The PSOE court the PNV to save the labor reform with Cs if the left is entrenched

Fifteen days to vote in Congress on labor reform. The partners of the Government have already left the margins of negotiation black on white. What are they willing to give up and what are they not? But the limits have also been set by the PSOE and United We Can. The press has its sights only on the parliamentary left, and they recognize that small changes can be incorporated. But Pedro Sánchez has conveyed through his team that he does not want any change in the decree, which is a priority “preserve“The agreement reached with employers and trade unions as it is, without introducing subsequent amendments, and for that it examines the roads with the investment block, but without disregarding Ciudadanos.

But for the sum with the oranges to be operational, the Executive needs at least the abstinence from the see PNV assistants. A movement that will try this Thursday, at a meeting in Bilbao. Just the day after slamming of the door and the sounding warning of CKD: will not accept or vote for text “as is”personal projectsAn unequivocal message addressed to the second Vice President and Head of Labor, Yolanda Díaz.

The socialist spokesman in the Congress, Héctor Gómez, and the party’s organizational secretary, Santos Cerdán, hold a working lunch with the president of the ‘jeltzale’ party, Andoni Ortuzar, and with his representative in the lower house, Aitor Esteban. Lunch in which the four will be accompanied by the new leader of the PSE, Eneko Andueza, and his head of the apparatus, Miguel Angel Morales. Later, Gómez, Andueza and Morales met the general secretaries in Basque Country of the UGT and CCOO, Raúl Arza and Loli García. In Ferraz, they recall that the head of the apparatus and the spokesman met with the two Basque leaders in Madrid in November, and agreed to “visit” them. But the interview in Bilbao takes place in a climate that the Socialists interpret as more favorable: they appreciate a certain “relaxation“in the position of the PNV.

The Basque nationalists are demanding that the priority of the autonomous agreements be recognized, but Esteban acknowledged this week that “the basis is clear”. “The agreement,” he pointed out, “was made in a large percentage, but some minor amendments are acceptable and they do not break the essence of the pact and they should come forward. ” “Let’s see what the PNV proposes to us. We see them with a different attitude “, they point out in the socialist speech to this newspaper.

The CEOE hardens its position

The PSOE strives for the abstinence or favorable voice of the Ortuzar formation, and also that it opposes the processing of the reform as a bill, which if successful would mean the incorporation of changes. This point is the key for Sánchez: does not want to lose the bosses under any circumstances, and it warned this Wednesday not only that it would not accept the touch of “a comma” of the agreed text, but that if there were any amendments, it would not sit at any further negotiating table, just as reported ‘El Periódico de España’. “Must preserve the decree as it is. This is our commitment, ”sources close to Sánchez urged the government early in the day.

PSOE and United We Can add 154 votes in Congress, one less due to the vacant vacancy of Canary Deputy Alberto Rodríguez. The abstinence from the PNV will allow both, if necessary, to reform with the yes of the nine delegates from Cs and supporting other small formations, even with the nr of ERC and Bildu, the two most difficult partners. The Socialists point out that they have the support of the PDECat (4), Teruel Exists (1), the Canary Coalition (1), Nueva Canarias (1), the Regionalist Party of Cantabria (1) and at least the abstention of Más País (2), Compromise (1) and UPN (2). Yes (171) and abstentions that would pick up more than the 167 no of PP (89), Vox (52), Junts (4), CUP (2), BNG (1) and former Cs Pablo Cambronero and also ERC (13) and Bildu (5).

With that combination, the test would be passed. But that’s not the amount the press is looking for. Diaz’s team rejects this in the comparison between Cs, and they are convinced that they are yes would drive away other formations. And that their support would in any case be bread for today and hunger for tomorrow, as there are two years left in the legislature, many (social) laws that must be passed and that must necessarily come from the Cortes with the support of the parliamentary left. “From time to time. There are 15 days left, and there are many days. This is now when the negotiation started. And that the PSOE is clear that we are in that negotiation as well. We want to make the circle with the partners square “, they answer in the circle of the vice-president to this newspaper.

The question is not why Esquerra is NOT voting for this Labor Reform, the question is why this Government wants it to vote SO.

– Gabriel Rufián (@gabrielrufian) 19 January 2022

Just “makeup”

The president of the presidency, Félix Bolaños, has not yet spoken to Ciudadanos, but he has been instructed by the president to do so with all the groups. The strategy of the majority shareholder therefore goes through pressure, through the wear and tear of its interlocutors, through hasty deadlines. And having the Inés Arrimadas menu available automatically lowers the price of ERC. The Republicans issued a very strong warning this Wednesday: there is room to reach a pact on labor reform, said Gabriel Rufián in Congress, but they will not accept the decree “as it isnor the commitment of the Executive to accept their demands for later.

“It’s not mania, it’s memory. What we do not close now, we will not do later,” he assured, EFE reported. In other words, if there are no changes in the wording, the ERC will vote against it. Rufián accused the Executive of “extortion” and called it a “lie” that he negotiated with them during Christmas, because the talks only started two days ago, and with the Empelo Secretary of State, Joaquín Pérez Rey. “They dedicated themselves to it put pressure on our environment, not to negotiate“The formation of independence insists that the reform only”makeup“The spokesperson sent a message to the Vice President:” ERC do not negotiate or vote on personal projects, because maybe it’s a personal project of Yolanda Díaz “.

And it is that the head of Labor also has a lot at stake in approving her star reform, the one that will embody her mandate. And a socialist leader slips this reflection: “That Yolanda’s wonderful project comes out with the support of Cs make a big mess“.
