The President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, will return tomorrow to the Senate’s control session after ten months of absence to submit to questions from the PP on the Koldo case, from the ERC on the commitments with Catalonia and from the BNG on the railway system of Galicia. It will be the first time that Sánchez will go to the control of the Upper House during this legislature, and there will be a question from the spokesperson of the PP, Alicia García, about the investigations into Koldo García, former adviser to José Luis Ábalos.
Precisely, tomorrow the full Senate will give the green light to the PP investigation commission on the Koldo case, in which the popular people do not rule out asking the Prime Minister himself to appear.
In any case, the spokeswoman for the PP will have the first opportunity this Tuesday to ask Sánchez about the information about the mask plot and about other matters, such as the foreseeable approval of the Amnesty bill this week in Congress.
Likewise, the ERC spokesperson in the Senate, Sara Bailac, will question Sánchez for the commitments made by his Government in Catalonia, a week after the agreement reached by the PSOE, Junts and ERC on the proposed Amnesty law . And the BNG senator, Carme da Silva, will ask him about Galicia’s railway services.
The last time that Sánchez attended a control session of the Government in the Senate was on May 16, 2023, in the midst of the regional elections campaign, in which he had a face-to-face meeting with the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, who at that time was a senator. Subsequently, Sánchez called the elections on May 29 and the Courts were dissolved until August 17, when they were reconstituted with an absolute majority of the PP in the Senate.
After that, the Upper House held control sessions, even with the government in office, although Sánchez did not attend.
After being invested in mid-November, the Senate has continued to hold government control sessions without the presence of Sánchez, except for the month of January, which is considered incompetent and only a full session was held for constitutional reform.
And the first control session of the Government in the Senate of the year 2024 was on February 6, in which the head of the Executive was also not present. Sánchez will break this dynamic, since the Government has informed the parliamentary groups that the Prime Minister will be present at the Control Plenum held tomorrow in the Upper House.
