Antoni Bassas' analysis: "The Sánchez government is faltering like never before."

The Spanish government won't fall for the time being, even though Vice President Yolanda Díaz refused to go to Congress today to sit next to Sánchez, and the PP and Vox said all kinds of things to the Spanish president. It all means: "You look like a skinned lamb, but you're the leader of the pack."

As you know, the PP's problem is that it doesn't have the necessary votes to present a motion of censure. But today Feijóo has played at saying that it is not so far awayDon't miss this sequence:

Feijóo: "He's the wolf who has led a corrupt flock. And he's come to say, 'I won't resign because Spain needs my progressive policies,' but I won't call elections to lose them. The only card they're waiting for is my resignation."

Sánchez: "The only advance will not be the elections, but the more than logical ruling on the corruption cases in the summer that affect the PP. Zero corruption does not exist, but in my party intolerance to corruption is absolute".

If the PP is counting on Junts for a motion of censure, they should get it out of their heads, firstly because the PSOE and Junts are locked in the amnesty, and secondly because the aggression against Catalan from the PP, Ayuso and Dolors Montserrat in Brussels is so brutal. which prevents any agreement, for now.

And then Rufián came along, who was very good at asking for clarifications and swept towards home, towards the Left:

Rufián: "Assure yourself that this isn't the PSOE's Gürtel case. We'll never see Mr. Sánchez on paper. Swear and perjure yourself. Burn it into your memory, ladies and gentlemen of the PSOE. The left can't steal, those people can. We cannot steal"Don't make us choose between cheap corrupt people or premium corrupt people."

Sánchez defended himself by saying that the UCO report is not a court ruling and that as soon as they learned of it, they acted. Rufián was quite irritated and took Sánchez's response badly, refusing to accept his lessons in purity. Rufián admitted to Ustrell that his party was urging him not to go to the Moncloa Palace, but that he would go because the party told him to. Of course, the Cerdán case is particularly damaging to Esquerra, which has fought for a left-wing government in Catalonia and Madrid.

Jordi Turull also attended the Moncloa Palace yesterday, and a photo was taken that has something of a historic significance: Jordi Turull, one of the political prisoners of October 1st, sitting in the Moncloa Palace next to the Spanish Prime Minister. In fact, Turull is one of the four still barred from office by the Supreme Court until 2030, along with Junqueras, Bassa, and Romeva, because in addition to sedition—which was removed from the Penal Code—they were also convicted of embezzlement.

He assured Junts that he continues to defend the Brussels agreement, that he will appoint an interlocutor with Junts to replace Cerdán in a few days, and that he is going all out. There was talk of amnesty and Catalan in Europe, where the PP is being so aggressive against it that the PSOE knows it can win Junts' continued trust if it pulls.

Incidentally, people who have seen Pedro Sánchez up close describe him as "a man in very poor physical condition and mentally depressed."

Good morning.
