In the Government of Emiliano García-Page they lament that the shock wave of the repeal of the crime of sedition has reached the Palace of Fuensalida, seat of the Presidency of

.

And this despite the fact that the socialist baron is one of those who has spoken loudest and clearest against a change that will allow the maximum penalty for actions such as the call for the illegal referendum on independence in

to be reduced from 15 to five years in jail.

The modification of

promoted by La Moncloa after negotiating it with ERC -parliamentary partner of the Executive of Pedro Sánchez- was closed at the end of October, the processing began in Congress at dawn last Friday and is now directly reflected in the electoral expectations of the Castilian-Manchego leader, as recognized by his team.

They attribute to this circumstance that the Sigma Dos survey published this Monday by EL MUNDO predicts that the PSOE could lose one of its traditional regional strongholds before an eventual sum of seats from PP and Vox.

Even so, in the environment of the president of Castilla-La Mancha they trust that, if "in this moment of special difficulty from the political point of view" he manages to maintain 40% of the votes, in the test that really counts, that of the

And to answer the question of whether they still fear that it may have an electoral cost for their initials, they divert the focus towards Calle Génova.

"The PP, as in everything, uses truth measures or complete lies to cover up the fact that it was during his government when the independence referendums, the unilateral declaration of independence and the flight of [Carles] Puigdemont took place in Catalonia. They are not interested in Catalonia and that is why they are a residual party there. They want to win votes at the expense of Catalonia, as they did with the Basque Country in their day. That is not the attitude of a state party, it is the attitude of a party in a constant state of confrontation", ditch from Ferraz.
