The Government has still not recovered from the blow of the elections in andalusia, but has decided to react out the attack. The president, Pedro Sánchez, has announced this Tuesday that it finally will present the Budgets in the Congress, even at the risk that they will be defeated if the pro-independence catalans have an amendment of totality. Sanchez had suggested two weeks ago that it will not submit if you do not had support, because he didn’t want “stun” to the spaniards. The sinking of the PSOE in the polls on Sunday he has been forced to change plans.

The Council of Ministers will approve in January the project of General Budgets of the State for 2019 and submit it to the Congress. “The Executive will do their homework,” said Sanchez in an interview on Telecinco. Currently only has secured the backing of United we Can. With the movement taken up, the president seeks to pressure the separatists of ERC and PDeCAT in an attempt to attract them. The Government believes that both can change their mind after the social protests and labor in Catalonia by the cuts of recent years and the emergence of Vox on the political chessboard. “They’re going to have to explain that” if you don’t vote, he stressed. The support of the pro-independence catalans conditions in addition to the PNV.

The decision to submit the public accounts for the next financial year it also coincides with the granting of a truce with Susana Díaz as long as there are possibilities of keeping the Junta de Andalucía, governed by the socialists since 36 years ago. Your loss dedicated to a stage unprecedented in that the direction of the socialist party maintains that the president in functions of the Board and leader of the federation’s most powerful would have to resign from their positions. The executive softened by the morning the ways and opted to defuse the tension with Diaz, after the escalation open on the eve from Ferraz, for fear of the impact of a crisis internal to the electoral cycle in 2019.

on the one hand, Sanchez and his team blame the president of Andalusia from the defeat and prepare to take the control in as much as they can of this federation, but on the other go on the offensive in Congress to try to force all groups to be defined. Sanchez throws a clear message to its allies in the motion of censorship: if you don’t support him, you know that you assume the risk that the right to be with the Government in the same way that it has achieved a majority in the andalusian Parliament. “In case you do not succeed the Government İmajbet will have to rethink many things,” he acknowledged.
If the Budgets do not come out, most likely at this point to not be the cause of a turn very important of pro-independence supporters, will begin in January, the countdown to the general elections and Sanchez will have the story I was looking for, that is, that he tried everything to pass progressive measures, but the partners catalans did not want to. A break so it would be helpful and also to be able to get away from the pro-independence, as you claim some barons autonomic fear that happening to them in the may elections, the same as Diaz.

Pending Andalusia

The decision to submit Budgets unleash so speculation about a breakthrough election. March seems too soon, but the super Sunday in may that said the secretary of the Organization, José Luis Ábalos, is on top of the table each time with more force. Sanchez preferred to hold out until the autumn because it was supposed that in may there would be a strong consolidation of the majority of the left with a great alliance, socialist party-we Can, but the elections in andalusia they put everything in question. In The Moncloa insist that the decision of the possible advance poll shall not be taken until after Christmas. The rotation of Sanchez seems to indicate that everything is precipitating, although it is very difficult to make predictions with a Government supported by 84 mps, which gives a lot of turns on your own ads, as shown in the own case of the Budgets.

The address of the PSOE will support unequivocally the possibility of governing in Andalusia. This was the main conclusion of the meeting that Sanchez held this Tuesday with his executive. In case you do not get it, Ferraz is taken for granted that there will be changes in the federation that Diaz commands from five years ago. These would inexorably up the baton of the leader, preferably by their own volition.

The priority of Diaz passes for a guaranteed endowment, which right now seems almost impossible. The candidate also shows willing to stay as a regional leader of the PSOE, although in the opposition, reports Eva Saiz. “I’ve won elections and it is my responsibility,” he insisted in an interview on the Cadena SER about his intentions to opt out of the endowment. All in all, he that will not if you do not have “adequate support”. The delegate of the Government in the community, Alfonso Rodriguez Gomez de Celis, of the confidence of Sanchez, spoke about the continuity of Diaz, and asked him to “do a reflection” about your intentions to continue leading the party.

Previously the direction took a turn of 180 degrees and corrected the message that 24 hours before had been transferred to the leader of andalusia in the mouth of Ábalos. The secretary of the socialist Organization and minister of public works was chosen to soften the speech, after the fracture that the previous day was re-opened between Madrid and Seville. “In any case, massed resignations from anyone. I do not ask for the resignation of anyone. In no time I slipped into that possibility and does not correspond to our style”, we had to amend itself the number three in the party.

Warning for demobilization

Pedro Sanchez has expressed to the address of the PSOE Tuesday his concern over the drastic decline in the mobilization that affected a significant part of their electorate in Andalusia, where the socialists were left Sunday to 400,000 votes, 14 seats and more than seven percentage points (35,41% 27,96%) with respect to the elections of 2015. “I ask my organisation in Andalucia that reflect what we need to do better,” noted the president in Telecinco. “You have to wonder why we do not reach the 60% participation and why we have not mobilized the electorate of the left to confront the offensive of the right”, has reflected Ábalos.
