Antoni Bassas' analysis: 'And meanwhile, there's no commuter rail or funding.'
This episode of economic and moral corruption (conversations about women are disgusting) is the last thing we needed, at a time when the world is hanging by a thread and Catalonia's problems are dragging on in the queue.
To counterattack, as Pedro Sánchez did yesterday, you will be sure that nothing but the splash will come outI think they've agreed not to harm Ábalos, Cerdán, and Koldo, because the three would have more to lose than to gain. However, today Madrid newspapers are reporting that the Civil Guard is preparing a report investigating the Speaker of Congress, Francina Armengol, who met at least once with the alleged commission.
In any case, after five hours of meeting, Sanchez made a "If I don't stay, they'll come back."The old recipe: I've had a serious case of corruption, but the PP, on top of that, are fascists.on watch"He speaks of the PP's weaknesses, which are threefold: its history of corruption, the fact that it governs a few regions with Vox, and the fact that it lacks the parliamentary majority to win a vote of no confidence.
It's curious: today, Sánchez wouldn't win a vote of confidence (Podemos deputies wouldn't vote for him), nor would he very likely win an election, but Sánchez would overcome a vote of no confidence, which, precisely, is the only possibility that depends on the PP. That's why the PP already ruled it out yesterday.
Sánchez was short on explanations, because this time it's more than just a case of PSOE corruption, in a generic sense. It's a case that points directly to him, because he made Ábalos and Cerdán secretaries of the party's organization, and Ábalos, in addition, made him a minister. By the way, yesterday he announced that Ábalos had been expelled from the PSOE. Oh, but wasn't he expelled? 16 months ago they'd opened a case against him. Had they forgotten? And Sánchez was short on explanations because the "PP is coming" thing isn't a government program or anything.
Today, Sánchez is meeting with Turull and tomorrow he will meet with Esquerra. From that perspective, it doesn't seem like he'll have to suffer. But will he be able to pass the 2026 budget?
By the way, Acciona, the company listed in the UCO report as having won public works contracts in exchange for commission payments, has dismissed the company's Director of Construction. Will there be fines for companies that have accepted the commission scheme?
This episode of economic and moral corruption (conversations about women are disgusting) is the last one we needed, at a time when the world is hanging by a thread and Catalonia's problems are dragging on in lines. The commuter train system in Cunit is suffering from construction work and the inadequacy of alternative bus systems, as happened yesterday. The State, Adif, and Renfe are in no way diligent in managing the daily mobility problems of thousands of passengers, while the AP-7 is experiencing daily congestion. Regarding the transfer of commuter trains to the Generalitat, we only know that they are combing through it. And regarding the new financing system, which was supposed to be presented before the end of the month, we only know that the PSOE is asking for more time. We live in a country at a standstill.
Good morning.
