Moncloa assumes that the legislative session will be played out this Wednesday in Congress.

MadridThe PSOE is keeping its fingers crossed because, so far, no ally in Congress has stated that Pedro Sánchez should submit to a vote of confidence, with the sole exception of the deputy from the Canary Islands Coalition. This Wednesday in the Lower House, where Sánchez will present a series of anti-corruption measures "to regain the public's trust" following the Cerdán scandal, in the words of the Minister of the Presidency, Félix Bolaños, this Monday at an event on the Es-de- issue. The PSOE is trying to take care of its allies, with the unknown price tag.

The Moncloa government admits that there is a lot at stake and understands the "pressure" positions of its partners. 20-week paternity leave. Yolanda Díaz was initially scheduled to speak, but late Tuesday night, the Workers' Commissions announced the death of her father, veteran trade unionist Suso Díaz, at the age of 80. The Spanish community is reluctant to advance details of the initiatives and is limiting the dance of corruption schemes. For now, the Moncloa government does not want to assume the scenario that this Wednesday the conclusion is reached that Sánchez does not have the majority in Congress on his side. It must be submitted to a vote of confidence. "Strength and confidence are measured through votes in Congress. We have had more than 1,100 affirmative votes thanks to the parliamentary groups and we have passed 36 laws. And during July we hope to pass 7 more laws," the spokesperson for the Workers' Commissions reiterated this Tuesday. The second vote of confidence, although not formally a vote of confidence, will occur when the measures he announces to combat corruption must be voted on in the lower house. Sánchez's are the four deputies from Podemos, already established in an electoral framework. "We are focused on building an alternative to the two-party system." He would overcome this, given the key votes of Podemos and that of former minister José Luis Ábalos, who remains in the mixed group.

Junts' approach since the Cerdán case broke has been to maintain a low communication profile and give the PSOE time to recover and present a plan to fulfill its legislative commitments, such as the Catalan issue in Europe, which will be discussed at the European Union General Affairs Council on July 18. It is symptomatic, in this sense, that former President Carles Puigdemont has avoided commenting on the Cerdán case since it broke, despite the fact that the former number three of the PSOE was his interlocutor in the meetings in Switzerland with the mediator, along with former President José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero.

Now, sources from Junts do want to raise the tone in view of Wednesday's appearance, as they demand that he specify how he intends to continue the legislature: on the one hand, the measures to combat corruption and, on the other, how he will comply with the pending agreements, such as the new transfer of powers in immigration in line with the economic agreement - reports Núria Orriols GuiuTo move forward, the members of the board now have no interlocutor: some sources suggest that it should be Paco Salazar, who has folded due to accusations of sexism —the dismissal was made official this Tuesday—, and they are waiting to see if it is the new secretary of organization, Rebeca Torró, who takes the reins. From Junts they have only set one condition to the socialists: that they have a direct connection with the Moncloa and that what is agreed in Switzerland has a direct translation in Congress. Therefore, they demand someone with influence within the PSOE.

Other allies such as ERC believe that Sánchez's appearance comes late and demand, among other issues, a ban on Construction companies implicated in corruption for being awarded contracts, an initiative that the Spanish president is expected to announce. The Republicans maintain that corruption is a "red line," but they also admit that they will not promote any gesture that would provoke a change of government, for now. The Republicans also demand that the Socialists comply with the signed agreements, although they acknowledge the difficult situation facing the PSOE. For this reason, they gave the Socialists more time to convene the Bilateral Commission that would specify the new financing for Catalonia.Mireia Esteve reports.

For its part, the PNV (Basque Nationalist Party) expects "sincere" explanations from the head of the State's executive and clarification of why he removed Ábalos from the ministry and as the PSOE's third-in-command in July 2021, as its president, Aitor Esteban, said last week. This is one of the 50 questions that the PP has announced it will put to Alberto Núñez Feijóo and Sánchez during the debate. Aside from Coalición Canaria, Compromís MP Àgueda Micó also plans to demand a vote of confidence. For some, the scarecrow of the right and the far right is no longer useful, and Sánchez is aware that he needs to regain their trust. Therefore, in recent hours, the PSOE has made an effort to remind everyone that all the progress and transformations of recent years have been achieved thanks to its parliamentary allies.

Only resignation is useful for the PP.

"There is nothing concrete that Sánchez can do other than resign and call elections. That's the only thing that can satisfy us," Ester Muñoz, the new PP spokesperson in Congress, stated at a press conference. Feijóo will not, therefore, call for any measures related to the fight against corruption during the debate. Instead, he will address the parliamentary allies of the Spanish Prime Minister, whom he sees as "complicit" in the scandals, asking them to "stop making excuses." "This is about Sánchez or decency," PP sources maintain, adding that the party leader "will portray Sánchez as a fraud and urge him to confess everything he knows about the scheme." Feijóo held a closed-door meeting with the Popular Party parliamentary groups in Congress and the Senate on Tuesday afternoon, with the message to his supporters that it is time to put pressure on them.

Illa will appear in Parliament on July 22.

At the same time, the president of the Generalitat (Catalan government), Salvador Illa, will appear during the Parliamentary plenary session, which begins on July 22, to explain the Cerdán case. The Catalan government announced this to the Catalan parliament on Tuesday in response to requests from Junts, Vox, and the PP.
