PSC and Esquerra, and the reasons that a divided country does not understand
Junqueras, who knows that the negotiations for the new financing agreement didn't go as well as he publicly claims, wants to emphasize his support for Illa. This is especially true at a time when Esquerra Republicana, through Rufián, is seen as a reliable crutch for the PSOE. Neither Illa nor Junqueras benefits from holding elections, and both know that the country needs a budget, particularly given the backdrop of the ongoing conflict.
The war in Iran that began on Saturday It's much more than a backdrop to our everyday lives. It's not that conflict we see images of but that remains distant from us, because It has the potential to complicate our daily livesAnd a lot: the price of oil and gas has increased, there are disruptions in international trade, global insecurity has increased, France has reminded Iran – and the whole world in general – that it has a nuclear arsenal.
When the world gets this complicatedOur things seem smaller, but they still exist. And it turns out that this morning Esquerra Republicana announced that it will present a comprehensive amendment to the budget.
If yesterday Councillor Dalmau wanted to reassure Esquerra by guaranteeing that he would honor the investiture agreement.This morning, Esquerra upped the ante and told Illa that what he said Sending a budget to Parliament without having the necessary support secured was a mistakeDo you remember that ten days ago I described what was happening as a duel between Illa and Junqueras? Well, as you can see, the stakes have continued to rise.
PSC and Esquerra have about a month to continue negotiating, but both sides have chosen to sit at the table as far apart as possible to try to negotiate from a position of strength. Illa doesn't want to upset Sánchez with the 100% income tax. While there are elections in Castile and León in two Sundays and in the lead-up to the Andalusian elections, presumably in June, Junqueras, who knows that the negotiations for the new financing didn't go as well as he publicly claims, wants to emphasize his support for Illa. Especially at a time when Esquerra, through Rufián, is seen as a reliable crutch for the PSOE. Neither Illa nor Junqueras benefits from elections, and both know that the country needs a budget, even more so with the backdrop of war. There is money now (because the State is collecting taxes and because EU funds have still arrived), but if the world enters an economic downturn, the room for maneuvering with the budget will be narrower. And the needs are many. The PSC and Esquerra have their own logic, but it doesn't reflect the will of the people.
Good morning.
