He PSOE had to vote with him People’s Party, Voice and Basque and Catalan nationalists to bring down a proposal for Addwith which the communist wing of the government was considering creating a public company to manage the hydroelectric plants. Further proof of the divergences within the Executive of Pedro Sánchez, who saw less than 24 hours ago a text on the reduction of rents due to the vote against another of his parliamentary partners, in this case, Together“More than a coalition, it is a government of collision,” said the spokesman of the Popular Party in Congress. Miguel Tellado.
During the debate on the non-law proposal that includes this proposal, the PSOE spokesperson in Congressional Ecological Transition CommissionMaría de las Nieves Ramírez, has already announced that she is moving away from the Sumar project because, in her opinion, “it is not necessary” to create this company because it would cause “serious delays” in the concessions “to the detriment of the benefit of consumers.” The alternative of Add creating the company from scratch is that it is the current one hunosa the one that assumes the management of the concessions, but this idea was also rejected by the PSOE because the companies of the SEPI Group “They are not allowed to produce electricity, due to current European regulations.”

Such PP as Voice They directly opposed the proposal of the multinational group. Vox’s deputy, Jose Maria Figaredoprotested against the idea that Hunosa would be the public company that manages the concessions because “it accumulates losses of several million dollars year after year.” The PP’s spokesman for energy in Congress, Juan Diego Requenajustified his opposition because this measure would amount to establishing “an energy autarky unprecedented in 70 years”.

For her part, the economic spokesperson of the PNV, Idoia Sagastizabalstressed that energy sovereignty does not depend on whether the management of the company “is public or private”, but rather on “good and efficient management of resources”.
Division within the government
The truth is that these divergences between the partners of the Government Frankenstein of Pedro Sanchez became the our daily bread. This same Tuesday, Together joined PP, Voice And UPN to reverse in plenary session of Congress the admission to the treatment of the bill by the left partners of the PSOE to modify the Urban Leases Act and limit seasonal and room rentals.
