Uncertain government outlook

The end of autumn is being somewhat disturbing for the continuity of President Sánchez’s government. And not only because he suffered a defeat when the stability path or spending ceiling in the last November plenary session of the Congress of Deputies, when the finance proposal was rejected by 165 votes in favor compared to 178 against, but because the judicial problems are getting worse.

Thus, after the ruling against Attorney General of the State was completed with the entry into the Soto del Real prison of Beads and Koldo, the squires of the peugeot, although Sánchez will say that it happened a long time ago (2016).

On the other hand, the Government seems to have achieved success by agreeing with the Unions on the path of increasing salaries of public officials for the three-year period 2025 to 2028 by 11.4%. It is striking that despite the budget veto in its first parliamentary stage, such concessions can be made, without knowing how they will be implemented.

The call election smell seems to want to get rid of such an agreement or royalty, because when the civil servant salary bill is greased it seems that the elections are not far away in time.

However, nothing seems to support an upcoming electoral call, although the calendar of sessions in Congress and the holding of regional elections in Extremadura on December 21 alleviate the parliamentary agenda, lately so unfavorable for the President and its Government.

This uncertain panorama, which will surely lead to strengthening the president’s international agenda as is already being seen, does not clear up doubts about the future of the Government in this time. XV Legislaturera except pulling forward.

Some well-intentioned people will wonder what some prominent commentators are doing, why bridges are not built between the Government and the PP, to move the budgets forward and leave behind, for example, thornier issues such as regional financing.

There are examples in the past. In 1992, in the midst of the collapse of the last government of Felipe González, with herethe memory of Aznar’s cry, Go away Mr. Gonzalez!, HE The autonomous agreements of 1992 were agreed upon, which made it possible to parify the competence ceilings of the so-called Slow lane communities, of article 143 CE with those of article 151 CE

It will be said that those were different times and that Felipe González is not Sánchez. But the situation was devilish with the arrest after the flight of Luis Roldán as Director of the Civil Guard, the resignation and subsequent imprisonment of Mariano Rubio for the crime of tax fraud (Ibercorp Case) as Governor of the Bank of Spain (emblem of the beutifaul people of the 90s and friend of FG) plus the financial troubles of the Minister of Agriculture Vicente Albero and the FILESA case (illegal financing of the PSOE), among others. Politically José Luis Corcuera (Interior) had to resign after the STC regarding the kick in the door (Corcuera Law).

However, such a situation of misgovernment does not seem to be too far from the situation current , with three PSOE leaders indicted and two in jail and with the family problems that can act as a boomerang turn against the president of the Government.

Perhaps if the president intends to remain in the Government until 2027 it could be a reasonable solution if we were in a situation that is not. Sanchez has broken all bridges of understanding with the PP and Despite being a political chameleon, it is very difficult to tear down the political walls erected and the unnecessary rudeness towards Feijóo. Which is why it does not seem realistic to continue down that path.
