Ernest Urtasun, spokesperson for Sumar, assured this Monday at a press conference that the negotiations with the PSOE are “stuck” in social matters, with issues such as rent price control or a new regional financing model still to be finalized.
With the leader of Sumar Yolanda Díaz on the verge of meeting with King Felipe VI in the new round of consultations for the investiture of Pedro Sánchez, the main partners of the acting president demand progress in the proposals they already presented in the campaign, such as the reduction of the working day, from 37 and a half hours per week to 32, or the increase in the Minimum Interprofessional Wage to reach 60%.
Urtasun has assured that his party’s complaints “in no case” endanger the pact between the two partners of the current Government, but he has also warned the socialist leader that “no one can ask them for a blank check.”
Sumar remains firm in his idea of ??creating an “ambitious” government and refuses a “short” legislature and a “weak” Executive that they consider Feijóo proposed in his failed investiture attempt.
Díaz’s formation focuses on the creation of new regional financing to progress in the territorial axis, with the idea of ??a plurinational country in mind, another point of contention with the PSOE
Urtasun has also refused to enter into the “speculations” that suggest that Sumar is considering asking for the Health and Housing portfolios, with Aida Vidal, leader of the commons, Mónica García, leader of Más Madrid or Nacho Álvarez, Secretary of State for social rights among the possible candidates.
