The Government proposes that the presidents conference focuses on housing and professional training | Spain

The government wants the presidents conference, QIt will be held on June 6 in Barcelona, He focuses again on housing, such as the last in Santander, and also in professional training, one of the most relevant bets of the Executive, which has made a deep reform of her looking at Germany’s model. The Government tries again, as already done in the previous one, that the meeting of all autonomous presidents speaks of fundamental issues, in which the powers of the communities are very significant, in which agreements could be reached, and take out of that appointment questions in which the total confrontation is secured, such as autonomous financing.

However, as happened on the previous occasion, the Executive has to agree on the agenda with the regional presidents, and given the weight that the PP has, which controls the vast majority of communities after its success in the last regional elections, it can impose new agenda issues. It seems very difficult to think that the presidents of the PP do not want Agreement between the PSC and ERC for particular financing in this community which allowed the investiture of Salvador Illa. The Minister of Territorial Policy, Ángel Víctor Torres, will call on May 28 a meeting of the Preparatory Committee in which the final agenda will be closed with the issues that the PP wants to include.

The question of housing, which is a priority for the executive and the one that is dedicating many legal resources and reforms, With the new Housing Law as a central axis, it was already discussed at the previous presidents conference because Sánchez wanted to focus on this issue the meeting. However, The issues that took care in that appointment in Santander were others, especially regional financing.

It is almost impossible now to think of an agreement in housing because the autonomies of the PP have a very different vision than that of the PSOE and Sumar government, which defends the Housing Law and the Control of Rental Pric And they only bet on tax drops, land liberalization and more construction.

In any case, from the political point of view, for the Government the most important thing about this Presidents Conference, beyond the content, in which it will try to reach agreements even if it does not seem easy with the current environment between the two great parties, it is the message offered by its celebration in Barcelona, ​​in the Pedralbes Palace, that of the great occasions. A year after the arrival of Illa to power, the fact that a meeting of all regional presidents in Barcelona can be held normally in Barcelona with King Felipe VI, who usually presides over a meeting before these appointments, is in itself, for the Executive, a very powerful message of political normalization.

For Sánchez, who has suffered a lot of wear and tear in the rest of Spain by Amnesty’s law and that, however, he has a lot of support in Catalonia, it is essential to claim that his policy in this conflict has given visible results, such as the reduction of independence tension and the weakening of the weight of independence in Parliament. If a few years ago the problem was that the presidents of the Generalitat did not want to go to the conferences of presidents, as well as their directors did not go to the Fiscal and Financial Policy Council, now the reality is the opposite: Illa not only goes but is the host of this appointment in Barcelona, ​​as proof of the overturning that has given the political situation in Catalonia, something that will be one of Sánchez’s great buds in the next electoral campaign.
