While the leaders of the PP continue to announce the Apocalypse, that is, the absolute disaster to which the coalition government would be leading Spain, and obsessively demanding early elections, the president Pedro Sanchez has managed, once again, to carry out the General State Budgets with a vast majority of 188 seats, 12 more than the absolute majority and 21 more of the 167 with whom he obtained his inauguration on January 7, 2020. The Senate process is still pending, but even if changes were introduced there, the last word would go back to Congress. That is, if nothing strange happens, at the end of the year the State accounts, already blessed by the European Union, will be published in the ‘BOE’.
The approval of the Budgets is essential to apply government policies and, at this time, to be able to channel European funds recovery. If they had not been able to approve them, the legislature would be considered death by the instability of a government without sufficient support to approve practically anything. So, in that case, yes, electoral bells would be ringing, as is the case in Andalusia. The Andalusian president did not seem interested in advancing the elections, but now, without budgets for 2022, he could call them for next spring. That is a hypothesis that the popular leader likes, Pablo Casado, because he would surely score a new victory for his match, but it may not be so good for the moderate Moreno Bonilla, who could become the first popular leader to directly incorporate Vox to the government.

The budget success leaves Sánchez hands free to decide. It seems that it will exhaust the legislature. It would not make sense to advance before the economic recovery consolidates and their expectations improve in the polls. The luck of the president, the stability that having the accounts approved gives him and the consolidation of that diverse majority, allows him to choose when and why to do them. And it is not little.
