Everything is ready for the inauguration of Pedro Sanchez

It was already known that it would be the most difficult agreement ever: after the “easy” rapprochement between the Socialist Workers’ Party led by Pedro Sánchez, Somar (a breakaway from Podemos), and several groups of Basque and Catalan regionalists and independents (from the Republican Left of Catalonia, ERC), Negotiations with Carles Puigdemont’s party in Catalonia will be intense.

And that’s exactly what happened. After the Socialist Workers’ Party signed the so-called amnesty law agreement with the ERC, Gontz remained tight-lipped. Not because of the law itself – imposed by Puigdemont – but because the party was the ideological opposite (or nearly so) of the Socialists, Menfi had great difficulties in convincing his party to agree to support the Socialist Workers’ Party.

But after several days of meetings and disagreements, the Spanish press reported that the PSOE and the Greek Workers’ Party were finalizing negotiations to reach an agreement that would allow the inauguration of the socialist leader and the current interim head of government. The Secretary-General of the Catalan Party, Jordi Turol, and the head of the parliamentary group, Albert Patet, returned to Brussels on Sunday to conclude the negotiations, El Pais newspaper reported.

At the same time, the head of the Popular Party, Alberto Núñez Viejo, encouraged mobilization against the Pedro Sánchez Accords and pro-independence forces. He said, reported by the press, to hundreds of demonstrators who gathered in the capital of Valencia: “We will not stand idly by, we will not remain silent.” “They are changing the rule of law for a nation of a different class. “This is a democratic absurdity,” the popular leader said. Nothing was done: by inviting Sánchez after he had invited him himself, without any practical results, King Felipe VI opened the doors of Spanish politics to a solution similar in every way to the bizarre one. Or perhaps almost: that strange, now unnecessary (at least for the moment) “Portuguese-style” approach did not accommodate parties that were, from the beginning, in serious ideological disagreements with each other. Now, these differences exist between the PSOE and the PT in Catalonia – something that can only be noticed in the courts, especially when state budget choices are at stake.

Meanwhile, the Secretary General of the PSOE, Santos Cerdán, celebrated the “strong support” for the socialist struggle of Secretary General Pedro Sánchez, following the “clear and clear” results of the consultations on investment agreements. The socialist bases ratified their support for the agreement with Soumar and the pro-independence parties, with 87.13% of the votes.

Also according to the newspaper “El Pais”, several members of the parties involved – the national spokeswoman for the Galician Nationalist Bloc (“home of Vigo”), Ana Ponton, and the Deputy Secretary General of the PSOE and interim Finance Minister, María Jesús Montero will sign the Pedro Sánchez investment agreement on Monday. The agreement, announced by the two parties, is scheduled to be launched in Madrid at 1:30 pm. The sole representative of the Galician nationalists, Nestor Rigo, will support the Socialist’s candidacy in exchange for financial compensation to Galicia similar to what happened to Catalonia.

The Spanish press reported that the result of consultations in the Socialist Workers’ Party of Asturias – where 17% of militants voted against the investiture agreements and about 50% abstained – was the main surprise of the consultations with militants in which the socialist bases ratified the constitution. A government investment agreement with Somar and negotiations with the nationalist and independence parties. Asturias is one of the three independent regions in which the Socialist Workers Party retained the presidency after the disaster of May’s regional elections, and its Socialist Union has always been among the regions most sympathetic to Pedro Sanchez. But it has now become, along with Castile-La Mancha and Aragon, one of the regions where rejection of the PSOE leader’s strategy was loudest. However, even in these unions discontent did not reach 20% of the vote.
