The Government hopes that the independence movement values ​​the urgency of the Batet maneuver in official secrets

• Bildu Congress, ERC, Junts and the CUP manage to enter the secrets commission thanks to the change of rules promoted by Batet

• Politics The Government activates a regulatory change in Congress to sneak ERC and Bildu into official secrets

Until they saw the votes on the screen, many in the PSOE and the Government bloc did not breathe a sigh of relief.

"We can't relax";

"We cannot trust each other" were phrases that were repeated throughout the day on Wednesday.

The tight vote and the experience of the chaotic approval of the labor reform -which went ahead thanks to the mistake of a vote by a PP deputy- made prudence the predominant note.

This time, the accounts tallied and the expected support was confirmed, despite the rudeness of formations such as ERC for the case of espionage against independence leaders.

The

was overcome thanks to Bildu, but not without difficulties.

Having overcome the scare and completed the threat of the Catalan republicans, now in the Government they hope that the independence movement will value and consider the haste arranged by La Moncloa and by Meritxell Batet, president of the Congress, to carry out the maneuver that has allowed them to "imminent and immediate" to be members of the official secrets commission in just three days since this purpose was made firm.

The Congress voted this Wednesday the entry into this body of the representatives of parties such as ERC, Bildu,

or the

They all got the green light by exceeding the required 176 votes.

The last three games will be seated for the first time in this commission where, for example, matters related to the

Specifically,

EH Bildu),

(ERC),

(Junts) and

(CUP) will be able to attend.

The express modification of the rule promoted by Batet, at the suggestion of the Government itself, abolished the requirement in force since 1982 to attract the support of three-fifths of the Chamber (210 votes), which forced a consensus between the PSOE and the PP, and it was replaced by the new requirement of reaching only 176 votes.

«The Government has shown its maximum predisposition to explain the

and to expedite the constitution of the official secrets commission.

That, in

has to be valued and they must be aware, ”explain government sources.

Although it is taken for granted that there is nothing to do with Junts and the CUP, they hope that ERC and Bildu do value the gesture and the decision to circumvent the PP's veto so that they have access to issues related to the country's national security.

Both in La Moncloa and in the PSOE they hope that the tension with nationalism will be able to deflate and that the celebration in the next few days of the first meeting of the official secrets commission, with the presence of the director of the CNI to give explanations about espionage, help to redirect a relationship in which distrust now predominates.

“We have a very clear conscience.

We are calm », is the message that La Moncloa sends.

"The Government is taking steps in transparency to find out what is true in the information that

gave and it is important to continue with the dialogue and the steps that have been taken so far," they add from the Government.

In the Executive, they believe that the legislature is releasable with the support of the nationalists despite the prevailing tension.

Two ways are a priority for this: hold the first meeting of the official secrets commission and recompose the dialogue with the governance partners.

Hence, in socialist sectors, the temperament and harshness of the responses of the Defense Minister, Margarita Robles, this week in the Senate and Congress to the Catalan independentists caused surprise.

The order is outstretched hand.

This is how they summarize it in the PSOE: "Act with political maturity to try to restore communication between the groups in Congress to promote the remainder of the legislature."

From the socialist ranks, even, they did not hesitate to highlight the "responsible" position, even of "sense of State" and "high-mindedness" of Bildu.

“You can agree or disagree with its postulates, but a group like Bildu exercises greater responsibility and a sense of state than some who fill their mouths with tambourine, mask, commission and wristband patriotism all day long,” The socialist spokesman in the Joint Commission of the European Union,

, wrote on social networks .

"Bildu showing more sense of State than PP and Vox," reflected the deputy for Madrid

The parliamentary fragility of the Government makes each determining vote a kind of torture rack due to the demands and notices of breach of trust from partners such as ERC, Bildu or the PNV.

The Executive, which has important laws in its portfolio to push forward in Congress -such as the law of only yes is yes;

audiovisual law;

trans law;

that of historical memory...- assumes that it is a legislature of «law to law», of negotiations «day by day».

The Government and the PSOE have mobilized to try not to lose ties with the nationalists, but at the same time they want to convey that they remain open to pacts with the PP.

"The Government of Spain wants to reach agreements with the PP," said the Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero.
