The minority partner of the Government, United We Can, already poses a frontal clash with the older brother of the Executive, the PSOE. Neither their positions nor their proposals in the short and medium term are in tune. Quite the contrary, the differences are unavoidable and barely leave room for understanding, a terrain that narrows as the appointment with the polls approaches.
The reform of the law of yes is yes proposed by the PSOE to finally stop the sentence reductions and the release of sexual offenders is the main battlefield in which socialists and purples face each other, but it is by no means the only one .
The initiative registered yesterday by UP so that the transition from a variable-rate mortgage to a fixed-rate one can be carried out without restrictions and with all the costs borne by the bank; the blockade of the Housing law and the intervention of the rental market; the list of appearing parties in the reborn Kitchen commission; the policy in relation to Morocco and even the trip to Spain of King Emeritus Juan Carlos I are fertile grounds for discrepancy.
Everything is a reason for friction between the two partners of the Government determined, mainly from the purple side, to mark distances, already profiling itself as an actor of the opposition to the PSOE on the left flank, and decided by the way to send warning messages to Yolanda Díaz for the approach, increasingly clear that they appreciate in it, to the postulates and policies of Pedro Sánchez.
In Congress, the purple formation takes advantage of its preferential position in the parliamentary group to speak on behalf of the political space as if there were no nuances with Díaz’s proposals.
In this sense, from Podemos, for example, it is taken for granted that the second vice president will remain faithful to the position of the Ministry of Equality in relation to the law of only yes is yes and will again vote against the reform proposed by the Socialists on the 20th in the plenary session of Congress. A reform that the PSOE is not willing to negotiate and for which it only awaits support, as explained by the group’s general secretary, Isaura Leal. From UP they openly accused the socialists yesterday of having decided to return “to the Penal Code of the Pack, hand in hand with the PP and against the main feminist advance of the legislature.”
There is therefore no possibility that PSOE and UP agree to changes to rectify the law. The only path for correction is in the PSOE-PP sum. Until Tuesday, the Socialists will be able to negotiate with the popular to retouch the alleged aggression involving minors.
There is also clear reluctance between the two partners in relation to the purple proposal to create a “direct gateway” for the change from variable to fixed mortgages. The most that the PSOE reaches is to promise that they will study it, although they specify that the possibility of change is already contemplated in the code of good practices accepted by the banking entities. From Podemos, Javier Sánchez Serna, has already recalled that the PSOE rejected the measure in September.
Likewise, the purples pointed out yesterday the “incomprehensible turns” of the policy that Sánchez has deployed with Morocco and denounced the “narrow vision” and the “obstruction” of the Socialists to the appearances of senior PP officials, mainly former president Mariano Rajoy , in the reborn commission of inquiry into the Kitchen case.
To this they add, to warm up the electoral environment, their rejection of the visit that the emeritus King will make to Spain at the end of next week. The PSOE proclaims “respect” for the decisions of the members of the Royal Family while in Podemos the trip is labeled “democratic indecency” and it is emphasized that if something like this is possible it is because “PP and PSOE have blocked on 15 occasions the creation of a commission of investigation into the business and corruption of the emeritus bourbon ».
