The five days that the Prime Minister used as “personal reflection” after the investigation opened against his partner for an alleged case of influence peddling have resulted in a commitment: to promote a plan for “democratic regeneration” when the summer returns. And as Pedro Sánchez himself confirmed, this Tuesday, the Council of Ministers will finally give the green light to this project.
“The Council of Ministers will approve the Action Plan for Democracy that I announced before the summer. A plan that comes from our Constitution and the measures approved by the European Commission and Parliament. A plan that will help us offer more transparency, more plurality and more guarantees to this House, to the Senate and to the information ecosystem. And I am convinced that it will end up obtaining the support of all the democrats in our country,” he said.
So far, no one in the government has given details on the content or scope of this plan, which has been drawn up in recent weeks within the executive coalition between the PSOE and Sumar. However, the parliamentary partners agree that measures such as the Gag Law, the Official Secrets Law and the reform of the offence of insulting the Crown should be included in the package of measures.
