Does not have “doubt” that Díaz will lead the space to the left of the PSOE and that Podemos will be part of it despite the current struggle for the “power quotas“
The president defends that it is positive that his government is not broken by the task to be done and because it is a “good argument” for the progressive voter
The account of how many have been shocks, throughout these more than two and a half years, between PSOE and United We Can, has already been lost a long time ago. More or less serious, the frictions have been constants. With each disagreement, the two partners have reiterated that the coalition held. And that’s what the president wants. Pedro Sánchez is sure that the Government will resist united until the end of the legislature. For two basic reasons, because of the task still ahead and because that permanence is a “good argument“for the future, since the message is projected to progressive voters that the left knows how to understand each other.
The Chief Executive has no doubts that his Executive will go ahead, and he conveyed this in an informal conversation to journalists in Mostar (Bosnia and Herzegovina), on the second station of his tour of the Balkans. Since he is also convinced that Yolanda Díaz will go “to the end” with his platform, Add. In other words, it will give her time to consolidate her and attend the 2023 general elections with her in which, if nothing goes wrong, she would be the candidate of a movement in which Podemos will be, no matter how much the tensions within that space because of the disputes over the “power quotas”.
Sánchez underlines that bringing the legislature to an end would resolve the “governance crisis & rdquor; that started in 2015 with the chain of elections, electoral repetitions and instability
Sánchez defended before the informants that he is “Okay“That the coalition arrives united until the general elections. In the first place, because the Government still has a task “before” in the scarce year and a half that remains until the polls. “It has to be a strong Government and with a parliamentary majority to address the just response to events”, his team abounded later. But the president also weighs on the conviction that a four-year legislature, exhausted at the end, “would end with the governance crisis in which the PP put Spain in 2015″, a year since which generals, electoral repetitions and instability have followed one another. The socialist leader also maintains that “from a progressive point of view”, that “the different lefts are understood It’s a good argument for the future.”
In other words, the fact that the coalition resists, despite its ailments, is an incentive for a progressive electorate that is more prone to demobilization. In Moncloa they emphasize that It’s not about putting up “just because”, but because the Government is backed by its backpack: the 150 legislative projects, the two consecutive State Budgets “in due time and form” and the “very deep” reforms undertaken, such as pensions, the labor market or the system education and vocational training. The objective, they insist, is “to protect the middle and working classes and transform Spain.”
That Sánchez confirms that his intention is to reach the polls hand in hand with United We Can is relevant, since until now it was speculated that, at some point, as the general elections approached, the two partners would opt for divorce to make a difference in the face of their electoral parishes, to redefine their profile. The general secretary of the PSOE does not believe that this is the best option, because it would discourage his bases, and also because if the Executive is reissued it will be with the same formula: the coalitionthat cost so much to build and that has experienced so many shocks in these almost three years of existence.

“Extreme situations”
Díaz has already confirmed that his platform will not be ready for the regional and municipal elections in May. And he has not cleared up the unknown about his own future and about his movement, since he first wants “listen“And then look for the fit of the parties. But the president is counting on the fact that the second vice president will be the one who represents the space to the left of the PSOE in the legislative elections scheduled for December 2023.”I have no doubt that she will reach the generals.”affirmed emphatically from Mostar.
The president says “empathize” with the purple because “they have not had a previous experience of government and have suffered a crisis of leadership & rdquor; by the exit of Iglesias
The Socialists are well aware that they need Díaz and his project, heir to United We Can, to work and have a good performance at the polls, because an absolute majority is unattainable for them right now and the only options to repeat the government are for neither of the two partners to sink. That is why the order is to take care of the second vice president, not to suffocate her and bet on her. And also for that reason the complaints towards the purple ones are contained.
Sánchez, in fact, says “empathize” with United We Can, with the members of an Executive that is experiencing, in this legislature, “situations extreme& rdquor ;, first because of the pandemic and now because of the war in Ukraine. The purples “have not had a previous experience of government and have suffered a crisis of leadership & rdquor; by the departure of Pablo Iglesias, “and that affects any organization & rdquor ;, according to his analysis. The noise emanating from the coalition “help & rdquor; for the wear and tear of the Executive, but he believes that an average citizen has more “medium-term perspective & rdquor ;.
Flip the polls
In any case, the socialist leader prefers do not interfere in domestic affairs within United We Can. He estimates that, despite the evident tensions between Díaz and Podemos (represented by the ministers Ione Belarra and Irene Montero), the party founded by Iglesias, and over which he continues to exert enormous influence, will form part of Sumar. He thinks that the friction is due to the struggle for “power quotas”, because now all the actors in the space are seeing “how the pieces fit together” of the puzzle

Sánchez is aware that he has a very tough year ahead of him and that Alberto Núñez Feijóo’s PP is in the lead. His confidence is that the citizens “will end up getting to know & rdquor; -in the Executive and in the PSOE they see him as “a bluff”, not very consistent-, but the work of his party and the Government, he already said in his press conference to balance the course, on Friday, is “to turn the polls around.” According to his calculations, inflation will drop from the 10.8% it marked in July. And it will act as a certain cushion for the electricity bill, he recalls, the Iberian exception, since it will be operational for a year. The average price per megawatt hour is around 140 euros, for the between 400 and 500 euros paid by Germany, France or Italy.
The next general elections, in any case, will arrive at the latest in December 2023. The president insisted this Friday that he respects the Constitution, and this clearly prevents stretching the legislature, taking it to January 2024, because the mandate of the current Courts will end at the four years of their election, on November 10, 2023, and 25 days before, they will be dissolved if there is no advance payment. This implies that Congress and Senate will not be constituted by the time the Princess of Asturias turns 18, on October 31 of the next year. Sánchez pointed out to the journalists that he does not interfere at all with the act of compliance with Leonor’s Magna Carta, because he can move at the beginning of 2024 without problems, when the new Courts are already formed.
