Neither elections nor a matter of trust | Spain

The deliberations of Pedro Sánchez of this weekend, after the imperative need to give political, ethical and concrete response to the malazo received by the alleged corruption of those who trust their party most, go parallel to the elucubrations and hypotheses of tens of dozens of leaders and pictures of the PSOE. Desolation is absolute and in the face such a crisis, the desperate cry arises that « take measures. » Due to their responsibility with the country and with its party, you will take very meditated decisions, they point out in their environment, without lessen an apex their state of dismay, they say. What should be done arise in the requested opinions.

This Monday, at the meeting of the Federal Executive Commission, the Secretary General will present his first decisions, already advanced last Thursday from the headquarters of the PSOE: an internal audit and the necessary relief of the already resigned Santos Cerdán of the Almighty Secretariat of Organization. The most widespread opinion does not consider feasible, although the official version denies it, that the legislature is completed until 2027. But neither do elections in autumn, as some territorial leaders advocate.

« You have to leave some margin for the party to take air and develop with some normality, » socialist interlocutors point out. « No one summons such anticipated elections to lose them and govern the PP and VOX, » says Manuel de la Rocha, a member of the Federal Committee, assigned to the socialist left current and respected voice in the PSOE. It does point to that local and regional candidates can aspire to have general elections as soon as possible to move them away from municipal and regional and not harm them. In addition, as a description, it points to “critics” that when asking for elections they seek Sánchez’s departure to be replaced. And that is its objective, regardless of electoral results.

From the executive meeting they have to leave “radical changes”, internal measures for the party and for the Government, in the form of proposals for legislative changes that cappose the cracks of corruption in the central administration, socialist sources suggest. In these hours, the requests, very few public, that the president undergoes a matter of confidence has no signs of prospering. Sanchez has enough information to rule it out, once the opinions of the parties and groups that have to support it are known. The maximum difficulties are in together and in Podemos. The conditions that both would put to give confidence would lead to wear impossible to assume.

In ERC, BNG and EH Bildu – the first two ask the president to appear and offer explanations of what has happened, unlike the PP, which has the closed story with the sentence that Sánchez « knew everything » – they give margin to listen to him, always pending that they could emerge more episodes contrary to the law and democratic decency. « The scenario is very volatile, » they rivery these formations, which will request forceful measures in the administration controls. At the head of these demands will be the only coalition partner, to add, as the second vice president Yolanda Díaz has advanced.

This morning, when Sánchez goes behind closed doors to the members of the PSOE executive, the General Coordinator of the United Left, Antonio Maíllo, an essential part of adding, will expose a block of democratic and anti -corruption regeneration measures in Congress. « You have to get out of regrets and turn this shame into a political action of democratic audacity and radicalism, » Maílloo told this newspaper.

The thesis on whether or not the Spanish administration has enough dikes against corruption differ; For some provincial and regional leaders, the controls are enormous, to the point of making decisions difficult in municipalities and autonomous areas. These clippers, however, coexist with the cracks that make possible the award of works and services to certain companies in exchange for illegal bite or payments, out of all control. As has happened for decades.

That is what they did, according to the UCO reports, José Luis Ábalos, his advisor, Koldo García, and Santos Cerdán. The first had the maximum support and closest confidence of the government president for years. Then he deposited it in Cerdán, with the same intensity. Sánchez’s absolute dedication to the government’s task led to all party affairs to be in the hands of these two organization secretaries. From now on, those affected by party decisions adopted by Cerdán will emerge, according to different territorial sources. But that chapter is different from corruption.

« Isolation » In Sánchez’s decision -making It is another of the epigraphs that excel in the last hours, with differentiation of the sectoral decisions of the party of party. In the latter, it is already sitting indubected that it let the organization secretaries; Something habitual when the parties, at least the PSOE and the PP, are in the government. The decisions that Sánchez must make, in the worst of situations since his arrival to power, are not only sectoral, although also, but of deep political definition. It is indicated by socialist interlocutors who wonder if around the leader there are counselors at that point
