Pedro Sánchez delays Yolanda Díaz and does not specify the meeting on the coalition pact

• Draft bill Sánchez will trust Bolaños with the official secrets and not Defense

• Sánchez Coalition summons its coalition partners to settle the differences: "I am sure that Yolanda Díaz will reach the elections"

The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, has avoided setting a date for the "urgent" meeting between the coalition partners demanded by the second vice president.

Yolanda Díaz demanded the meeting after the Executive announced the increase in the Defense budget of 2,000 million without the knowledge of Podemos.

At a press conference with the Albanian prime minister,

, during the closing of his tour of the Western Balkans, Sánchez limited himself to saying that he is "favorable" to holding this meeting without further ado.

He did not clarify if it will take place before the vacation break, which seems complicated, or after.

In any case, the president gave up the urgency with which the vice president requested the meeting, thus lowering her interest.

Nor did Sánchez show greater enthusiasm for specifying how, when and how much the increase in the

will be announced by Díaz for September.

Sánchez only said that it was part of the "social charter" and that the Government would deal with it at the time.

No horizon for sedition reform

The president also did not reveal which two magistrates the Government is going to propose for the Constitutional Court, but he did attack the PP for, in his opinion, the blockade that it maintains in the renewal of the General Council of the Judiciary.

"If a party qualifies as constitutional, it has to comply with the

every day of the year. I call for the opposition party to comply with the Constitution," said Sánchez.

The president insisted that he is in favor of the reform of the crime of sedition, as, according to him, most academics and criminal lawyers in Spain indicate, but that there is no parliamentary majority to carry it forward.

Belarra: Add and We can, different subjects

The general secretary of Podemos and minister of Social Rights and the 2030 Agenda, Ione Belarra, hinted this Monday that she conceives her party and the Sumar platform of the second vice president of the Government, Yolanda Díaz, as different subjects although united and with the latter as candidate, by guaranteeing that "both Sumar and Podemos are preparing to have the best project" ahead of the 2023 general elections.

In an interview on TVE collected by Servimedia, Belarra refused to clarify whether Podemos intends to run in said elections under the formula of the electoral coalition with Sumar, despite the explicit questions that were asked about it.

Instead, he preferred to proclaim that in Podemos they are "happy" and that "it is good news that Yolanda Díaz has already started her project."

The minister also presented her party as "an absolutely strategic electoral ally" and claimed that "the stronger the space that we constitute with 'Sumar' in the next general elections, the faster the changes will come" that in her opinion society needs Spanish.
