The Government’s anti-crisis plan hangs by a thread by the ‘CatalanGate’: the pactometer of another tight vote


The ordeal of the labor reform is repeated for the Government, which this Thursday has to save the decree of economic measures to alleviate the effects of the war in Ukraine. Everything was going well for the Executive of Pedro Sanchez until the scandal of massive espionage against the independence movement broke out. Because of pegasus, the approval of the anti-crisis plan hangs on a thread as fine as the unexpected carom with which he managed to save the labor reform. 24 hours before the outcome in Congress, PSOE and United We Can face another heart attack vote.

In principle, the bipartite PSOE (120) and United We Can (33 plus the deputy Meri Pita, who went to the Mixed Group) would have the support of More Country-Commitments (3), GNP (6), PDECat (4), Regionalist Party of Cantabria (1) and New Canary (1), which would bring the sum to 169 ‘yeses’. vox (52) and citizens (9) are already located in the ‘no’, as together (4), the former deputies of UPN (2 and Asturian Forum (one).

The Government could carry out the decree even without the popular and Republican votes, but without margin for error because the sum would be 175 ‘yes’ and 174 ‘noes’. It should be remembered that in Congress there is a seat left vacant by United We Can after the withdrawal of the minutes to Alberto Rodriguez when he was disqualified by the Supreme Court.

Yes CKD (13) and PP (88) will vote ‘no’ but EH Bildu (5) refrained, the text would be saved by the minimum. However, the Republicans and the Abertzales tend to coincide in the majority of the votes, and in this case there have also been leaders spied on in EH Bildu. If both independence forces were in the ‘no’, then only an abstention of the PP could prevent the failure of the decree.
