Point and end, after the hard drink. Or, at least, full stop. “We are fixing a problem by correcting the undesired effects of the law of only if it is yes, after the vote in Congress it will be approved in the Senate next week and it will be a reality shortly”, they settle in Moncloa after the staged fracture between the PSOE and Unidas Podemos for the reform, hand in hand with the PP, which, in any case, they consider “an iconic law of the legislature.”
The Socialists shrug off the matter, they do not see the coalition government or the majority of the investiture at risk of rupture, they emphasize that there are already 209 legislative initiatives approved in this mandate, they put all the spotlights on 28-M and direct all his heavy artillery against the right. Already definitively focused on the campaign for the appointment with the municipal and regional polls – on Thursday in Doñana and Córdoba, yesterday in Toledo, today in Úbeda and tomorrow in Fuenlabrada, without respite – that is exactly the strategy deployed by Pedro Sánchez. The president tried yesterday to turn the uncomfortable page of the clash in the coalition for the reform of the law on Sexual Freedom, which he did not even mention, to make a banner of the work of the Government. “Our best guarantee is our management,” said Sánchez at the rally that he led yesterday in Toledo.
“The left, when it governs, we manage the economy much better than the right,” stressed the chief executive. “That taboo is being broken,” he celebrated.
After the pandemic, and in the midst of the war in Ukraine, Sánchez vindicated his management to “grow more than the main European economies and create jobs like never before, contain inflation better than our European colleagues and balance public accounts.” Also, to reform the pension system and the labor market “with social peace and not with conflict”, as happened to all his predecessors in Spain and Emmanuel Macron now suffers in France. And he puffed up the endorsement of the European Commission: “We are the most advanced government in the execution of European funds.” He also highlighted the warning from Brussels against the claim of the PP in Andalusia, supported by Vox, to regularize irrigation in Doñana. “It is the portrait of the Spanish right: isolated in Europe, entrenched in its arrogance and only with climate denialism and anti-Europeanism as allies of the extreme right of Vox,†he cried.
Sánchez thus charged the inks against the PP, as dictated by the PSOE electoral campaign manual. “This is not about healers, or televangelists, or the apocalypse, which is what the right wing prophesies,†he warned. “This is about, plain and simple, that there is a government that defends what the majority thinks. Because we defend the general interest and not the particular interest of those above, â€he assured.
And he defended, as a service sheet, the revaluation of pensions, the rise in the minimum wage or his reinforced electoral commitment to public housing.
The embers of the fracture between the PSOE and United We Can for the reform of the only yes is yes, however, they still burn. This is how Minister Ione Belarra, leader of Podemos, was in charge of highlighting it yesterday, in an act also held in Toledo. “You have to take care of the coalition,†she demanded. “And those who are not taking care of the coalition – she said, alluding to the PSOE – are those who agree to a setback in women’s rights with the PPâ€. Belarra insisted that her formation does try to “take care of the coalition’s heritage”, while the one who does “harm” is the one who allies with the PP.
Minister MarÃa Jesús Montero later gave the socialist reply to Belarra’s statements: “It is a good government to recognize errors and correct them.”
