Sánchez will not call Feijóo to negotiate despite the seriousness of the crisis

• Politics Feijóo will present his own energy plan and urges Sánchez to agree with the PP and not with ERC and Bildu

The seriousness of the crisis and the threat of "a very harsh winter" will not lead to a rapprochement between the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, and the leader of the PP and the opposition, Alberto Núñez Feijóo.

It is not among Moncloa's plans that there be a call to the head of the opposition to try to redirect the discrepancies in order to seek a consensus in the face of the energy alert situation.

He declines to take that initiative.

At first, in La Moncloa they believed that with the arrival of Feijóo a door was opened for a better understanding than with Pablo Casado, but the truth is that the bridges have been flown.

And the staging of this summer has only confirmed that a phase of resurgence has opened in the PSOE-PP clash.

The President of the Government and the leader of the PP do not maintain contact, communication, not even through messages.

They saw each other on April 7 in La Moncloa and nothing else.

Sánchez, despite the uncertain horizon that Spain faces

the defense that it has sometimes made of the need for agreements between the big parties, does not plan to call Feijóo.

The head of the Executive considers that communication has to be "bidirectional" and that it is up to the leader of the opposition and not him to take the step, pick up the phone and open a channel of dialogue that now does not exist between the two leaders.

It is a situation of solitary confinement similar to what was already experienced during the times when Casado led the PP.

The two then spent more than eight months without exchanging calls or messages, despite the pandemic.

Finally, that dynamic was broken when on January 26, the then president of the PP got tired of waiting.

He took his cell phone and telephoned Moncloa to discuss Russia's threat to Ukraine with Sánchez.

The invasion had not yet begun, but there was already the warning of an imminent war.

Today he is not Married in the PP but Sánchez's predisposition to call has not changed.

In La Moncloa he angers and annoys that the

oppose the initiatives that they promote to stop the crisis, such as the energy saving decree that this Thursday the Congress validated with the rejection of the PP.

"It's a mistake, a mistake," Sánchez told reporters during his Latin American tour.

The Government and the PSOE undertook a change of strategy regarding Feijóo after the Debate on the State of the Nation.

Since then, a harsher, harsher and more direct tone can be seen against the opposition leader.

A speech that encompasses all the socialist members of the Executive, even with disqualifications or even comparing him to Trump.

They believe in La Moncloa that it is necessary to attack Feijóo from different flanks to try to "dismantle" his leadership and show that the change in the PP "has been for the worse."

And although Sánchez knows that the demoscopy is on the side of the PP, he defends that "there are still many steps to the goal" and that there is time to "unmask" the Galician leader.

Although along the way, the dialectical aggressiveness between the two breaks the bridges of understanding.

Frozen the scene of a call or a meeting, Feijóo reproached the Government this Thursday for preferring to "agree with Bildu or ERC rather than with the PP", apparently this Thursday in Congress, where the agreement with those formations facilitated the validation of the measures decree.

alternative proposal

The PP voted against, although at the same time Feijóo asked to sit down with Sánchez to negotiate a plan.

“We ask the government to sit down to talk not only about frivolous issues such as taking off a tie and telling a merchant to turn off his window at ten at night even though the store is open, but also about energy policy measures,” he said in statements. in

For the

the decree is full of "improvisations" and "frivolities" and contains measures that cause "harm", mainly, to merchants.

Faced with this, Feijóo announced that he will present an alternative proposal to the Government's plan in which he promised that there will be "energy policies" to improve energy production, measures in the tax area or on infrastructures.

The PP has long been influencing that there is a greater use of nuclear weapons and criticizes the Executive for allowing itself to be carried away by "sectarianism".

On the other hand, the PP defended itself against the government's accusation of opposing everything.

This Thursday he supported the Executive to validate the decrees of the self-employed and the fires.
