A revulsive, to recover the pulse, retake the initiative, promote the legislature and return to unite the government coalition between the PSOE and United We Can after their latest internal disagreements. Pedro Sánchez is “eagerly” preparing his first debate on the state of the nation, which he will star in Congress starting tomorrow. An appearance that in Moncloa is of importance, and for which expectations are skyrocketing, since they warn that the chief executive will announce a battery of “very powerful, far-reaching and very ambitious economic and social measures.”
The meeting of the monitoring commission of the government pact between the PSOE and United We Can, which Vice President Yolanda Díaz demanded in the face of discrepancies due to the increase in defense spending, however, remains undated. But in Moncloa they minimize the fact that it has not been possible to close the agenda in this regard and highlight that Pedro Sánchez’s own intervention in Congress “is going to give the Government a lot of strength and cohesion to the coalition.”
In Moncloa they keep under lock and key the measures that Sánchez will announce tomorrow, and that are currently being finalized. But they do assure that the objective will be the same as the one that the Government has always deployed, first in the face of the pandemic crisis and then due to the economic and energy consequences of the war in Ukraine: “Protect, protect and protect”, the majority of the middle and working classes, in addition to “modernizing and expanding rights.” The chief executive, they insist, “is going to strengthen the coalition government” with this new catalog of measures.
In addition, these measures and the speech as a whole Pedro Sánchez will deliver during his first intervention in the debate on the state of the nation, assure in Moncloa that “it will give a deep horizon to the remainder of the legislature”. The intention of the President of the Government is to exhaust his mandate, according to his forecast, in December 2023, and to face the change in the political cycle promoted by the leader of the Popular Party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo.
Despite the internal and external turbulence that Sánchez is facing, and the succession of crises that have added wear and tear to his mandate, in Moncloa they are convinced that the three days of debate on the state of the nation that he is going to star in for the first time as chief of the Executive, will be a real shock. “We are going to come out of this debate strong,” they predict.
