People have reasons that electoralism doesn't understand.

Let me start with a piece of news that shouldn't be news, but you'll soon understand why I'm opening the analysis with it: 50 days after the fatal accident in Gelida, Trains ran between Ripoll and La Garriga this morning.For now, there will be one train per direction every hour, with speed limits on sections where risks still exist. The alternative road service that has been in place for the last month and a half will continue. Applause, and that's about it.

Because today, for example, we learned that Spain has enough oil reserves for three and a half months if it doesn't receive a single barrel. We're already counting every drop of gasoline. You can imagine the cascading repercussions of this situation.

This was discussed during the government's question time. Juntos proposed to President Illa that he convene the parliamentary groups to discuss the consequences of the war, and Illa immediately agreed. But that's where the consensus ended, because Esquerra then asked a question, amidst the increasingly loud undercurrent that there are only nine days left for the Republicans and Socialists to reach an agreement to approve the budget. Their positions are immovable. Esquerra calls for an explicit commitment from the PSOEJosep Maria Jové:

"You are president because you signed an agreement with separatists. Don't pressure us with timelines, presenting proposals without having the votes guaranteed. Because this, Mr. President, is not the way. The way is to fulfill what was agreed upon. Because when we talk about progress on sovereignty as we signed, then you're burdened by the same old baggage of the PSOE's electoral defeats."

But President Illa isn't budging either. His word that progress will be made on the Generalitat managing 100% of the personal income tax should be enough.

Salvador Illa: "I not only defend the agreements thanks to which I am President of the Generalitat of Catalonia—I am honored to be President of the Generalitat of Catalonia—but I am proud of it. I will honor and fulfill the agreements I signed with you, some of which are difficult, some of which demand that we don't sign, don't sign, don't sign, don't sign, don't sign, don't sign, don't sign, don't sign, don't sign, don't sign, don't sign, don't say it and don't fulfill it. I haven't done so in the past. In 2023, when the coalition government at that time between you and Junts broke down, the PSC, with a higher electoral result in votes than your political force, supported the budget, thinking of the good of the country. We will do what we believe is needed, which is the budget, listening to everyone and of course honoring the agreements we signed with you, because I am, I repeat, proud."

They're crawling. Junqueras needs to distance himself from Rufián's image as the PSOE's reliable crutch with an electoral project for Spain. Illa is telling him that if they go to elections now, Junqueras won't be able to be the candidate. And we say that, given the state of the world, giving up on the budget is a betrayal of the people's needs and trust in the institutions. Electoralism has reasons that people don't understand. Or rather, people have reasons that electoralism doesn't understand. Or no longer wants to understand.

Good morning.
