Spain could go out early from the political impasse. The 13 members of the Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (Erc), the left republican Catalan, they decided that it will abstain in the vote of confidence, thus giving the green light to the premier socialist in charge Pedro Sanchez to form a government with the left of we can Pablo Iglesias . The confidence vote is expected in the end of the week.
Sánchez, who will be a premier of the new government, and Iglesias, deputy prime minister, on the 30th of December have presented the details of the program of progressive government, focused on increasing taxes for high incomes and large businesses, increase the minimum wage, and more guarantees for pensions. Crucial in the choice of abstention of the nationalist Left, the republican, would have been the opening of the leader Sánchez to future discussions concerning the future of the Catalan region.
