"No government crisis and no Santos [Cerdán] leaving the PSOE," "Nothing about Santos at all. We'll find an audio recording of him talking about public works, but nothing about compensation." Only 24 hours before the Civil Guard report and the near-indictment of the former PSOE number 3 in the Supreme Court were released, several sources from the Moncloa closed ranks and expressed their absolute conviction that Pedro Sánchez's right-hand man at Ferraz was clean. "We're very calm," they insisted. Did Cerdán deceive his entire party until the very last moment? Did he claim that he shouldn't defend himself against anything because he had no idea that Koldo García had been secretly recording conversations for over four years? This is the version that Pedro Sánchez proposes to survive the Cerdán case, the harsh blow of a legislature contaminated by action in the courts to unsuspected extents, whether due to the legitimate oversight of endemic corruption or the temptations to engage in politics from the judiciary.

The movement of tectonic plates has been smoothing the terrain so that the Spanish President, Pedro Sánchez, can dedicate this week to defend the pardons of political prisoners without great resistance. First it was the endorsement of ERC for the pardons, but then this was added to that of the Spanish employers, the Cercle d'Economia and the Catalan Church, which were reacting in chain to the message, launched in May from the Spanish government, that the will was to release the pro-independence leaders. The week that starts this Monday is important for the head of the executive to control the story of this decision, with the memory of the clash with the State and the imprisonment of the sovereignty leaders still fresh in the memory of citizens of both sensibilities. It begins with an event at the Liceu in which, under the title "Reencuentro. A project for the future for all of Spain", Sánchez announced that tomorrow he will propose the granting of pardons to the Council of Ministers. "The government of Spain has decided to face the problem, to seek harmony, that's why I will propose the pardons to the Council of Ministers", he said: "We want to resume political dialogue".

The second vice-president of the Spanish government and leader of Podemos, Pablo Iglesias (Madrid, 1978), meets ARA taking advantage of his presence in Catalonia for the campaign.

Dolors Bassa has been the first one of the political prisoners to leave prison this morning, due to the obtention of the open regime for the second time. The former Catalan minister of Work and Social Affairs has made a call for mobilization: "I want to tell everyone to mobilize, because every person who stays at home on 14-F is a vote that goes to 155. We must vote, we must win again, we must show them that the ballot boxes are on our side again".
