hard core of Inés Arrimadas.

From the socialist sector of the Government they insist on the appeal to all forces to support this rule, because it is the result of an agreement between unions and employers.

"The parties have to listen to what the social agents want," was again, this Tuesday, the message of Isabel Rodríguez, spokesperson for the Executive.

"Well, what the agents tell us is that they are surprised that the Government has not contacted us," they respond in Ciudadanos, encouraged by businessmen to join.

The

see it as possible for the PSOE to contact them if they are in a hurry.

But they warn: "That we say that, for what could have been, we give ourselves with a song in the teeth, does not mean that we like it or that we give a blank check."
