The Government suffers another defeat, this time due to non-appearance. And once again due to the refusal of Junts to enter into the President’s political game. Pedro Sanchez. The Council of Ministers decided this Tuesday to delay the vote on the deficit trajectory in Congress and thus avoid it realizing that it is not able to approve it, which implies keeping pending the approval of the general state budgets for 2025. In this way, the number three of the PSOE is evident, Santos Cerdan, who went to Switzerland this weekend to convince Carles Puigdemont that Junts had to approve the deficit trajectory.
The socialist dependence on Junts is total and the independentists, led by Puigdemont, are very clear that what matters is not the governability of Spain but the particular conditions of formation and in favor of the Generalitat, now in the hands of Salvador Illa (PSC).This is what Puigdemont told Cerdán in Switzerland and he remembered it Jordi Turull, Secretary General of Junts, this Monday from Girona, when he said that in terms of financing, they would not support measures that consolidate “coffee for all”, such as the accounts for 2025 that do not envisage privileges for Catalonia.
The number two of Junts stressed yesterday that on Thursday they would vote again against the deficit ceiling in the plenary session of Congress if the government did not modify the proposal. “We have said it clearly. If the same proposal that was voted against is presented, They will obviously vote against it. If it is amended, the amendment will be analyzed and the vote will be decided. “No one should be surprised,” he said, ending the negotiations before the meeting of the Council of Ministers this Tuesday, which decided, as the Ministry of Finance pointed out, to withdraw the proposal that will be voted on this week.
In this sense, Turull clarified that the responsibility for approving the general budgets of the State lies solely with the Executive and not with the Junt. “No one should be surprised: all that means consolidating “coffee for all” or anything that worsens the deficit of Catalonia will never have our vote,” he stressed, reports Ep. And he added pressure to the socialists by demanding that Illa and the PSC put pressure on the PSOE so that the deficit ceiling is more favorable to the Generalitat: “Our priority is to serve the citizens of Catalonia. Their principle is that Pedro Sánchez has a serene legislature.”
