United We Can put pressure on Pedro Sánchez and urge him to personally intervene and "put order" in the PSOE in order to close the open dispute over the Trans Law, which yesterday intensified after the socialists allied themselves with the PP in Congress to delay its processing, crossing the

in terms of time.

A day later, the president of the United We Can parliamentary group in Congress,

, has demanded that Sánchez put "things in their place" and has been confident that this will be the case because he has already taken "cards in the matter" at other times.

In an interview in

of Onda Cero, Asens has encouraged the theory that Sánchez was not aware of what his parliamentary group was going to do and that former vice president

would have "scored a goal" with this delay.

However, the decision to extend the term of amendments to the law for another week against the criterion of United We Can was made at the Table of Congress and not at the Table of the Equality Commission, which she chairs.
