Yolanda Díaz will vote with Podemos against the reform of the 'yes is yes' of the PSOE but the investiture block is cracking

There will be no fissures in United We Can.

Yolanda Díaz will vote with Podemos against the reform of the

law presented by the PSOE and will also participate in the photo of the division of the government coalition, with the socialists and the

totally at odds.

Until now, the second vice president of the Government and Minister of Labor had maintained an equidistant position in the battle between the

and the PSOE, keeping her specific position on the reform of the Criminal Code hidden and moving only in statements that called for an agreement to be reached unity between the parties and to "take care of the coalition".

But, given her status as a deputy, Díaz has the obligation to take a picture today in the vote in Congress and press the button.

It will be the vote against, like the one that will also press the entire parliamentary group of United We Can, with the ministers included.

In this way, group discipline will prevail in the position that the Ministry of Irene Montero has set.

For

today is going to be a "very sad" day for "women's rights" and "terrible" for March 8.

The spokesman,

, has described the socialist proposal as "nonsense" and has charged against the photo of PP and Vox supporting the text and rising to "applaud" a reform that "goes backwards" in feminist advances.

"We do not hide that it seems to us to be very serious and that we will have to reflect," he said at a press conference.

Words that do not mean that this is going to translate into a departure of United We Can from the Government.

Quite the opposite.

The exit door is closed with a double turn of the key.

Cracks in the investment block

The massive vote that is expected this afternoon in Congress in favor of correcting the law of

-and, consequently, the penalties that this regulation introduces into the Penal Code for sexual assaults- highlights the breakdown of the allies of investiture that on multiple occasions have had the

formation as the unifying nucleus

, which will choose to approve the PSOE bill to reform the law and thus put a stop to future new sentence reductions for sexual offenders.

In this way, the Basque nationalists turn their backs on the minority partner of the Executive, United We Can.

They also move away from the

.

Their representatives in the Chamber, Joan Baldoví and Íñigo Errejón, have announced that the three seats they gather will abstain.

These formations opt for an equidistant position.

They believe it is necessary to look for the formula to avoid sentence reductions and releases, that is, they defend the need to amend Irene Montero's law but refuse to unite their votes with the opposition parties -PP, Vox and Cs- whom they reproach spuriously pretend to raise the flag of feminism.

The

, for its part, also believes that a "measured revision of the interpretative margin" of the Law of Yes is Yes is necessary because it has a defect that gives rise to undesired consequences.

However, its deputy, Nestor Rego, will vote against the reform proposal put forward by the PSOE, considering that it represents an "inadmissible setback" that, moreover, will be supported by the right.

From the BNG, United Podemos and the Ministry of Equality are also reproached for their "closeness" when looking for a way to rectify.

ERC

, the largest group after Unidas Podemos of the investiture bloc, has not revealed the meaning of its vote.

To date, in their public statements they have insisted on the need for the two government partners to reach an agreement and jointly present a proposal to revise the law and correct its unwanted effects, and to this they have added their reluctance to support an initiative sponsored only by one of the parties (PSOE).

However, Esquerra was one of the few groups that, during the law's processing, presented an amendment warning that it could lead to sentence reductions.

The other two Catalan pro-independence formations,

However, its two deputies will vote against the socialist proposal.
